I know that most people who are reading this blog are big live music fans, and cannot wait to see live concerts again. I have some good news. You can go to a concert next Friday night, May 15, 2020. The bad news is it is in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a concert by Travis McCready of Bishop Gunn, who I believe is a country and western artist. It is at a venue called Temple Live. There are only seats in every other row, and the pit is closed off. How’s that for social distancing? That’s your live show listing for May 15, 2020 given seven days in advance so you all have a week to schlep out to Fort Smith, Arkansas, book an airline flight and a hotel room, unless you want to camp out there.
