JUST LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY - THEY KEEP GOING

Friday night in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, we went to a concert featuring Billy Joe Royal and B.J Thomas. They have both been performing more than 30 years and I think I expected a less-than- spectacular show given the age of the performers , the age of the band members, their voices, etc. Brother, was I dead wrong ! I don't believe they have changed a bit ! Two of the band members have been there 24 and 30 years respectively and after performing individually some of their most popular hits, B.J. and Billy Joe sang together and it was awesome !

I love going to a concert where I recognize most of the songs and I think I knew all but two out of at least 30 selections: Here were some of my personal favorites:

"Cherry Hill Park", "Tell It Like it Is", "Hush", and "Down In The Boondocks "- sung by Billy Joe Royal

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", "I Just Can't Help Believin'", "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", "You're the One", and "Mighty Clouds of Joy" sung by B.J. Thomas.

I certainly enjoyed the music but I also got some satisfaction out of knowing that a person over 60 years old can still give you goose bumps !
