Default Favorite square entertainment?

We enjoy Dan Story Band, Scooter the DJ and Rocky and the Rollers? Who are your favorites?

My favorite entertainment is watching the people. The dancers, the line dancers, the two-steppers, the 90-year old man who breaks dances, the children, the couples, the singles, the groups, the smiles, the laughs, the golf carts...

Me too.

I haven't ever seen or heard Rocky and the Rollers. I HATE crowds and seat saving.

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop is the best. The Dan Story Band, Rocky and the Rollers, are all good, but it's getting stale. I've seen everyone several times now. It's time for some new bands. Three for the Road was good. I'd like to see them back.

Please get rid of the DJs and Karaoke singers, or what we like to call "button pushers". It's supposed to be live entertainment.

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop is our favorite, a real live band playing music from 70s-90s. Not pre recorded music with vocals.

It seems we only go if any of these are playing; Uncle Bob's Rock Shop, Yesterdaze, Cactus Jack & the Cadillacs, Dan Story Band, Street Talk or Petrina.

Petrina is the only solo act I can handle because she plays contemporary hits which I know nothing about, so it's like new music to me. Rocky and the Rollers are good if you only see maybe once a year. Clark Barrios I can handle after his first set is over, he thinks his first set at 5:00 that he should do a Frank Sinatra, Michale Bubla, Harry Connick Jr. set for the older crowd. Once that is over he is alright. Cactus Jack doing Born to be Wild was the heaviest song I've heard done, Yesterdaze doing White Rabbit was the most psychedelic. The funniest is the solo act, "Just Mike", he entertaining but that can only go so far. The most over-rated is Scooter the DJ, he's just a DJ playing songs I've never heard for the most part and he's not funny, but thinks he is.
