    1. Hey, thanks for your kind words and for visiting. I don't think it's an age think at all, I think it's more about bands like The Bronx not getting the air time or coverage they deserve. I hope you liked them.

  2. I listen to all types of music, so it's not age for me. I just know that I'm too old to attend such a concert. (Some kid will knock this old lady down.) If I'm going to listen to this, it will be on my iPod. (Oh, and I'm not sure why 30 is the magic number for you. I didn't really start living until I turned 40. Life actually gets better after 30.)

    1. Hey Jolie, thanks for your reassurance about life after 30! I'm sure it won't be too bad, it just seems a pretty scary place to be headed for a girl who still thinks she's about 21 lol. I'm sure I'll be making another list for my 39th year too.

  4. I'm betting I'm dating myself here, but I hadn't heard of The Bronx as a band before. I was confused when I first started reading!

    1. Hi Shannon, thanks for visiting and for your comment. Yeah, The Bronx like to confuse people, as they're actually from LA. You might be more familiar with their other band - Mariachi el Bronx. I hear they're doing pretty well in the States.
