I got to relive my toddlerhood last night, as we had a chance to catch 60's British Invasion pop group Gerry & The Pacemakers. They had big hits in North America with songs like "Ferry Cross The Mersey", and "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying". I would have been about 6 years old, back in their heyday.

To be honest, I heard more of their stuff when I was considerably older. So I pretty much missed their heyday, in between potty training and feeding boiled turnips to our family dog. But it was still cool to see another living piece of classic rock 'n' roll history.

It really was just a piece though. Unless Gerry has an actual pacemaker these days, any other members of his band appear to be far too young to be original members. And the songs we heard weren't any of their big hits, mostly two cover songs.

To be even more honest,we weren't even there as paying customers. We had stopped in to pick up our tickets for an upcoming show, and Gerry & The (replacement) Pacemakers were doing their sound check, in preparation for last night's show. So we sort of lingered a bit.

To be even way more honest, I bought us a couple of drinks from the bar, and we sat there totally mooching the freebie presentation. Two thumbs up - they sounded great!!

Chow for now!!
