Try to delay as I could, my wife insisted on having our first child around the time of this concert ( Rochester, MI, near Detroit.) I tucked her in at the hospital, made arrangements with the nurses and went off to the concert. Luckily, I was only 20 minutes from the hospital and had a pager on. Although I felt guilty, I still greatly enjoyed the concert and my wife did not have our baby until late the next day, so I really didn't miss anything. She reluctantly understood that with BF infrequent tours, one can not let one slip away. As it tunrns out, BN is one of my favoriite albums and missing this tour would have been very unfortunate. I made it up to my wife and took her to the concert, Mamounaconcert tour.
