Great group. When I was a member of the "Vogues" we worked with the Drifters many times. Like so many 50-60's vocal groups, there were a few versions floating around, each with one or two original members.

In fact I am listening to XM Radio right now, the Classic R & B station...

How about the Trailer Park Troubadours! A little off the wall but I think it could work.

The Troubs have catchy music that you can dance to. If there's one thing the WBCCI members like to do it's dance - all ages. If it wasn't for the older generation dancing up a storm at the Nightstreamers party it would have been a mediocre attendance. There was an 80+ couple that danced all night - 2 hours straight. When Danielle and I spoke to them briefly we quickly realized they wanted to get back to dancing. Must have been something in the water in Perry.

I spoke to the incoming WBCCI president and told him that I would like to send comments/suggestions from a first-timers point of view. He was receptive to the idea so I'll plan to get something to him in the next few weeks.

Danielle and I were brainstorming last night (at the rally) with several other WBCCI members - one of the thoughts was to have the Trailer Park Troubadours play the rally. It's out there... way out there, I know. But it doesn't hurt to ask. I sent an email to the Troubadours booking agent - I'll let you know the response.

Lucius,

The Troubs have played at the Airstream Homecoming, twice I believe. I think that they would be great, another group is ShaNaNa, the older members here might remember their television show. Fabulous 50's doowop.

We are so old... When we went to school there WAS no history!!!!!

I guess my recommendation of maybe some Hank Snow, Webb Pierce, Johnny Horton and Wanda Jackson wouldn't go over to well with this crowd. Dang. I remember hearing them sing on that there radidio when I was a youngster.

Oh well, back to reality I guess. Boy, with the songs and groups you guys are talking about I'm starting to feel like a youngster. Keep it up please and next thing you know I'll have hair again.....
