Concert Musings by the Cosmic Chef

About the Book

Hopefully, some of these concerts are as memorable to others as they are to me. Just to jog a memory of good times is a relief. Though not all pictures are as good as others, I hope to remind you that music makes the world go round and a picture really is worth a thousand words.
