Memorial Day 2009 Scera Shell




In the evening Leslie and I went into Orem to the Scera Shell Outdoor Theater to see a tribute band called “Staying Alive”. I was up for a night of pain. Tribute bands can be really cheap imitations, but this was a major exception. These guys nailed everything. They were every bit as good “live” as the recordings. Their harmonies were magnificent and the entire show was wonderful. I have never been a disco fan but have to admit that after forty years of hearing the Bee Gees music it has a place in my life. This band was amazing, their falsetto vocal match along with the authentic look of Joe Varga, Todd Sharman and Tony Mattina took back memories of John Travolta, Olivia Newton John and the entire “Grease” time period. It was a wonderful night and the conclusion to a very blessed day.

Yakity was kicked back in the back yard the last time I saw him, feet up kicking back, but he is a “free range” penguin. I was told he is making a trip to Lake Powell this summer. I hope he gets some trunks first.
