Al DiMeola At The Coach House

Chances are the remaining tickets are gone.
And this is Al's one and only California date this year.

$25?
Yeah, I'm going.

For reference - he was my teacher in 1973-1974 until he returned to Berklee to teach at the age of nineteen.
When I went to see Return To Forever at Carnegie Hall in 1977, I tried to get back stage but was turned away.
I was walking away dejected when I was grabbed by my wrist...by Al's Mother .
"Let's go see Al!"

I had spent a lot of time with her waiting for Al to return from rehearsals in NYC.
She fed me as any good Mother would.

I wonder if I can get backstage tonight?
You know I will be trying.

If you can find a ticket, grab it.

See you there.
