Every once in awhile, you get the opportunity to attend something special, emotional and lasting. Last week I attended the 19th Annual Music Master Awards/ Conference/Tribute Concert for The Everly Brothers. I will cherish and remember the conference but especially the concert forever.

The concert was held at the Playhouse Square 's State Theatre. Opened in 1921, this 3400 seat Italian Renaissance…
