Both places for Rocky and the Rollers! Love them. Their next appearance at the Savannah Center is 8/21/07 along with The Contours.
After that they are at The Savannah with Charlie Thomas' Drifters. Usually have sold out shows. They are at Sumter Landing tonight!
Going to take a cart ride down in a short while but a little to warm to stay long.

kar guy -would you add Pearl Jam to your list? gotta admit I'm a product of British rock... I 've taken my son's to see the Who, while they take me see Pearl Jam. But to be honest with you I could sit and listen to any band in the Squares regardless of the era they played from! Hopefully that will be my way of life in a year and change!
ps - as a few of you have indicated, this site is 'addictive' and I'm not even there yet...

Gee, doesn't anyone besides me like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and that era? ;D Don't worry...I won't pollute the surroundings. I'll keep the volume down. While my best times were with the early 70's rock, I honestly like (almost) all music. I can do without Country Western and Rap. Preference is jazz.

The music choices here are one of the very few disappointments. Although I enjoy all types of music and attend the squares regularly, my tastes really run to hard rock and blues, ie, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc. So, I agree, more rock. As more boomers move here I think the music will change with it. I can't even listen to 640 radio. I mean, that's the music of my parents!

The statistic I read is that the average age in the Villages is 66. That means growing up in the 50s and 60s. Seems the music in the Squares and on the radio is age appropriate. My first visit to TV .. I thought "Great, I'll never have to listen to Rap again".

Looks like you rock music lovers have been heard loud and clear. Did anyone read the Daily Sun this week where the Rec Dept is aware of the changing music taste and intend to bring in different music? Guess there is room for everyone and with two soon to be three squares there are plenty of nights to switch up the music.

We're planning to move to TV this year and I'm glad to hear that there are some people who like to hear a variety of music. I just turned 54 and was concerned that I'd get tired of hearing 50s and 60s music all the time. I love all types of music, except most rap. I love to dance and look forward to going to the squares at night.

Too bad I don't subscribe to XM. Should though since we live in BFE all the hills cancel any decent radio signals. Actually listen to everything across the band. When I'm alone it's loud rock'n stuff. Then when my wife is with me it gets toned down to Yanni, Enya, classical, and there's also a Sarah somebody.

If the Wolfman show is really him, it would have to be a repeat. He passed away several years ago.
I guess it's not him! Sounds like him though. Maybe reruns.
XM is available thru your computer on AOL, which is free now. Not sure if all the stations are there or not, but you can listen to some for sure.

I'm not much for rock so I am one that enjoys the more mellow music of the 60's and 70's. I really enjoy barbershop quartet singing. For those of you who have not hear of www.live365.com internet radio, they have hundreds (they claim 10,000) radio stations. They have about every type of genre that you can imagine - including rock and roll. They have baroque, jazz, easy listening, acid rock, German, opera, Southeran Gospel, comedy, piano, etc. Check it out. It's FREE.

I like country night and oldies night on the square. Rap is crap as someone else posted. Not even music. I can take the swing era. Some good soft music. Elvis over the Beatles. Beachboys any day. A lot of Kingston trio and some Simon and Garfunkel. Neil Diamond and Johnny Mathis when I am in the mood. Tijuana Barass when I need background - like now. WCBS in NY on the way to work in NJ.

I come from NY and lived in the West Village back in the late 60s and early 70s and I LOVE THE MUSIC in the squares and on the Village radio station.
The stuff in the last 20 years has not even appeared to be music, just a lot of screaming; poorly chosen clothes and loud music to drum out the horrible "singing". :dontknow:

opbob77
10-05-2007, 12:12 PM
I see there hasn't been a post on this thread in several weeks. The only reason I'm writing now is that it's raining, I had VSN 99 on to see how long it would last, and the music was from the 40's. Then it got me thinking. Everywhere I go and everything I do seems to have the same old, very old music; ie. the 50's.
Now, there is nothing wrong with that music, but to play 50 year old music day in and out, at water aerobics, in the squares, on the radio, etc., etc., is too much!! Even when this music was popular there was still other genres of music equally popular, and that never gets played.
The entertainment people need to realize that a younger, hipper group is moving in and the music should begin to reflect that, at least occasionally. So, Kar Guy, you started this, what do you think? Is it time to start a Rock Music Club dedicated to getting more current rock music here? And that doesn't include ABBA & the BEEGEES!! Some thoughts people?
Taltarzac
10-05-2007, 12:59 PM
Maybe, this has something to do with the songs that were popular when these Villagers were in their teens and having their first dates, kisses, etc. If the average Villager is around 70 (born 1937), then that would mean that we would be hearing songs from around 1952 through 1962? The 50s pretty much? :dontknow:

This 50s music is kind of boring for those of us that do not have any memories associated with it. I suppose you could create your own memories here in the Villages to re-associate with this music like when you get your first hole-in-one on a Villages golf course??

In 1955 I was 10 years old. The music they play here, although I am certainly familiar with it, is the music of my brother's life, and he's 7 years older. I also agree as to why they play it, but the same old stuff where ever you go? Katie Bells, Lighthouse, the squares, it's the same all the time. I'm not suggesting getting rid of it, but how about expanding the offering a little into more hip and current stuff. I mean, what's wrong with some Tom Petty, Allman Bros, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, etc.?
bestmickey
10-05-2007, 04:24 PM
Well, I heard lots of 50's music when I was very young. Being the youngest of 8, I had older siblings who (thought they) were "hip" in the 50's. 8) While I do have memories of the music, I need the late 60's and 70's rock music to make me really happy.
Someone else mentioned Eric Clapton. I think I forgot to mention Eric when I first responded to a "rock music" thread. One memory, while in Montreal for a few days in the 70's (I frequently visited Montreal), I was in the lobby of our hotel, and Eric ran though. He sent one of his posse (roadie?) over to me and invited me to the show. Said I could watch the show from backstage. I was also invited to the after show party on "x" floor of our hotel. Well, I knew what I would likely be expected to do in exchange for these favors. I wasn't a groupie, and already had a date for the evening, so I didn't go to the concert or to the party. Sometimes I've kicked myself in the rump over that, but I knew it was the right decision at the time.
My fav Clapton song is "Cocaine". (Note to big sister: just because I like the song, that doesn't mean I used cocaine.) ;D

Do remember the 60's? If you do, you weren't there man! I think it was Bob Dylan who recently said that everything written in the past 10 years is crap. Well.... not everything, but I agree somewhat. If I hear a tune, and there's no way that I can hum or whistle part of it a few minutes later, it's crap. It doesn't have a hook as they say. A friend of mine likes Godsmack; I can only listen to about 5 minutes of it and I want to puke. Give me Dion and the Bellmonts anyday.

Jazz and classical music can put me into a state of nirvanha. Rock -- oldies, psychedelia, some heavy metal, modern -- usually means I can't sit still and body parts have to bop. It makes me happy to hear it. Let me hear the right sound on the radio and I HAVE to blast it out (my poor neighbors here). And, yes, to me the right sound can be good rap and hip-hop. Today's artists are some of the most talented wordsmiths and poets I've ever heard. They put Dylan and Baez to shame with their messages. I may not always like the message I'm hearing but the words are impressive.
I was fortunate and grew up in several musical eras. My brother was 7 years older and insisted I listen to HIS music (the Mickey Mouse Club was a communist plot to take over the minds of American children -- it was on opposite American Bandstand). So, the 50s rock was very much a part of my culture. I was one of the lucky ones who was there (albeit accidently) at the beginning of the hippie movement -- the Monterey Pop Festival which featured Janis, Jim, the Who, Alvin & the Chipmunks, the guy who did Purple People Eater .... it was an eclectic day to put it mildly. If Janis or Jimi were playing somewhere in NoCal, I was there. So, I do love the psychedelic sounds. I basically helped raise the neighborhood kids before my daughter came into my life. They kept me up to date on heavy metal, hip-hop, etc. I discovered the fun in those genres, too.
My father insisted that jazz and country be played in the house. Nothing like some Trane and then Patsy Cline to confuse a child. rofl
Given a choice, I would love to hear more blues in the Squares. Give me a man who can play a good axe and I'm in hog heaven.
Only music that truly hurts my ears and psyche is disco and techno pop. Both are the same sound over and over and over. Oh, did I mention that they are repetive?
So, yes, it would be nice to hear different sounds. However, I'm content with most of what I hear (as long as it isn't SLOWWWWWW). I can always play what I like at home and in my car.

Why not all kinds of music on a rotating schedule - Big Band, Jazz, Rock, Latin, Country, etc. Mix it up at the 2 town squares. I like the current music but variety is so much more fun!

Love Bob Segar! But, my all time favorites are and always will be the Stones! Mick Jagger has been my guy since I was 14 and I will continue to love him! Also, love Janis Joplin, Rod Stewart, Prince, Aerosmithe (love Stephen Tyler!) and many more. Just recently I have really fallen in love with Coldplay. (Sorry Fumar -- no Abba for me. :o)
But I love all kinds of music (although not much of a Jazz fan) And I really don't consider Rapping music! Just my opinion, but it's more noise pollution!
However, I would also love to see a Big Band night every now and again at the squares. My hubby and I went to a "Ballroom Dance" weekend once on Mackinaw Island and it was beautiful, dreamy and very romantic. :bigthumbsup:

since you all have talked abut your music choices, i must say this:
We have only been to TV once, last Sept for 3 weeks. the only area that was a negative for me (just my opinion) was the quality and type of music aat both squares. At least when we were there, it was 50/60 and country. that's it! Not sure that is a well rounded selection

(I sing Do Wah Diddy to my tomato & pepper plants. The plants are in big pots on my patio. I kick the pots in rhythm to the song while I water them, and I always have bumper crops of wonderful tomatoes and peppers. I think they like rock music, and they like to have their pots kicked. Once we move to TV I will try this on Hibiscus plants and report back)
And, I agree with kyblue... Rock music should ROCK. People go to the squares to dance! Maybe 1 or 2 snoozer songs a night is OK, but IMHO it's all about the dancing -- like American Bandstand, "I give it a 95 because I really like the beat." :hot: ;)

07-29-2008, 12:31 AM
Rocky and the Rollers are sooooooo boring! They play the same songs over and over. They seem as bored playing their stuff as we are hearing it! There are 20 other bands who play on the squares that are better entertainers.
Rokinronda
07-29-2008, 12:54 AM
I will never be bored with them. I have seen them do many different sets. I think the entertainment dept. requires that certain songs are played as all the bands tend to do many of the same songs. They always start off softly and slowly and get louder as the night progresses. Every 3rd song is a slow song. (all bands do this) The last set of the evening is switched at times and they love to get requests. (I guess they are allowed to do occasional requests.) These guys back many well known and respected artists and can play a wide variety of 50's-80's music. I think their songs are chosen by the powers that be. :dontknow:
bimmertl
07-29-2008, 11:04 AM
All the bands play the same songs since they are playing hits from the 50's and 60's. There are only so many. These songs are 40-50 years old! Rock has come a long way since then but you would never know it around here.
Check Rocky's web site, they have played with a few artists who had some hits, but none of their songs were hits in recent history. (The Drifters, The Shirelles, Lou Christie, Danny and the Juniors).
Yesterday in the Sun Times there is an advertisement for "Jay Siegel & The Tolkens" playing with Rocky and The Rollers for 2 shows a night for 4 days. It states "The Tokens are best known for everyone's favorite song, "the Lion Sleeps Tonight". That song was a hit in 1961!!! So name two other "hits" from the Token's. In addition, they'll be playing there with "The Teenagers" and "The Elegants". WOW!

Bim, May I ask how young you are?? Are you a Villager? Do you not appreciate the FREE entertainment here?? I'm 52, kinda young for TV yet I enjoy all the bands. I LOVE to dance. I hear the music will update as younger retirees move in and request it. For now my favorite is Rocky and the Rollers. I really like The Spectors and Sensation, Earthbeat, Radio Flyer (aka Doc Holiday) Margo and Rodeo Drive, Cactus Jack. Yes there are others that are ok, also. There are some excellent country and jazz bands, and I'm learning to appreciate them! I am not overly interested in Karaoke type shows even though Scooter is a big hit with Villagers as well as others. I like to watch musicians, just my personal opinion. International music shows are amazing! I have been to hundreds of music concerts in my life. When I dance I want to feel the bass and drums, swing my hips to the guitar and let the horns and pianos touch my soul! I even like SOME new rock, but I doubt many retirees do. Remember these are just my personal opinions! ;) :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot:

Rocky, Cactus, and the Spectors are all good bands. However, check their web sites, they all state they play all the classics from the 50's and 60's. So they all play the same stuff. You hear one, you hear them all.
Rock didn't stop evolving in the 60's. I have 500 songs on my i pod and none of them are hits from the 50's and 60's.
Plenty of great groups listed as favorites by posters on this issue, yet few of theses groups hits were from the 50's.
It's not a quality issue, just variety. Update the song list at least into the 70's and 80's.
Then of course there is the play list on the Villages radio station. Was in Sumter Landing with some friends two weeks ago listening to "Volare" being played over the speakers. (1958 record of the year, I was 11) That sums it up.

I guess I'm going to be the stone in everyone's shoe here. I am also in the 60s age group but really never did care for R/R all that much. My Mom told me I was born 10 years to late. I digress.I am a musician and also have preferences. BTW, if your sick of the same music they play on the 640 station, may I suggest an alternative. The city of Hernando broadcasts their WRZN at 720AM. It's an eclectic mix of 40s-70s music. And you can usually pick it up until late in the evening. (lots of big band and swing)
Anyway, while I understand and accept R/R as a part of my growing up right-of-passage,
I found Glenn Miller, Harry James, Count Basie, Artie Shaw et al much more to my liking. It also has a "beat" that you can dance to. The big difference being I feel, is the musicianship involved. R/R people play for 3-5 years and think they're pretty good. That music does not compare the the music of the 30s-40s. Most of those musicians had been playing for 10-20 years before they got good enough to play with a truly professional group. Such as Basie, Ellington, etc.
I play trumpet and am in the Villages Concert Band, Swing Band and Big Band. And you will usually only see me at the square when jazz or swing music is involved (which isn't very often).
I do like R/R but prefer 30s-40s much more.

I've weighed in on this topic early on, but after reading some of this recent stuff I feel compelled to respond again. No one is saying that 50's & 60's music or the other genres played here should be disposed of, just let's add some music of recent vintage. I don't like to go to the squares that much any more because every group seems to have the same play list. It doesn't matter how good they are. The 'Sounds of Time' are now ripping off music from Scooter and the Karackter(sp?) Band does mostly disco which is right up there with cRAP, and I really don't need to hear the Macarena every night.
When I think of Rock n Roll I think of Clapton, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, GnR, Motley Crue, AC/DC, 80's hair bands, etc. in addition to all the pop groups previously mentioned. Good songs with kick ass guitar riffs, power ballads. How about some Blues, the absolute prime origin of ALL RnR. Bobby Tate did a blues and jazz gig at Katy Belles the other night I would have paid money to see.
The other day the local rag had an article about the changing age demographics here, that being we are much younger. Yet the music doesn't respond to that. I think we can all agree that the really older group tends towards Spanish Springs, so maybe keep what we currently have there and update/upgrade at Lake Sumter.

My favorite band in TV is Shepherd's Pie. They play classic rock with a little bluesy stuff (Steve Ray, etc) thrown in. Their lead singer (Dunning Shaw) also performs at KBs as a duo with Donna Moore on Monday nights. I have not been to one of these shows yet - but hope to soon.
If you like Rock, look for Shepherds Pie!

Haven't read all the posts on this thread, but here's a simple solution.
Keep the present music as it is until the 3rd town square opens. Play the crappy "new rock" exclusively at the 3rd square. The younger people will probably reside in the new area serviced by the 3rd square. A beneficial side effect will be that the local outside thuggery will also be attracted to that music. Am I starting to sound like a Geezer????

MEM - hopefully as TV gets more retirees that grew up around rock, we will get to see more of it. What I love is that there is room in TV for music of all kinds. I also love some big band tuff, traditional jazz, do-wop, etc. But classic rock is my favorite.
For now, the best in TV (for rock) imo is Sheperds' Pie - and they are at KBs Friday and Saturday of this week.

The lead guitar player is unbelievable and plays a version of Jimi Hendrick's Voodoo Chile so good you think Hendricks is in the house, including behind the head and back guitar playing! On Monday night at UF they played music from Bad Company, Allman Bros, Tom Petty, a ZZTop medley, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton to name a few. And the place was packed and the dance floor so full they had to move tables to make more room. Although primarily a blues band, they are definately worth the time to go see. We are trying to bring them back to Urban Flatts. If you are interested you can find out where they are playing at their website - www.************/ssnakeyez. This is what we have been looking for!

Working hard to get to TV as soon as the divorce is worked out and I retire (either this August or next). I've played in bands for years...pretty left of center stuff. Alternative tunings...odd time signatures...lots of delay...lots of effects...looping...I even have a Martin D-28 with a midi set-up to control synths.
My first concert was Tommy James in 1967. Since then - Jefferson Airplane, Dead, Stones, Who, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, CSNY (I was there for 4 way street), Blind Faith, Dylan with and without the Band, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles (I drove Cameron Crowe to the show!), Derek and the Dominos (with Elton John opening), Springsteen (countless times - I even have him reading an offer to play at my wedding on a boot), the Ramones, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Jam, The Smiths, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Radiohead (my fave), Fleet Foxes, Sonic Youth, Tortoise, Andrew Bird, My Bloody Valentine, Grizzly Bear, The Association, The Turtles, Buddy Rich, Brian Wilson with and without, McCartney, Harrison and Caetano Veloso. There are lots of others - that's just the ones that stand out. Oh, Randy Newman, Pat Methany, Mahavishnu, Chuck Berry, Wilco, and Cocteau Twins.
My one regret - having Joy Division tickets and then Ian hung himself. Ah, Love Will Tear Us Apart.
When I get down to TV, look me up - I share music. ps - Joni Mitchell kissed me. Cheers - Gary

I'm so sick of 50's-early 60's music I could scream.
Via sat radio I listen to modern rock, which there is a lot of once you find it, that is pretty good. By "modern", I mean stuff from 1995 onward.

Harbor53 - there is a huge thriving community of artists of all kinds here in TV. I'm sure you will find your niche here, no problem. And the larger the place gets, the more people you will find that have similar interests. My hubby and I have only been here since November, and I am already playing gigs and starting to get more bookings. I have found artists and musicians here from all different walks of life, and some of the background stories (like yours) would just blow you away. They chose to retire here because of the opportunities to continue to enjoy their craft and reside among people who appreciate good art. Come on down!

Personally, I love the oldies (50's, 60's, classic country) and can't stand hard rock. That's just me and I'm glad there is such variety here. Let's keep it that way, please! Some love jazz, some love country, some love rock, some love elevator music, some love soft and hard rock; they play all kinds here....something for everyone.:MOJE_whot:

If the whole world liked the same things they would only sell vanilla ice cream.
My favorite music? The classics and show tunes. But I am pretty much like P.Turner. But she said it much better.

Fear not my friend, many of us are out there and I think/hope the Entertainment dept is finally listening because I was introduced to new Classic Rock band (not that overplayed Paul V stuff, Rocky and the rollers etc) But REAL CLASSIC ROCK, Pink Floyd, The Who, and yes LED Zepplin. My friends took me to Spanish Springs square last Sat night and
a truly fresh rocking band called Uncle Bob's Rock Shop was there. These guys were tremendous.

I agree with EJP52...more Classic Rock, less "formula" bands playing the same old songs every night in the Square. Seen Rocky and The Rollers you've seen them all. Do they copy each other's song list?

I don't think t is the Entertainment Dept's fault, RokinRonda. I have seen other bands not play any of the same tunes and draw great crowds too; but I think that the entertainment office uses one agent who controls much of what is booked and agents always think they know what is right. In NY, agents instruct bands how to look and dress, how many members (usually 1 girl singer) and what to play-giving them actual song lists, until they have 10-12 cloned bands out there which works when you're talking a big place like NY but in the Villages....It's really sad because variety is so much better. There's 7 nights a week at 2 squares, there should be something for everyone. And if the band doesn't even look like they are having fun, how can the crowd.
Rocky and the Rollers have some excellent musicians, too bad they can't "break free' occasionally.

There's 2 town squares, more coming, Katie Belles, Savannah Center, Church on the Square.....plenty venues and 7 nights a week.....and a lot of really good musicians. We need to tell the entertainment dept to
rotate not just the same bands but Musical Styles
Uncle Bob's Rock Shop (classic rock)
Country
Jazz / Swing-Lenny Wilson
Big Band
Rocky and The Rollers
Cactus Jack
Donna Moore
Mary Jo Vitalle (Show tunes and Opera)
