Back to the 60's and 70's with fun

Most of my posts are about classical music, but our tastes are eclectic. As long as it is good, we enjoy all kinds of genres. Last night we happened upon a talented and fun group that do the songs of our youth. The City of Newton puts on free concerts during the summer, and most of the groups performing are enthusiastic but not that talented. We were having a bite to eat in Newton Center and saw a group setting up, so decided to grab our blankets and at least listen to the first few numbers. The group was The Reminisants, and they were GOOD. They did a mix of songs originally done by all the greats of the 60's and 70's (Roy Orbison, Elvis, The Moody Blues, etc) and if you closed your eyes, you could believe you were hearing the originals. The keyboard and guitars were first rate, and their stage presence made it even more enjoyable. The group performs frequently all over eastern Massachusetts, and I would encourage you to check their schedule and give them a listen. (www.reminisants.com)
