In March I went to see Rain in Fort Wayne, and they were awesome!

I had seen them on PBS, and that's how I got meet&greet tickets to see them. When I saw them on PBS, the guy playing Paul was right handed, which was a bit odd, but they were still very good. When I saw them live, the guy who played Paul played the bass left handed, and I thought "Cool! A left handed Paul!" When he played the acoustic guitar, however, he played right handed, and I wondered about that. I talked with him after the show, and he told me that he is ambidextrous, sort of. He said he normally writes left handed, but he is a right handed musician. He said when he got the gig, however, he thought it best to play the bass left handed, to keep more in character, but he's not good enough yet to play acoustic guitar left handed. He said he was working on it, but I would imagine that will take time to master. I, for one, am glad he played Yesterday and Blackbird right handed and well, rather than left handed and poorly. All in all, it was a great show. This month, I plan on seeing another Beatles Tribute called Revolution. I've been told that they are good. The price of the tickets is much lower than what I payed for Rain, and if they are as good as my friend says, then it will have been a steal!
