Woohoo!
Tonight, in the balcony of the Lucas Theatre, we had our own dance party going on at The DooWop & Rock Festival!
Rather, I tried to encourage everyone to dance!
I certainly danced to almost every song!!!
I sure do enjoy being an usher here!
(Thanks, Shea and Joe B!)
Yes, indeed, tonight's show, the first of a two-day stand for the festival, featured groups Mama would have loved to hear. She and I danced to their music when I was growing up.
The Archies.
The Buckinghams.
The Coasters.
The Shirelles.
Wow!
And start it he did!
He entered the stage clad in a white jacket,
but soon jettisoned that encumbrance to reveal
his trademark dark shirt and black leather pants...
very nice!
"I Want Candy" was his lead song,
making us "Glad All Over"
and craving more "Sugar, Sugar"!
So much fun!
At 72, the former Miss Owens showed she can still kick out the jams!
"Mama Said" there'd be shows like this!
"Baby, It's You" for this "Foolish Little Girl"!
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow"?
You know I will!
Right down to your "Blue Suede Shoes", you sweet "Hound Dog".
(smile!)
No need for "Searchin'" anymore, y'all!
"Youngblood" and "Charlie Brown" were right here in Savannah, not on "Blueberry Hill"!
They brought along "16 Tons" to lift us "Higher and Higher" with their sweet "Yakety-Yak"!
Oh, yeah!
"Don't You Care" about Dennis Tufano?
Yes, yes, I certainly do!
He's such a tall, cool one, so silky smooth.
Just listen to that voice...
"Hey Baby, They're Playing Our Song"!
That "Dream Lover"
can dance with this "Queen of the Hop"
until it's time to "Splish Splash"!
"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy"!
And, as if all of that wasn't enough, they were all onstage at the end, granting us a beautiful "Good night, Sweetheart".
Nice! They love us, too!
Time for me to float on to bed for some sweet dreams...
