It seemed like a fun idea, and it was.

Saturday night we went to see an 80’s cover band.  Two full hours of rocking to a playlist that took us back to a very different time – even back to the 70s.

A little Bon Jovi, Journey, Van Halen, Culture Club. And then a full eight and one half minutes of Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Were we singing?  You bet – for virtually the whole two hours.  Some of our fellow concert goers had clearly seen this show before since after yelling and screaming from the audience, they literally charged the stage to dance right at the edge with the performers.

Frankly, age didn’t matter.  Our fellow concert goers ranged from 20’s to 80’s and everything in between.

My voice isn’t hoarse anymore. But it did take two days.
