O Positive, Paradise Rock Club, 8/7/08

And, last but not least, the final coincidence of this trip was that a band I had liked many years ago (actually multiple decades ago), O Positive, would also be playing at the Paradise Club. I first learned of them when I went on a trip to Boston (first time there) in probably 1987. I met some people, one of which used to send me cassette tapes of Boston bands and other indie gems. It was probably my first exposure to “new” music. So, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to finally see them live. I feel my life has now come full circle.

They were having the rare gig in support of a friend who was in a car accident. Learn more about it on their Web site.
