What was the first concert you ever attended?

My first meaningful concert was U2, Joshua Tree tour, May 1987, Brendan Byrne Arena, New Jersey. I was in high school, our seats were behind the stage and we were just happy to be in the building.

You can go back in time and see any concert. Whom would you see and when?

The No Nukes concerts at MSG, Sept. 21-22, 1979.

Describe your all-time-favorite photo, memento or tchotchke from your job. A cherry-red 1958 Gibson 335 gifted to me by Zac Brown. Incredibly generous, and I’m still stunned and beyond grateful to this day.
