"MUSIC" (Singing, Dancing, Playing, Instruments, iPods, Concerts,...)

I can't take any credit for these pictures.

They all came from Echo's blog.

But it does have to do with music and

with one of my favorite singers, Michael Buble'

These cousins of mine went to see Michael Buble two years ago.

They had no idea that I loved him so much until after they had already gotten tickets.

When they got to the concert there was an empty seat right beside them all night that I could have sat in and to prove it they took a picture of what could have been my seat.

Oh, boo hoo!

But I let them know that if they ever went again they had better take me with them!!
And they did!!!

And he was Yummy!!

And he so reminds me of the old crooners of the 50's and the 60's.

We saw his Crazy Love tour.

And I had a blast with the cousins!

It was very nice of them to take the old lady with them.

Thank you again, ladies.

And at the last minute they were wishing that we could have taken their SIL, Courtney with us too. She would have loved it!

And there was even an empty seat she could have sat in!!

Next time Courtney, next time!

Harry took me to see my 3rd concert in the Florida Theater in Jacksonville, FL.

Music Monday

Hall and Oates

Hall & Oates are a music duo made up of Daryl Hall and John Oates. The act achieved its greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s. They specialized in a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul." They are best known for their six #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch." I also loved "Sara Smile" and "Kiss On My List"

Harry took me to the 2nd concert

I ever saw. It was after we were

married and my brother,

"Barney's Friend Chris",

also went with us to see it.

I believe it was in the

Jacksonville Coliseum.

It was a wonderful concert.

I loved all their music

back then and listening to it

now brings back fun memories.

I can't really pick a favorite song.

Only thing, their lead guitarist,
G.E.Smith scared me to death.

I swear he looked like an

Axe Murder! I could hardly keep

my mind on the music for

looking at him. He was so scary!

He later was the musical director of

Saturday Night Live.

He was good but scary to look at!

Any who...

For your viewing and listening pleasure!!!!

Hall and Oates!

Music Monday

The first concert I ever went to was in my first year of college 1975/76.

By concert I mean one that I had to

buy a ticket to attend.

It was in Rexburg, Idaho.

I went with my BFF Cousin, Dottie.

I remember practically dancing

to the whole concert right in front

of my seat. They were so HOT and

we really 'shook our booty's.'

They are still doing a few concerts and

they have such great dance music.

One thing about their songs is that

they only have one or two lines

so you knew every word to

their songs after listening to it once.

Their most well known songs include the disco hits " That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Get Down Tonight", "Give It Up", and "Please Don't Go".

KC & The Sunshine Band is still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced onto the music scene 36 years ago.

Now turn your sound up

and put on your boogie shoes

and enjoy!

I dare you not to 'shake your booty'!

And now for your viewing

and listening pleasure

KC and The Sunshine Band!



Happy Monday
