Every one in the house was singing along throughout the whole evening. The cast said, "We hope you all remember these songs.. we don't!" I can so relate.. when my daughter, now 33, and her high school 'home girls' were at our house, I asked them what they considered "Classical Music".. they all said "the Beatles." Yikes! what a culture span! Anjelica was brought up on all of these songs..
For 30 years I played on stage in Florida, The Poconos and Salt Lake and then back to Florida, to Orlando where I was with a Polynesian group (their cover music was sure different than our regular Country-Rock, yes?
All those years, we spent hour up on hour to keep running our cassette players back and back again to get the words to the songs we heard the other night. Yeah, we were certainly Old School.. but it was the ONLY school we knew at that time.
These Kids, yeah, I can call them kids, since I'm over twice their age.. rocked it like they knew what they were doing. And with Vic's help they reigned supreme. Vic was so careful with the once inflammatory music that was thriving during the War in Viet Nam. His gentle care in recognition of the Veterans in the audiences just proves the wonder of Victor Legarreta.
The cast was amazing. So funny during songs like "It's my Party" , "Leader of the Pack" and so many other cute songs that we used to sing in our living rooms with our girl friends, begging the Universe for our very own Leaders of the Pack. Yeah, Poodle Skirts, sweaters, pony tails. All of it. Honor for our 'ancient ages' was perfect and spot-on. The Vocals are breath-taking. Trust me.
And someone I DO NOT want to forget is my friend, Jayar Garcia. As extremely busy Stage Manager for every show, they busted him out to get onto the stage and in front of the world again. He is featured in La Bamba, and Me and Bobby McGee.
You will NOT be in the wrong place at the wrong time with this Adventure.. Rock on, Ya'll ~ Bekki
Check out the Cast. Kids, YOU ROCK!!
