I was four years old when I saw the Sawyer Brown country band for the first time in 1986. I couldn't take how loud the music was and so I was taken home just minutes after the show started.

God bless you and the band members always!!!

P.S. I saw them again in 1994, 2005, and last summer and yes, because I was way older by those times, I stayed for the whole show each time. Lord willing and all due to how awesome the band continues to be, I will be seeing them again this Saturday.

I saw John Medeski a couple of years ago during a solo piano tour of his. The first part of the set was totally improvised and very good. My wife hated it and wanted to leave as the second part of the show featuring more structured songs was beginning. I could have put my foot down and insisted we stay but I would still be hearing her complain about it today. You have to pick and choose your battles with your spouse.

I was escorted by a couple of security guards and police officers from a Rush concert in 1981. I've left a few before the encore for reasons ranging from work the next day to beating traffic to the allure of sex to a band just sucking.

You got escorted out of a Rush concert why?

I inadvertently knocked an authoritative type person down a runway. Like these things don't happen to everybody at least once. (smiling)
