Just kidding, Jim, kinda. Jim emails us from R 'n R Heaven South:
The ultimate "old fart" destination. Just north of Orlando is a place called "The Villages" , an over 55 retirement community. An "ACTIVE" community puts it mildly. They have almost 100,000 residents and activities abound. They even have their own 1000 seat softball "stadium"!!!!! But my favorite part of the villages is "Katie Belles" - a fantastic private restaurant, that seats about 400 and is for Villages residents only. Once a month "Rocky & The Rollers" play at this venue. This is an oldies premier rock n roll band. They are Bowser Bauman's "Rock N Roll Party" concert band. The Rollers have played all over the world. I met them many years ago when we were both performing at 'Little Darlins Rock N Roll Palace" in Kissimmee, Florida. One of my good friends in the rock n roll world is John Wagner, of "The Diamonds" (Little Darlin, The Stroll, etc.), will be our guest this evening at Katie Belles. We will be asked at some point in the evening to sing a couple of songs with The Rollers. (Lets hope the crowd has had enough Budweisers). The Villages is becoming our second home. This Wednesday night, we will journey back to The Villages to their elite concert center to see another good friend, Johnny Thunder (Loop DE Loop) and "The Duke of Earl"- Gene Chandler. If you like our music, then this is the place to be. Yes sir - Rock N Roll Heaven does exist - and it is "alive" and well at The Villages, in Florida!
