I won tickets to a concert. It was called, Alan Freed’s Big Beat show at the I.M.A. auditorium in Flint, Michigan, on April 13, 1958. The show featured 17 top attractions, including some of rock and roll’s biggest stars: Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, The Diamonds, Frankie Lymon, the Crickets featuring Buddy Holly, Shirley and Lee, the Big Bopper and several others. (I hope I didn’t forget nor add any act.)

I also took my two daughters to their first concert at Pine Knobb. It was the first concert at that venue and featured David Cassidy. They each got to bring a friend.

(We were way up in front.)
