Boyd Tinsley is my homeboy

If you don't know who Boyd Tinsley is... look him up.
OK just kidding. I'll tell you.
Boyd is the violinist for the Dave Matthews Band. And if you've never heard of THEM, then that's just plain wrong.

I had the privelege of attending a DMB concert last night. I won the tickets at Mariemont's prom in May, and since Mariemont was having its meet-the-team night, I went with Dave Campbell.
It was a pretty sweet concert. Sure, there were some pretty.... excited people there. And yeah, the lawn was a little wet and muddy. No, Dave (Campbell) and I didn't know all the songs. And yes, Dave (Matthews) did take about 5 minutes after every song before starting the next one. BUT...
The concert was one of the most entertaining experiences ever. The music was awesome, the stage was beautiful and intense, and best of all the environment was one of amazing excitement. Here's a sample of one of my favorite Dave songs, and believe me, it's even better when it's live.

The coolest parts were Boyd's impromptu violin solos. This guy goes NUTS when he gets rolling. At times, it seemed like Dave Matthews was completely off stage and Boyd was running the show. Coleman noticed that Boyd's right arm is friggin HUGE. See this guy play violin live and you'll realize why.

That one's called "Ants Marching." You can download it off iTunes, but I highly recommend, when downloading DMB songs, get the live versions.
Downside is, the place was packed, and it took nearly an hour to get home, even if i DIDN'T turn the wrong way on 275. Sorry I missed VI, guys, but I'll see you next week.

I'll update later with info about the first day(s) of school.

Live big. Stay classy.
