The Sheldon Concert Hall
St. Louis, MO
Center Section, Row A, Seat 6
$40

I don't have too much to say about this one. We bought tickets ages ago, back in August 2006 for this show. Roy wanted to go. I had never heard of either of them. John Williams is a famous classical guitarist, and John Etheridge is a jazz and rock guitarist who used to play with Soft Machine.

The Sheldon is a nice place for concerts. It's very close to the Fox Theater in the Grand Center midtown neighborhood near St. Louis University. It has great acoustics, and it is attached to a free art gallery. Nice atmosphere for going to a show. We got there early enough to have dinner at Vito's and take a look at the gallery.

The music was very pretty and Etheridge had a dry sense of humor in his stage announcements. But this was my 4th concert in 6 days, only three days after getting home from a long trip. I was tempted not to go, and I was too tired to really listen to it properly.
