1) Went to Eat-to-the-Beat concert last night (Sunday) for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
2) They are a "big band" Swing Band . . . . and excellent.
3) We were asked to join along with eight guests staying at The Fort.
. . . we told them about the BIG BAND SOUND
. . . they were excited to hear REAL music
. . . the only hip-hop was the lone squirrel that was running through the rows of seats
. . . people threw popcorn, so he/she kept running around
. . . might as well nosh when one can
4) They thought we needed to buy the special (and pricey) dinner package for good seats.
5) Nay, nay, nay.
6) If you go to the first (5:30pm) show:
. . . they have a warm-up act called American Music Machine at 4:00pm and 5:00pm
. . . the group is "almost" a capella, as there is a bass and drums in the background
. . . it is open seating, with only a small section reserved for dinner packages
. . . so, zero waiting in line to get seated
. . . and no additional cost
. . . OK, we did buy Brewskies for the concert
. . . just walk in and grab any open
. . . we sat fourth-row-center, and kept the seats for the concert
NOTE1: After the 5:30 show, they do empty the pavilion and let in people with reserved seats from the package and then those in the lines. But, a great deal and super easy if you do the first show.
NOTE2: American Music Machine are not bad, just not that great. The tunes they chose to intertwine were clever, but the arrangements are not that well done. Additionally, they use some strange keys. As a Bluegrass Banjo player, I do know a little about "keys" and Key Modulation. My best guess is they sang in the Key-of-Z.
NOTE3: "ScupperSaying": Avoid the last Sunday of the F&W, as it is crowded!
