I have just found out that Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Steve Winwood will be playing at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio (just South of Cleveland) on June 22nd! Shari and I are planning on going.

Here is one link to tickets:

Looking on Tom's website they have a show on the 21st in NY, so I guess they couldn't make RIO!!! :(

I noticed that the Ohio Summer Guitar Show in Columbus is scheduled for Sunday June 22, 2008. That is going to be a busy weekend in Ohio.

Hmm, I didn't know that! The drive down to Columbus is not bad, so Ricks on Saturday and everything else on Sunday. 8)
