Music is my life. I have been surrounded by music ever since I was a young child‚ and sing is one of my passions. I have been in choirs‚ and took a few years of piano lessons.

However‚ my thoughts about the concert‚ the people that I was going to encounter‚ and the venue scene were

I chose to do my Concert Critique on a local classic rock band‚ VIVA. The live concert took place on Friday‚ June 24‚ 2005 at 8:30 p.m. at Bayside Market Place. The concert was held outdoors on a stage overlooking the water.

On August 1‚ 1972‚in Madison Square Garden‚ ex-Beatle‚ George Harrison‚ organized "The Concert for Bangladesh‚" with all proceeds destined for Bangladesh‚ a suffering area of India. It was a difficult time in the United States‚ the war in Vietnam was still raging‚ and people had grown hardened by the years of blood and violence.
