I am starting to work on my end of year lists and I want to take a moment to give a little shout out to the online tools I use to keep track of all of the concerts I attend and books I read.  So, thank you Concert Archives and Goodreads for making it easy to monitor my hobbies and help provide a sense of community around the things I enjoy.  I’m now sifting through my 220 concerts and 125 books to come up with the Best Of for 2023…
