LOL ! Enjoy, try some groups you may have never tried ? Most have websites where you can go to find out more about their play lists. We are just so depressed at the loss of the Caribbean Chillers after all these years... wonder if any "Buffet" type group will ever be as good... probably never

Dunno about that. We were at Spanish Springs last evening for the wine walk and Rocky and The Rollers, who are easily head and shoulders (most of the upper torso probably, as well) better than any other group we've heard. They were about as "buffet" as you can get (assuming what I think the quoted poster meant by the comment), reaching back to before World War II and the Big Band sound for "In The Mood" followed by "Sing Sing Sing" (the drum solo was sensational!), including songs popularized by Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong ("What a Wonderful World" vocalist even had the gravelly voice down pat), etc., as well as rock from the 50s to at least the 80s, all done very well.
