Something for everyone, considering he does his fun 60's hits like "Calendar Girl" and "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" as well as Seventies stuff like "Laughter In The Rain" and the ballad version of "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." He even threw in a classical piano piece. His voice is still all there and he was pretty funny too. Definitely one for your list, Steve!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-55520049994579427972010-05-20T12:23:59.917-07:002010-05-20T12:23:59.917-07:00These oldies acts exist here because that's a ...These oldies acts exist here because that's a lot of retirees here and in the nearest communities. That's pretty much it.<br /><br />I'm not sure how much money they make for the resorts, though the Boyd group in particular does aim toward the blue-haired crowd.<br /><br />I was at the age where I remember when these guys were on TV, and yeah I thought The Yo-Man was pretty cool when I was give years old, but when you retire that far removed from the spotlight it means you either didn't know of your own irrelvance or (in the Smothers case) you simply didn't care.mike_chnoreply@blogger.com
