I would like to see Hall & Oats perform at EAA Airventure 2015. They are one of America's greatest bands and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. Also, John Oates holds a private pilot license since 1985.
We'll end up with a DJ playing records? Just think of the $$ savings.
I used to like Sweet Caroline, until I found out it was written with Caroline Kennedy in mind...and she was 11 at the time Neil Diamond wrote the song. Which is kind of creepy when you think of the lyrics in relation to an 11-year-old.
Hall and Oates are playing Madison on July 30th. However I think they won't be in the state for the opening day of the fly-in.
I am not a member of the "greatest generation", but I am nevertheless, an old fart. Even so not having been alive yet during WWII, somehow, and mostly by attending Oshkosh in the 70's and hanging out in the Warbird area, I fell in love with the big band music, or swing music if you will. You know, the Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Harry James, etc., etc. I can still recall many walks up to the big food tent up there and enjoying a nice meal while listening to that music.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I'd sure like to show up for the fly in one time and hear that music again. And wouldn't it even be nice if that were the main music attraction on Monday night with a big "swing" dance type theme?
For those that disagree and consider my suggestion (or dream) utter nonsense, that's fine. Nobody has to agree with me or also think that would be a good thing. I'm more than happy to imagine this and enjoy this in my mind all by myself. :-)
That makes at least 3 of us. :)
