Some of my favourite memories are of concerts where I did not know much or any of the performers' music going in, and where I pledged to buy their entire catalog on my way out. The most striking example of this would be the Sam Bush Band, whom I first saw in 2002 at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. I had never heard of Sam Bush, and had no expectations whatsoever. By the end of the night, after having my mind blown wide open, I was a die-hard fan of progressive bluegrass, and as a direct result, I have bought a huge pile of CDs and LPs, not to mention travelled many thousands of kilometers for concerts.
