The Heart of Rock and Roll is still beating

  We started July off right. I got to see one of my heroes in concert for the first time in a decade. Kath and Diana and i packed up the car and drove to Artpark in Lewiston New York to see Huey Lewis And The News. I've been a big fan of the band since 1984 and the Power Of Love is probably my favorite song of all time. One of the first concerts i got to go to was Huey Lewis in Toronto in 1985 when i was 15 years old. Twenty seven years later i was taking my daughter to one of her first concerts and it was gonna be Huey. It was a proud moment.

  I was at artpark last year with Rob to see cheap trick. It is a really nice venue. There was an opening act. Everytime the opening act finished a song Diana would ask--is this Huey Lewis now?

The News  started their set around 8 and they covered their whole discography. For a 62 year old singer he still really rocked hard. The band played for 2 hours. The best part was  we only had to pay 5 bucks a piece. It was awesome. Diana seemed to have a good time as well. Such an awesome night. In closing here is the setlist from the show.
