I suppose it will never be a word either, but the discopgraphy means a collection of music and there was no clear choice for all the concerts I’ve enjoyed over the years. This all came about because I saw a local blogger who decided to publish a list of all of the major-talent concerts he has ever seen and thought it was a great idea for my own blog.
Funny though. The more I tried to gather all of these episodes in my mind, it has become clear to me that my age is warping my sense of time and memories. It’s really been a chore to dig some of these experiences out of the past, but it may take me a long time to put this together. That’s not such a bad thing because I’ll keep adding to the list as the living permits;
