"Uncle" Glenn Hughes, Damien DeSimone

On Friday, August 21st, and Saturday, August 22nd, 1998, I attended the Tommy Bolin Tribute Concert in Denver, Colorado. Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting up with my friend and fellow CTC editor Lewis Beard (see my review in CTC #29). This year, I went alone, but I met many CTC'ers along the way; some that I met last year, and some new faces as well. Everyone was cool. The Tommy Bolin Archives had several events planned throughout the weekend, including a band rehearsal and "dress rehearsal" concert at the Bug Performance & Media Art Center on Friday, and a meet-and-greet with the musicians and the main concert at the Bluebird Theater on Saturday. Read my full review in CTC #35!
