Rockapella sing

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything on the blog, but I think it's about time to start up again. There's been a lot going on since March when I last posted the AKAfellas songs, so I'll just start with the most interesting events and fill in from there.

Greg heard that Rockapella was going to be in Indy again this October, so he and I and Paul & Leslie got tickets to go. Greg was coming back from a business trip after being gone all week, so I was really looking forward to seeing him. They performed at Hamilton Southeastern H.S. in Fishers, where lead singer, Scott Leonard's father is the former superintendant. The first time I saw Rockapella live was at Butler University at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis on Nov. 14, 2003. That was before Greg and I were engaged. We went with his quartet, the AKAfellas, and their respective wives/girlfriends/finacees. It was a fun time and a great performance by Rockapella. Anyway, I digress. Back to the concert in October.

So this was the first time for us to see the new group perform: the Three Tenors, Scott Leonard, Kevin Wright, and introducing John Brown, A.K.A. JB, and new bass, George Baldi, and their vocal percussionist, Jeff Thatcher. Of course we were impressed and just thought that getting some of their performance on video would be great. We had our little Casio Exilim digital camera that could capture as much movie and pics as there was room on the disc, so we started "filming" when they were singing "My Girl." Well, you can watch the rest. Anytime there's a break in the video, it's b/c Greg was taking a picture.
