My blog inspiration book, Everything I Need to Know I learned from A Little Golden Book, reminds
us to “sing, even if you can’t hold a tune.” That is just what you can’t help doing at the
show Decades Rewind. It's a musical review of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. When you’re
a child of these decades you know all the hit songs, you sing the words, you
add a little dancing, and then bingo- you’re
in your own special flashback memory.
Reflection
Singing breeds fun and a song can incite memories. My girlfriend and I knew the words to every song in the show! The 80’s, “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” transported me to Daytona Spring Break at a
beach karaoke contest where my energy, not my singing, most likely won me a
tee-shirt.
The show opened in the 1980’s with songs: Living On A Prayer (Bon Jovi), Jump
(Van Halen), Uptown Girl(Billy Joel), Don’t Stop Believein (Journey), Thriller(Michael
Jackson), Call Me (Blondie), Let’s Get Crazy(Prince) and I Will Always
Love You (Whitney Huston). Then moved to
the 1970’s with Teenage Waste Land (Who), Whole Lot of Love (Led Zeppelin), 25
or 6 to 4 (Chicago), Heart Breaker (Pat Benatar) and more. There was a Disco Set, a Funk Set , and a Rock Set. After
intermission some 1960’s were played; Hit The Road Jack
(Ray Charles), a Woodstock revival, a Motown review and a British Invasion with the Beatles and all
the Freddie Mercury high notes in Bohemian Rhapsody.
The band kept up the energy adding brass and some tricky
guitar playing. You will have a blast as you sing and dance at Decades
Rewind. Check out this show if you can
(see schedule) or get out some old cassettes,
or some vinyl, and have a flashback memory.
