It was an ordinary day. Thursday evening and my wife, Carol, and I are out on a date at Woodcrest Villa where we live! We had parked the car and headed into Gamber Auditorium for a show that was put on by The Kracker Beez, a local rock band that featured tunes from the 60's and 70's! The show was listed as a "Summer Solstice Swingin' Sixties Celebration." It was meant to be held on the Plaza which is on the upper outdoor level, but due to bad air quality, was transferred into the Auditorium. We entered and found folding chairs as well as free non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Before long the band began and the excitement elevated a notch or two (if at all possible). The band was great with a lead guitarist, a bass guitarist and a female drummer. All three were great vocalists! They were on the elevated stage and easy to hear and see. Real easy! And...I certainly wouldn't have needed my hearing aides! Brought back memories from high school when my friends and I would take in a rock concert somewhere in the local area. Quite a few people headed to the open space next to the stage to dance. Once again, it reminded me of high school where the girls dominated the dance floor. After an hour-and-a-half you could see that many in attendance were beginning to dance slower, or look for a place to sit. Before long the band thanked the crowd and packed up their guitars and drums. Everyone seemed to have had a great time! Can hardly wait until they return! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
