So I just got back from the clinic... it wasn't my blood pressure...
Honestly, I totally freaked out because I'd been reading all these horror stories online. I spent half an hour just staring at the monitor waiting for something to go wrong, but in the end, everything was pretty much within the normal range.
The doctor told me I need to use an inhaler, apparently saying some of those tubes might be clogged up 😕

But look, my ears are still ringing like crazy. It’s been a day and a half and I haven't slept a wink because of it, man...

So, some buzzing started in my ears last night right after dinner, and here I am,
nearly 20 hours later, and the damn sound won't quit.
It’s starting to get under my skin big time—does anyone actually know what this means??
It’s fine when I’m busy, talking to someone, or blasting music, but
just sitting here typing this, I feel like jumping out a window because of how much it's driving me nuts...
Could this be from a draft or something? Just a random chill hitting me wrong???

For the record, I don't have any health issues. My blood work is perfect, my blood pressure is solid, I feel energetic and full of life, I'm not old, and my hearing is sharp despite this ringing, but still, having this constant buzzing is just garbage... 😕

That would be more than good.
Last year at the factory was lightyears better than that aquarium crap, honestly, it was even better than that legendary concert DVD in St. Louis. He played way more tunes, the sound was flawless, the setlist was spot on, and the crowd was perfect (unlike the usual trash you get at the aquarium).

I was standing up on the platform on the right side, slightly elevated, and I ended up right next to this crowd that tries to sing along to every single note he hits—it's enough to drive you insane!
What kind of idiot sings along at a show like this?
Then there's all the shouting and constant noise... just awful...

I freaking knew we’d get a crowd like that. The second you don't have seats, you automatically lose the older crowd who actually appreciates this music and the skill being shown right in front of them.
I really hope next year he plays a decent hall, like, please don't let some "Soul Cafe" type outfit book him for another damn tent.

Let me try one more time to convince you people to actually show some class!
Alright, listen up: the concert is tomorrow at 8 PM! Venue: Aquarius
Tickets $40 — grab them at the Aquarius CD shops!

What can I even say... if you miss this and then hear him play somewhere else later, you’re gonna be kicking yourself!

hmm... hold up... what?

Listen up, because I’ve got the lowdown for all you weirdos out there who just "heard" about Tommy!

Tickets go on sale this Monday at Aquarius music stores for $15, or you can grab them at the door for about $17!

Long live Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and Tommy!

And screw all of you living in total ignorance! 🙂

I was in Cleveland last night at the Mackinac Island home venue for his show. This guy is brilliant—a total DNC-certified guitarist thanks to Chet Atkins.

You HAVE to go see him.🙏

So that might mean he’s heading to Washington, D.C.! Fine by me!
The guy is probably the best living guitarist, period. I caught his show last year and he was literally legendary. I even have a few DVDs of his concerts and studio stuff, so yeah, I'm a huge fan...

Word is the D.C. show will be at the Aquarius, which was supposed to kick off yesterday with tickets already out, but nothing happened. They aren't giving out any info either—pretty arrogant if you ask me.

Has anyone here even heard of Tommy??? 😕

March 15th, obviously, for those out of the loop, but Atlantic City is still playing dumb about the tickets. They seriously should’ve kicked sales off two weeks before the show—which is actually today—but they don't have a clue what's going on (total amateur hour) 😕

Does anyone actually know anything?
