I went to Lake Sumter’s Market Square last night and enjoyed the music big time. I’ve heard Village people rave about Rocky and The Rollers, claiming they own The Villages. Guess what? They don’t. Just as good was Norman Lee and The Boondock Saints.

Although lead singer Norman was professional and had a great voice, the band behind was also talented. Lead guitarist Ricky Lee’s rendition of The Beatles “You Can’t Do That” was one of the best I ever heard. Ricky did other Beatle songs with perfection and an outstanding version of Badfinger’s “No Matter What.”

The group proved to be diversified as they did exceptional versions of Neil Diamond’s- America, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s-- Sweet Home Alabama, The McCoy’s – Hang on Sloopy …. I can go on and on. The band covered everything from Do-wop”, to country to Good old Rock n Roll.

An enjoyable evening. I recommend catching the show if they ever perform again in The Villages.
