My childhood family friends used to love Neil Diamond. Wow brings back memories.

The only concert I've ever been to was Hank Williams Jr. But I'm sure Neil Diamond would be a favorite.

I saw Neil Diamond in concert from the cheap seats (which weren’t cheap) in Lexington, Kentucky in 1984 (I think; might have been 1983). He was a fantastic performer. My favorite song of his:

Thanks to the magic of iTunes, I have a bunch of Neil Diamond songs on my phone. One of my favorites is Soolaimon. These verses stand out:

God of my day
Lord of my night
Seek for the way
Taking me home

I’ve been to Peter, Paul, and Mary concerts in four different cities across four different decades. The last one, not long before Ms. Travers died, was as the guest of one of my Korean vendors who had always wanted to see them. When the crowd was invited to sing along to Puff, the Magic Dragon, I was surprised the Koreans knew all the words. I asked them about it; they said the government-run English classes in Korea all use Puff (and I assume other songs) to teach the students English.

Wow, you gave me a chuckle, I wouldn't have even guessed about Puff the Magic Dragon. But I remember our teachers having us listen to it as well.
