Both Sides Now

I get so frustrated with individuals and organizations which only lists or publish part of an idea or need for their product. I've noticed lately on television and some in the printed media where the cost of items of gotten so astronomical that instead of listing the price of an item they list the monthly payments or how much the price is been reduced as an enticement for seekers to delve deeper into their purchase commitment.

Earlier this week I noted with interest that Judy Collins was going to be in concert here in Salt Lake tomorrow, Saturday the 11^th day of March.. And I was intrigued by the name. “Judy Collins” sign out in my mind like a signpost pointing me back to the 60s and early 70s.. To me, there is nothing more powerful ability to do time displacement or time travel as music. When I think that Judy CollinsI immediately think of her hit Both Sides Now. Both Sides Now Was one of those pieces of music that was always running in the background when it was popular. I don't think I appreciated the peace as much as I did later in the piece was mentioned by Tom Hanks in the movie ,You Got Mail. Where Hanks talks about the song. I watched the movie a couple times a year if not more so sounds always on my mind now when I saw that Ms. Collins would be in town this weekend and Saturday night tonight that I don't have staff so I don't have to do my process I toyed with the idea why not go to a concert even if the events downtown and I would have to depend on public transit of one sort or another to go and get back. Going of course to be no problem is that getting `it's a little dicey for me and bus routes close After Dark. I would even consider takin bus route like 200 or the 201 which I know runs late and then taking a cab from the hospital to my apartment complex. The price of a cab would cost less than it cost me to go to the dentist couple months ago and I could handle at no problem. So just to be curious I went to the Internet and finding “Judy Collins” was easy enough but then I was taken on a circuitous routebbase landing eventually on her website. I want to find out what the cost of the ticket would be.. The concerts can be a high-end joint downtown called Abravenal Hall. I figured the ticket to be expensive but I is one no. I could not find the price of tickets nor could I find Abravenal Hall. I thought maybe if I went to the Hall itself I could find prices there along with seating. But every time I got there I would be taken back to the Judy Collins website which became quickly annoying if not frustrated. I suppose if I click “purchase tickets” I might be able to get a pricing option when they want to see my Visa card but that's just too spooky.

This morning I briefly tried again and this time I actually went to YouTube and actually listen to really the only two pieces of her songbook I've ever known and certainly I didn't need to go to the concert. I got my fill of Judy Collinsspace and that was enough. I'm still wondering about the adventure of taking the bus downtown to the the gala of the concert at the Abravenal.

So tomorrow night rather than getting dressed and doing the town I will be home watching You Got Mail and thinking about ice cream castles in the sky”
