I've seen Springsteen at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. I've attended the Oscars in Los Angeles. And now I can happily say I've been to the MAMAs in Modesto.

The Modesto Area Music Association's annual awards show was held last evening at The State Theatre, and it was a big deal. This was the 10th go-round for the awards, the brainchild of music fans and promoters Chris Murphy and Chris Ricci. They packed The State with a lively crowd and strong lineup of acts.

Bee Publisher Eric Johnston and I each were privileged to present awards at last night's show, and I'm already hoping for a return gig in 2010.In the meantime, if you like your music local and live, consider supporting the MAMA.

You and Eric Johnston were presenters? That's waaaay cool. Did you tell them you can play the guitar? Hey everyone, did you know that Dan can play Led Zeppelin's "Whole lotta love"? That's not an easy thing to do. Whole lotta love.

I am old enough to remember the BAMMIES and how much fun they were to attend...think that will ever happen?
