"Dandy"

First my apologies to SecretAngel. I let time get past me and did not call you. I'm sorry. Findlay really isn't that far away and once the weather is warm and stable, please let's plan on getting together.

The Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone concert was fantastic. Peter is quite the showman. He spent plenty of time thanking his fans and asked for audience participation during many songs. He did single out the that were in the audience and asked one young girl (maybe 8 years of age) if her mother made her attend the concert. The young voice replied "no, my grandma did"!! Lots of laughs and groans from all that were in attendance. Further, Peter looked good. He certainly has more energy than I and can dance around on stage like he did 40 years ago! It was fun to hear the "oldies". But, Waa...was it really that long ago Herman's Hermits song were so popular?

On a funny note...all fans made reservations for overnights (way in advance of the concert) at the Findlay Inn. There was a sock hop planned for after the concert. Us Noonatics were excited about getting together, hopefully ordering pizza from Jack & Doe's Restaurant, singin' and dancin'. Well, at the last minute the powers that be at the Findlay Inn advised we could not hold the sock hop. The reason?? They thought we would be too rowdy! lol Right...we are such party animals!

Now, just wondering out loud here if (our) SFF DanDee chose his handle based on the Herman's Hermits' song "Dandy". lol After all, DanDee does admit to having a harem!!







The positive is there. Sometimes it's just hard to find.

Haven't thought of Herman's Hermits in years. I thought he was the cutest thing back then.

Heart ~~ I searched and found that you're correct -- Peter did host a show on VH-1. (According to what I read at artistopia he no longer hosts the show). Thanks for stopping by. (PS...are you enjoying the song tag?)

LadyBug ~~ I saw Herman's Hermits in Detroit back in '65 or '66...I forget which! Doesn't time just fly by! You're correct -- Peter Noone has gotten better. He has so much energy. The concert was held in a former Jr. High School auditorium (that the seating was obviously made for Jr High students). Barely enough room to squeeze by people to get to one's seat...with small seats to sit in! But fun nonetheless! I would go again in a heartbeat...lol...made me thing of the song "Baby, Baby Can't You Hear My Heartbeat". lol Thanks for stopping by.

"...You're chasin' all the girls
They can't resist your smile
Uh-hmm, they long for
Dandy, Dandy..."

Love Ya

LovelyLady ~~ He's still the cutest thing! I was amazed at how well he looks ~~ in good shape too! He danced and moved around that stage like a teenager -- incredible. He went from one song to the next (for an hour) with no big break in between. Thanks for stopping by.

16 ~~ Yes, I had a wonderful, fun filled time. 99.5% of the people in attendance were in their 50's & 60's. The majority of us all acted like teenagers again...singing along, waving glow sticks, jumping up and down (when the audience sang "second verse, same as the first" over and over again), etc. I hope the .5% that were in attendance weren't too scared off! lol Thanks for stopping by.

Poet ~~ Yes, I had a marvelous time. I wish you could have attended also. Perhaps when Peter Noone/Herman's Hermits is in concert near you, you'll have a chance to experience the fun! Such electricity/energy in the air before, during and after the concert.

I do look forward to reading your enjoyable, thought provoking blogs. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for stopping by.

And, thanks for the good wishes. Back at ya!
