Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 11:00 a.m. in "The City."

Yes, you read that right, just past 11:00 a.m. That's because after our late night yesterday, I came home, fell asleep in front  of the TV in the media room, and then made it to the bedroom where I was fast asleep until around 10:30 a.m..

 At any rate this blog will not be following the KISS formula, except to say that my beloved Red Sox won, and that the Cubs and the Tigers lost, while the Caps had the day off. The sun already rose this morning into a cloudy sky with T-storms, that drove STWD to her hide - e - hole, @ 6:44 a.m. and it will set tonight @ 8:55 p.m.

Now on to what we were dong up so late last night.

We went over the bridge to 7 Steps Up to see British Invasion pop stars, Peter Asher, formerly of the 60s pop duo Peter and Gordon along with Jeremy Clyde, formerly of the 60s pop duo Chad and Jeremy. Collectively, they are on an abbreviated tour of small venues like 7 Steps Up. They have combined their talents and reminiscences to present a very entertaining, nearly three hour-long show of stories, songs, and fun. Peter Asher went on to produce many other artists such as Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, while Jeremy Clyde went on stage to perform in many dramatic roles.

However, the main focus of the evening, was the stories of their lives and loves, both then and now. The songs they sang were from the careers of both pop duos and also from a more recent interaction with current pop star, Ed Sheeran. All in all, we had a great time singing along while remembering all the words, and reliving our past and looking forward to the future. I took a lot of pix, so I am going to share them here in the hope that my faithful readers can vicariously enjoy the evening as much as we did. Don't forget, that you can click on any pic to enlarge it for your persona pleasure.

Through the magic of computer technology, shown in the background, the pop duo of Peter and Jeremy was born.

One of Peter's associates, a very young, Linda Ronstadt.

Of course, James Taylor

And Ed Sheeran.

Jeremy Clyde in one of his may dramatic roles.

Still another role for Jeremy.

They were singing a Peter and Gordon tune in front of this pic of the late Gordon Waller.

Peter was playing an instrument called a Banjolele on a rendition of the Peter and Gordon hit from the 60s, Lady Godiva.

For those of you old enough to remember, Chad and Jeremy appeared in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, entitled The Red Coats are Coming. In this episode, they played a British pop duo, The Redcoats and were named Ernie and Fred.

The duo closed the first half of their show with the Peter and Gordon hit, written by Paul McCartney, entitled I Don't Want to See You Again.

A relatively short intermission by pop music standards.

Jeremy sang a Chad and Jeremy song, Distant Shores, accompanied by Peter, with Jeffrey Alan Ross on keyboards.

Chad and Jeremy also appeared with Patty Duke, under the names of Nigel and Patrick.

They closed the show with some songs that Jeremy had in what he termed his Bottom Drawer. Never recorded until recently, but we liked them.
Otherwise, the day was filled with more highlighting, more commenting, and more walks with  the fur-children. Ciao.
