We are going to be getting rain from whats left of Isaac but it looks like it will hold off until tonight. We actually need the rain here we are 8" below normal totals for the time of the year.

Zandron, glad someone else was willing to step up to the plate. Dontcha just love high-tech?

I'm still singing Three Dog Night Songs this morning. It's so easy to forget the huge collection of musical talent that came together in these bands and TDN is no different.

The crowd, about 2,000 strong, with a few exceptions (my Nephew, his Daughter and a handful of others), were all OF - and were in a concert going mood. Before the concert started, a handful of singable classic rock songs were piped though the audio system and the concert goers were already singing and dancing. Fun is NOT overrated.

The Band, comprised of most of the original members, was little gray and a few pounds heavier, sounded great both vocally and instrumentally. They played one set that was just under 2 hours.

Concert goers were singing along and dancing thoughout the show; even the ushers, also OFs, were rocking out.

They played a lot of their hits, of couple of songs from back in the day that didn't chart but were recognizeable by the fans and some newer stuff. They played an extended version of "Joy to the World." Mid-way through the song, the band members donned baseball caps and changed it up to a hip-hop song; it was hilarious and the crowd was screaming with laughter. They reverted back to real rock to finish the song.

My cellphone pics turned out crappy; I'm hoping the ones my nephew took rned out. I'll post some as soon as he emails them to me.

Here are some youtube vids I found this morning. The first is a new number called "Prayer of the Children" an acapella song that really showcases the amazing vocal talent of the band; the second, a high quality clip of "Liar" from 1970; The lead guitarist in the vid with the crazy fingers is still at it! I hope you enjoy them.
