Another one from Gary's band...

I remember the first one. As I was watching the lead singer in the second one, I was thinking, he doesn't look much like Jerry. So, I looked it up. He was the drummer.

The Happenings sing "I Got Rhythm!"

I thought this one sounded familiar. I knew the song from watching old movies with my dad.

Did any of you happen to be watching the Smothers Brothers show when this happened?

OK I just have to ask. Did you and your band dress up in suits, costumes, or jeans and t-shirts?

======
We all had dark blue suits with thin gold pin stripping, boots, and a tie. Back in the day, looking professional was in. Wearing T-shirts, sweaty muscle shirts, torn up blue jeans and tennis shoes had not yet become acceptable.

I was, it was shocking at first, then funny

You are welcome! Seems I tapped into a niche for several people. Who'd a thunk it? I wish my title was named better.

Wow! 50th? I have only gone to my 10th. I just grew apart, I guess. I have had no interest in attending any since. 2021 would be my 40th.

So............. it would appear that SD51 is two years older than I.

I thought you might have wore suits.

We have been to the Rhyman and there were some stage costumes on display. I was surprised at how home made looking they were. You couldn't see the details on TV back then.

Yes, back then tv was not very detailed, now days with HD............. look out.
