I drove up from Long Island to my daughter’s house, just south of Boston, to go with her to see Graham Nash with Judy Collins at the Boch Center in Boston. Graham Nash and Judy Collins were only playing together on two dates of Nash’s tour, this one and a concert at Carnegie Hall. I left the Ford Explorer at home (I usually take the truck on the road trips) and drove my Cadillac north to Massachusetts. I picked up my daughter and we headed further north on the highway toward the show. I was taking it nice and easy in the right hand lane chatting with her when out of nowhere my car was being pushed to the right toward a metal divider. I looked up to my left and all I could see was the middle of a white coach bus that was nudging me out of the right lane toward the divider. Thankfully at some point the bus driver realized he had collided with my car, we disengaged and I followed him off of the next exit. I got out of my car while beneath the highway overpass fully expecting my car to be demolished but thankfully it was drivable (and eventually repaired back on Long Island). After exchanging information with the bus driver, and thankfully with no one injured, I suggested that we endeavor to make the show, and my daughter somewhat reluctantly agreed. We were late but unbelievably located a parking spot on the street near the theatre and found our way in to out 5th tow left center orchestra seats during the intermission. We missed Judy Collins (with Nash joining her on stage) but saw the entire Graham Nash set where he was backed by a young talented band and he interspersed great stories between songs (and thankfully except for a brief Kamala Harris approval comment, no politics). Graham’s voice is a bit more ragged, none of us are getting any younger, but it was an enjoyable concert and I am glad we managed to get there in one piece.

Rock on!
