Johnny Wild

[Garywt]

Listening tonight at Sumter Landing. Excellent music, really enjoying the music in the rain. Have not heard them before but definitely on the list for the future.

[Laker14]

and The Delights aren't bad, either.

[Topspinmo]

Sang the same old songs you eventually get good at it. :)

I've been singing those songs longer than Johnny W, and I'm still no good at it.

[Kenswing]

The last time we saw them he spent more time asking for applause and for people to buy their merchandise. They are good but they need to focus more on actually entertaining.

Me too, but I can’t sing. :duck:

you'd sound great if you had The Delights backing you up.

Noticed the same thing. The music is better than average, but Johnny Boy sure does have a high opinion of himself.

Kinda in the same boat. I thought the music was simplistic.

[DaleDivine]

Still my favorite band in TV...

i have edited my reply , evidently i offended an older not so wealthy woman...

cant anyone take a joke anymore..Go BRANDON

[George Page]

I prefer Uncle Bob’s Rock Shop

[justjim]

they have a following of wealthy older women! unfortunately i heard hes a dud in bed....

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Great satire!

[Juliebythesea]

I imagine you are too

[FenneyGirl]

You are disgusting to say that

[FenneyGirl]

This is not true. He entertains his audience and plays for 4 or more hours. He sells merchandise for his fans. If you don’t want a T Shirt, then don’t buy one.

This band is top notch. He sings the songs better than the original artists. His music is not simplistic. Maybe it’s your brain that’s simple.

These negative comments below disgust me. They don’t know him. Saying he’s is a womanizer is awful. He brings his children and mother to the shows. The band is his lively hood. He puts his heart and soul into the band and shows. This is his bread and butter. He feeds his family with the money he is paid. He loves his audience.

I am glad you enjoyed him. Last night, we stayed in the pouring rain to listen to the band play. What other bands have that following? I haven’t seen it here yet.

[RICH1]

I corrected it.. dont want you to be disgusted!

i pulled my comment evidently a not so wealthy woman was offended!

I was very pleased with the music but agree there was to much hawking of merchandise and upcoming cruise. He seemed to do it after every song they sang.

[Gpsma]

We need the Glen Miller Band here....that will get the Villages rocking.

[JSR22]

He is getting close to being an infomercial. I stopped going to see him.

[EdFNJ]

Good cover band (certainly would NOT say they are "better than the original artists though") but after the 4th time or so you see them you can recite their playlist in order by heart. Most bands do that. Wish they all would scramble their songs just a little a bit. :D

[spd2918]

Great band, but yes- way too much talking between songs.

[lkagele]

Just expressing my opinion. No need to insult.

[Kenswing]

It is very true. Just because you’re a fangirl doesn’t mean he’s perfect.

He and two of his female singers were at Edna's. When he took a break, the two females walked thru the audience asking for donations.

Like them too, and Rocky, Chillers, etc. it's great to have 3 squares with such a selection ! ! We all have our most loved genre, we could do with a bit more Blues, maybe even some old Marcia Ball types with the "bayou" sound, but always some nice groups and variety. Look how long Scooter has been entertaining now, and people are still delighted, even though they know every joke and song before it's played, its all fun no matter what ! And, sometimes, if there is truly nothing personally appealing, there's always something new on Netflix to fill that one night... LOL !

Other groups also do a lot of that self promoting while being paid by another, in this case villages merchants, or does the state tourism fund still pay for it ? Anyway, .. noticed the trend has REALLY GROWN, you are correct. Used to only be a mention at the end of the evening, or a quick mention that there is a table with tapes, or information on other appearances, or a quick mention of a website a group might have.. but you are right, some groups now use more of their paid time to advertise than they do to entertain. Could this be yet another fall out from the months of no income due to Covid Virus ? No end to the damage this has done to every aspect of life... even down to musical groups ! !

[Driller703]

I was there. That is not uncommon. If you don’t want to tip, then don’t.
