I've been through Michigan. I think the UP in Winter would be interesting.

Sounds wonderful Steve

What concert did you go to?

We went to see Cheap Trick. Do you know of them in Australia?

You seem like the kind of guy who owns a pair of black and white checkered shoes, too

Well....no, but I do have Cheap Trick checkerboard story...

Back when I was fresh out of high school, some friends and I started up a band. While shopping for a PA system, we came across a used speaker cabinet in a Madison, WI music store. It had once belonged to Cheap Trick and still had the checkerboard design and "broken typewriter" logo stenciled on the side to prove it. We probably would've have bought it, except for the fact that every speaker in the cabinet (4 of them) was blown. The guy at the store said it was an "as is" item, so we passed on it.

American Pickers had an episode that featured Rick Nielsen where they bought a bunch of his memorabilia.

Yes, I used to love Cheap Trick when I was growing up Steve

Good to hear they are still doing gigs!
