My wife took my daughter and half of her 8th grade basketball team to the movies the other day and they sang 'Hair' together as its one of their favorites. The other girls looked at each other in amazement (not due to the great singing, but they thought the song was so silly). One of them asked my daughter how she knew her mothers hippy music so well. ha2ha
-
You and your wife taught your daughter well, Todd. Hair is a good song. It was an anthem in its day.

I remember taking my sister to a local department store where The Cowsills were doing a record-signing. My sister struck up a conversation with Susan that went on for over twenty minutes. They were good friends by the time I had to take my sister home. They were all genuinely friendly to all their fans that day.
She got Susan, John, Paul and Barbara's autographs that day...

Yeah, and hopefully we'll be able to see the stage! Tickets have been on sale since April but they just started advertising it on TV. I got reserved seating and it looks like we are just before the edge of the stage. I may have to do some leaning like I did at the Fab Four concert. LOL
