Ultimate thrill




As we were checking into our campground on Friday evening, I spied an announcement that Peter Noone & Herman's Hermits were playing a free concert at the nearby Mohegan Sun casino. OMG! If that phrase had existed when I was a young teen, I'd have use it. They were HUGE back then, part of the British Invasion with No. 1 hit after No. 1 hit. I still know all the words to all of them. So we jumped into the truck & headed out to hear him sing. He still puts on quite a show, full of energy & fun. It was the ultimate thrill for that young teen full of dreams back on Staten Island, listening to those tunes on a red transistor radio.

  2. Aside from being a white transistor radio in a black (leather) case and being in Wisconsin instead of New York I thought it was me writing your post. How cool that you got to see them.

  3. Funny! My friend (who played in Toni Tennille's band) played a couple gigs with Peter Noone. He said it was fun, but Mrs. Brown...... was a bit weird to play.

    Is he still short? ;-)
