	01-25-08	Bowfire	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
"Virtuosity in the Hands of Masters" Great high energy show with 11 string masters covering all fields. CD worthy.
	02-14-08	Old Springs Pike	Baby Grand	Wilmington, DE
Upbeat, fun, local band hopefully on the verge of the big time.
	03-07-08	Philadelphia Orchestra	Trabant Theatre	Newark, DE
Performed Carmina Burana via Internet2. Promising technology allowed remote viewing of real time performance. HD video and Dolby audio, but a few technical glitches forced a reboot, so not exactly like being there, but certainly convenient.
	03-19-08	Leahy	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
Fiddlin' family affair. CD worthy.
	04-03-08	Joan Baez	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
This is the second time we have seen her while she was unwell. She had canceled the previous few nights, and informed the band after the first number that there were certain songs that wouldn't be performed this night. Her warm personality still shown through, but it would be nice to see her in top form some day.
	04-19-08	iMusic	Mitchell Hall	Newark, DE
UD's pride and joy, Xiang Gao's multimedia extravaganza that would become a must-see annual tradition.
Photo	07-24-08	NOT The Messiah! (He's A Very Naughty Boy)	Wolf Trap	Vienna, VA
Eric Idle gives the Spamalot treatment to Life of Brian. A comic oratorio with the National Symphony Orchestra, choir, sheep, bagpipes and leafblower. NPR story and AP interview. Always look on the bright side of life
Photo	09-23-08	Julie Fowlis	Baby Grand	Wilmington, DE
Didn't know her going in, but thoroughly enjoyed her renditions of Scottish Gaelic tunes. Keeping the traditions alive with tunes like "Hùg Air A' Bhonaid Mhòir"
	10-03-08	Jenny Lewis, w/ Deer Tick, Michael Runion	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
Did not know her well, but enjoyed her great range of styles. Especially liked Rise Up With Fists!!
Photo	10-15-08	East Village Opera Company	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
Combining the pomposities of classic rock and opera, led to some spectacular successes as well as unlistenable failures. They need to cut back on the excesses of screaming guitars and manufactured sexual tension
Photo	11-06-08	Taj Mahal Trio	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
Hadn't seen him since 1985. Has added some Hawaiian music to his repertoire, but still cranks out the good old basic country blues tunes.
	11-09-08	George Winston	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
The mellow New Age pioneer performed many of his "hits" including "Thanksgiving". Enjoy him at home on a mellow evening, but in person it was a snooze.
	11-17-08	Shelby Lynne	Baby Grand	Wilmington, DE
She covered a good range of styles from country to blues to pop. Barbara couldn't make this one, so Gautier Landrot went in her place.
	12-03-08	David Byrne Songs of Brian Eno	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
Still a consumate showman, inventive and original after all these years.
