BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

54 YEARS AND COUNTING FOR THIS FOLK GROUP.....

THE SOUTH POINTE HOTEL AND CASINO THEATRE HOSTING THIS WEEKEND THREE NIGHTER TO SOLD OUT CROWDS FOR MUSIC FROM THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES FOR THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES AND OLDER.

ALWAYS GLAD TO HEAR MUSIC I KNOW AND NOT NEW STUFF...NO PROBLEM WITH THAT HERE.

GEORGE GROVE OF HENDERSON WITH A COLOSSAL HISTORY REMAINS ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST BANJO PLAYERS...HE ALSO DOES PRECUSSION AND VOCALS...AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME.

BOB ZORN ....LEAD....BIG HISTORY WITH FOLK GROUPS AND THE TRIO....CAN REALLY SING...I HAVE ENJOYED BOB THROUGH THE YEARS AND HE TOO ON THE TOP OF HIS GAME TONIGHT.

RICK DAUGHERTY...BARITONE...BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND COMEDY LINES.

THE TRIO ALWAYS HAS BEEN A FOURSOME WITH BASS...ALSO PERFECT TONIGHT.

BOB SHANE THE DADDY OF THE KINGSTON TRIO LIVES IN PHOENIX AND USUALLY MOTORS UP FOR THE LAS VEGAS GIG...DID TONIGHT AND SANG HIS CLASSIC ....SCOTCH AND SODA... AS WELL AS... TOM DOOLEY...BOB IN THE LAST CLASS OF THE HALL OF FAME AND STILL IN VOICE AT 80.

JUST A WONDERFUL 90 MINUTES IN A PERFECT VENUE FOR AN APPRECIATE CROWD...THANKS TO THE SOUTH POINTE FOR BRINGING JOY TO MY LIFE AND TO LOTS OF OTHERS...

THE SHOW STARTS ON TIME, GOES 90 MINUTES AND LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE....GREAT SOUND IN THIS VENUE AND WITH THIS PROGRAM YOU GET TO HEAR ALL THE LYRICS....WHAT A NOVELTY.

SOUTH POINTE BRINGING IN THE LETTERMEN AND THE GATLIN BROTHERS AMONG OTHERS...SUPER SPOT FOR PEOPLE MY AGE (67)....NICE TO BE IN A CROWD WHERE I AM NOT THE OLDEST PATRON.

NOT ENOUGH GOOD THINGS TO BE SAID ABOUT THIS SHOW....I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SUCCESS OF THIS IS....LYRICS...TALENT...SOUND...HISTORY...STORYTELLING....MAYBE WHEN WE HEAR ....PETE SEEGERS...."WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE", THE QUESTION IS ANSWERED...MAYBE ITS A COMBINATION OF ALL THE ABOVE....SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GROUP FOR THEIR CLOSER "CALIFORNIA".

ONLY A+ A+ 97 HERE
