The Palace of Auburn Hills, Mi._1994

My dream came true on May 19, 1994; my bff scored tickets for Barbra The Concert. They were sold out in one hour. Jackie Onassis died the day I saw her (May 19) ; Barbra dedicated the concert in memory of her. She did 3 dates at The Palace..May 15, 17, & 19. She explained that it was a sentimental night for her; it was her first professional gig outside of New York (1961) when she appeared in a small room; then she revealed the owner of The Palace was the owner of that room. She came full circle that evening. Barbra was amazing and well received.

I attended that concert and it was an absolute privilege to be alive at the same time as she--to be able to witness that. I woke up the next morning feeling "high" from what I heard. I felt like it was one of the most significant moments in my life--one of those after which you think, "O.K., now I can die."
