This initial encounter with live music had a significant impact on him. The massive crowd, the smoke hanging in the air, the sudden darkness of the arena followed by the bright lights of the stage, singing along to familiar songs, the body-vibrating sounds, and the eventual encore supported by a sea of cigarette lighters\u2013this ignited Charles\u2019 passion for live music. <br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As Charles puts it: &#8220;Going to concerts with my friends was always an adventure. Simply buying a ticket, going to the show, and then driving home was of little interest to us. We wanted more. We went to the shows early, especially the general admission ones so that we had a good chance of securing decent seats. After the shows, when most fans had returned to their cars and began waiting in an epic line of traffic, we would stay and venture to the back of the venue with the hopes of meeting the band. Maybe it was our attempt to squeeze every bit of the concertgoing experience from the show, but by taking this road less traveled, we created more interesting and unique memories.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ditxvfa elementor-shape-circle e-grid-align-left elementor-grid-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-social-icons\" data-id=\"ditxvfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"social-icons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-social-icons-wrapper elementor-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-linkedin elementor-repeater-item-4c56abe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/charleszona\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Linkedin<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-yzqcxon elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"yzqcxon\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-rrdlqfw\" data-id=\"rrdlqfw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-mfpvchu elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"mfpvchu\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/seeingthemlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Doug_DSC_4169-scaled-e1695324604707.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1186\" alt=\"Photo of Doug Florzak\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-iyqoaph\" data-id=\"iyqoaph\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efilklv elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"efilklv\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Doug Florzak<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-gccpwon elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"gccpwon\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">co-host\/producer<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ksenels elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ksenels\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Doug Florzak<\/b> is a composer, musician, and published author.
