It was a great show, better than I expected (not a big fan of holiday shows myself) Dad and I drove from Charlotte to Durham to go see them.  Dad enjoyed it too.  After the show, we drove back home.

Memorable moments

Kevin Wright’s digs on Meredith Baxter Burney and Tiger Woods

Dad laughing at George Baldi III’s vocal teacher story

The Kwanzaa song

The Dreidel Song

Two of the women in front of me were completely hot for George Baldi, and I think two of the guys next to me were hot for him too.

Will add more.



And now, Rockapella’s “Use Me”….seen from another angle.

Yeah.



And now….a dance break.

Album Review: Smilin’ by Rockapella

That’s right folks, the studio album from 2002 with Barry Carl retiring and the début of George Baldi III replacing him as Rockapella’s resident Bass Man.

Album Review: Rockapella “In Concert” CD and DVD

This is the first album I bought when I got back into Rockapella.  Since it’s a live CD, it’s hilarious hearing the audience go crazy and since you can only hear the audio, you wonder, what’s going on?  I got the DVD eventually.  The hard part of this review is that I’m trying to review a CD featuring songs I’ve already reviewed.

My parents became instant lovers of Rockapella the minute they played this album, I think mainly because the guys are performing remakes of songs they have grown up with.  And according to my mom, dad could not believe that it was Jeff Thacher by himself making those sounds.

Album Review: Rockapella’s “2″

Rockapella’s Last Hurrah, originally uploaded by eyduck.

This 2000 album continues the theme of a slick, poppy production like its predecessor, Don’t Tell Me You Do.

Album Review: Rockapella’s Don’t Tell Me You Do

Kevin Wright and Scott Leonard of Rockapella being silly., originally uploaded by greyfloppysocks.

This 1999 album is a part of the era where we say goodbye to the era of Sean Altman and Carmen Sandiego and hello to the era of Kevin Wright, Folgers, Scott as lead songwriter, and a much more slickly produced sound for the guys.

Ooooh, the beat is sweet tonight….

Rockapella performs “Tonight”

George Baldi’s looking very good in this clip and his voice reminds me of smooth chocolate.
