In that you have described a deeper musical appreciation than many appear to have, you may wish to take note of Rob Mathes.

His is talent that transcends genre. Composer/producer; pianist/guitarist. Arranger for Sting's latest album, "The Last Ship."

Above all the man lives his Faith.

Significant understated accomplishments. I have attended his Christmas program for each of the last 18 years.

I love Martin Sexton. What a set of pipes! And his guitar playing isn’t too shabby either.

[dead]

Yeah, he's incredible. I liked your list. I haven't gotten around to seeing Hem or First Aid Kit yet. I've seen Richard Thompson a half-dozen times, always great.

And I saw Pere Ubu in a little club back in the early 80s! They were fantastic. I had no idea they were still touring. At that time Dave Thomas was pretty heavy and sweaty. I didn't think he had this long a shelf life ahead of him.

[GSWarrior]

Hem was great. First Aid Kit were okay.

A full panoply of Classical Concerts with the Kansas City Symphiny as well as their Pops concerts featuring Sheena Easton at one, then just two weeks ago, say The Texas Temors in Concert.

[folkquest]

I saw the Eagles (the band not the football team) at Madison Square Garden. Awesome show!

[Yaelle]

Just System of a Down at the Hollywood Bowl. Awesome. I’ve never heard MORE people singing along to everything in my life.

Check out Il Divo, the four guys that Simon Cowell put together. Beautiful operatic voices and they sing pop songs, among others, have a wonderful sound and aren’t bad to look at. My daughter and I have been to two of their concerts and plan to go to St. Louis in April to the Peabody Opera House to see them again. They have never disappointed us.

Give me time and I may recall more

Some of the classic performers from the past are still around doing concerts. But, I agree, music, as well as many other things, including most of the TV shows, have dropped like a stone over the past few decades, quality speaking. Even the cartoons suck today. Automobiles all now resemble European imports. Give me the 50s, 60s and 70s.

The culture has been subverted by socially retarded liberals.

They no longer create. They re-create or re-cast or re-imagine.

Reboot comics, reboot movie franchises, adapt movies for Broadway, cover albums, etc.

And I saw Pere Ubu in a little club back in the early 80s! They were fantastic. I had no idea they were still touring. At that time Dave Thomas was pretty heavy and sweaty. I didn't think he had this long a shelf life ahead of him.

I saw Dave Thomas and Cheetah Chrome in a Rocket From The Tombs revival a few years back. I heard rumors of another one but then nothing.

[GSWarrior]

I don’t understand why Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings don’t own the world.
