Turtles
Those of us who survived the sixties, remember The Turtles as a
pretty white bread group. This is what they call light rock today, and what we
had called bubble gum rock back in the day. This was essentially rock for young
teen age girls. Latter on, these two had to change their name, and their style,
due to a lawsuit. For years, they played quite a different kind of rock with
Frank Zappa, as The Mothers of Invention. This is also when they ditched their
real names, and began to call themselves Flo and Eddie. At any rate, the show
was far more fun than I had thought it would be, and was as much a comedy show,
as a music show.

No, this is not Flo and Eddie of The Turtles.
It is a local opening act from Knoxville, Dave Landeo, and his wife. |
 |
Well, here they are, and they seem quite
happy to be here. The Turtles started out as a local act, and are from
Tennessee. |

This is THE LIST. Please don't ask us to do
any other songs. These are the songs we do, and we write them down so we
will remember. If you make any requests we just get confused, and then
want to leave. |
 |
Starting things off, presumably with one of
the songs on the list. These two are now in their mid sixties, and seem
determined not to get old - as long as they stick to the list. |

Dancing around the stage and having fun.

Bouncing around doing one of their old songs
from their Mothers of Invention incarnation. |

Wait a minute, wait a minute; we don't need
this! |

Doing their final song which was, if I
remember correctly, Elanore. |
 |
With the show over, we begin to get up and
leave, for about two hours, hundreds of people were sitting on the
grass, on blankets, or on lawn chairs., |
