Papa’s World – There is a place in Florida-NEON LEON’S!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Although this time around –

We did not get to visit –

While my brother Roger was alive-

We stopped in and just marveled at what we found inside!

“LYNARD SKYNARD”!

Just look at the picture in the middle at the top!

This place belongs to his family –

It could be a brother or nephew –

I really do not know-

But the whole inside is a tribute to that band –

Along with instruments – Clothing and a sure-fired “GUMBO” dish to eat!

Nothing fancy in here –

But if you want to see pictures –

And read the history and see the costumes and instruments-

Then this is the place to check it out.

It is by MONKEY ISLAND on the coast –

This just may be a “BUCKET LIST” type of place to check out!

A plane crash took them away –

But Florida is a place that brings them back!

“NEON LEON’S”

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Papa’s World – We took in a little music show at the Alabama Theater in NMB – The Drifters – The Coasters and The Platters!

Good day – from Papa and Sherry – living the Salt Life.

We purchased tickets – three for our neighbor and her parents and two for ourselves.

“STAND BY ME” – SPAINISH HARLEM” “UNDER THE BOARDWALK” ” CHARLIE BROWN”

“YACKITY YAK” ” THE GREAT PRENDER” “ON BROADWAY” “YOUNGBLOOD”

and the list goes on and on.

ALABAMA THEATER in Barefoot Landing, NMB, S.C.

I guess trying to remember the ’50s and ’60s at our age is not easy –

and I hear music but I can’t really tell you each and every time who sings it!

But – regardless – it all came back one by one

as the songs came out to much delight.

Our view from our seats – middle of the stage!

For me, it brought back memories of our local park Tennis Courts.

I belonged to a group one step up from the Boy Scouts – called THE EXPLORERS!

We raised money for our trips and activities – one way was by holding dances at the Tennis Courts!

I think we charged 25 cents – sold soda and candy –

and someone – for my life, I can not remember who although I want to say Guy

spun those 45s!

All these songs we heard at the Alabama Theater from –

THE DRIFTERS – THE COASTERS and THE PLATTERS

were played those evenings under the park lights and stars!

Papa Sherry Diane and her parents – old-time rock and roll!

A memorable concert – through the years and back in time –

this was the way it was when I was growing up!
