Good news/bad news - all in perspective

Good news - I was elated to receive an email letting me know that Joseph Arthur would be at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati on October 3rd. His CDs are still on the top of my listening list (it's not just gathering dust in the sidebar ), and I've played a number of times at the art deco 20th Century. Arthur is an amazing artist, and his live performances get rave reviews for his use of looping and found sounds to create textures and layers as a one man band. Just up my alley.

Bad news - I can't go :-(

Perspective - we'll be on a Mediterranean cruise at the time. And I guess I'll just have to settle for local shows with Steely Dan/Michael McDonald, Cirque du Soleil, and the Blue Man Group in September and October. I'll still be looking to find one of Arthur's shows that I can attend within driving distance.
