The Scarecrow gets a new Life

The Scarecrow was the perfect character for Halloween at a San Francisco Bay Area shopping center.  An improvisational actor posed for photos next to pumpkins, spider webs, witches, and goblins.

 

 Celebration of the Living

Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead, is a celebration of death being part of life. A Bay Area mall celebrated this lively holiday with an eight piece Mariachi and colorful Mexican folk dancers.

 

 What's your Favorite Candy?

A Peppermint Candyman marionette handed out Halloween goodies at a Bay Area shopping center. "Yes, the Candyman Can," that beloved hit by Sammy Davis, jr.

Boots for Walkin, not Stompin

Who would have believed? Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots were made for Walking" was included in a Country and Western theme. Yes, two guitarists included her iconic song along with Roger Miller's "King of the Road," Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash.  And, this talented duo featured traditional Appalachian and Irish music.

 

Around the World with Angie

Yes, travel with Angie worldwide. Her ability to mix and mingle; get her audience on the dance floor; her repertoire of Latin, Pop, and Rock has gained a loyal SF Bay Area fan base. Here's Angie on a Saturday night attracting a Bay Area theater crowd.

Supper Club with Sinatra

There was a Supper Club with a Sinatra impersonator and trio at an Eastbay venue. "Ole Blue Eyes" sang Sinatra's greatest hits while partygoeers feasted on steak and lobster. Yes, the Sands Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, closed in 1966. Some audience members had fond memories of "The Rat Pack Show" in the Copa Room. Congrats to this Eastbay venue for keeping the "Chairman of the Board's" memory alive.

 

Two Things for Certain

There are two things for certain (1) There are no Penny Gumball Machines (2) Rock and Roll is here to Stay. When a San Francisco shopping center had their 70th Anniversary, a Rock band played hit songs from the 50's and 60's. Do you remember The Bunny Hop; Duck Tail Haircuts for the guys: the '57 Chevy with the red fins; the stroll? Yes, enjoy Danny and the Juniors, Rock and Roll will never die.
