Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	Anyone remember Gary Puckett and the Union Gap from the 70s? We just saw him at the American Pavillion in Epcot at Disneyworld (without the Union Gap). I was never a big fan of his but my husband wanted to sit and listen to him so we did. I was bored until he started singing some early 60s stuff. Then I was in my glory. We also saw the group, Orleans. They sang Dance With Me. It was the only one of theirs I really remembered. We just missed the Lovin' Spoonfuls. They were there the week before. Louisa

That's because of the nostalgia thing being so big. People enjoy being brought back to their youth. I want to be the Beach Boys of the literary world. Louisa

They were AWESOME !! Quite often the PBS station will have the older groups in concert. Check out this link and you should be able to get the schedule for all the featured artist. http://www.pbs.org/wttw/soundstage/featured.htm

I know, it's only rock and roll.....? The writer mentioned Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Stevie Nicks, and Chicago as entertainers who are returning on tour.

Since the shop wasn't opened yet, I had to open it and take her in. I wanted to make sure she got the book. She mentioned the movie Picnic - an old Kim Novak movie. Nostalgia is in big time right now. Not only old groups, but singers who would otherwise be nowhere now are on tour with our music. There is an audience for it. Us. Louisa

It may not be to the fore front than all of a sudden it is once again. Lets face it we had the best music in those years and once heard by the new generations (the sane ones) they love it too..Because it can't be beat....

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Gary Puckett...wow, old memories! I "permanently borrowed" my older brother's Gary Puckett LP way back in the 60's. I still have that record somewhere in the house. I hope my brother isn't still looking for it. He's got my Neil Diamond Hot August Night album. Maybe one of these days we'll do a tradesies. My youngest brother and I used to listen to the Moody Blues for hours. Between the two of us we had every album they ever made. Now we just have a few favourites on CD and he has their reunion DVD. It's still beautiful music, especially with the full orchestra behind them. [ May 23, 2005, 08:34 PM: Message edited by: Eagle Heart ]

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	What was up with Gary Puckett anyway, with "Young girl get out of my mind> My love for you is way out of line..." and I think there was another song with similar lyrics. At the time, it didn't seem so outrageous when I was a teenager. But, man -- these days he'd have all sorts of groups out to get him for pedophilia or something, wouldn't he?
