They have there loyal followers but Rock and Roll. and there brand of loud, simple, same old stuff is OLD, is well beyond boring.
Change let's get up-beat throw some variety Disco, Four Freshmen. The Association, Kool and The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire..bring some life into the party. Rocky and the Rollers is old school, much the same as the Sugar Bear Band, Karen Hall, etc.
The Beatles ?? You can play every original song that they recorded in less than 10 hrs.,( they recorded a lot of already established hits), get real gang wake up and smell the coffee.
The Church on the Square re-hab is forward thinking and will be GREAT !! for this area.
Aside from that I am bewildered on the amount of religious places of worship in such relatively small area is mind boggling to me. Must be the money (Donations) what else?? So losing Church on the Square is ..So What ?? To me bring on decent Entertainment.

All right, you got my attention. Herman's Hermits Starring Peter Noone puts on one of the finest shows on the "oldies" circuit. Notice that he always sells out The Villages, and the reason is his talent. The Association has played here recently and they are simply horrible.
I am not sure that I am understanding the Beatles reference. they won't be playing here anytime soon. If you are referring to tribute bands, some of us like to experience the music live. Well, lots of us, if you check out the attendance. Look, I am not a fan of ABBA, but I won't put anyone down who likes to see an ABBA tribute band. The Duprees play here on occasion and, while there are no original members left, they put on a great show.
Bottom line, I like the Savannah Center and am grateful to Rocky for bringing the acts that he does. Would I like to see more? Sure. Oh, and Rocky, please bring Peter Noone back.
