The Happy together tour

We went to a concert with our friends the Muellers on the 9th of July at the Sandy amphitheater.
The name of the concert was the Happy Together and it was a collection of several top singers of the 60's. As you can imagine they are a little older now as well as the group that came together that night to listen to them. The singers were in their 60's and early 70's just like most of the audience but it was sure fun.

First it was Gary Lewis of Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Top song -This Diamond Ring. Other claim to fame- His dad was comedian Jerry Lewis.

After two and a half hours of rockers.... oh wait that was rock and roll, the show came to an end. It was great and the kids weren't around to say "Dad change the channel". Oh to be back in the 60's. Wait two more years and I will be in the 60's!
