I was at that Concert. Both shows were half empty. A disgrace. Felix was terrific but why would he return to The Villages again?

A week later, I think it was Martha Reeves sold out both shows.

I think part of the problem was the advertising. There are many Rascal fans who don't know who Felix is. They just know the music. Felix deserved a better fate. Although I do admit, without Eddie Brigatta, his song selection was limited as Eddie was respsonsible for 30% of the Rascal hits. Felix did a great rendition of "How Can I Be Sure" and most of the people in audience didn't know that Eddie sang the original.
