To the poster who asked the other night where all the fun posters/subjects went down through the years, read this! They're still here.

We saw him 4 years ago at the Plant City Strawberry Festival and 2 years ago when he reunited with the other 3 original Rascals in Ft. Lauderdale. He always puts on a great show. He'll sing HIS Rascal's songs but not those sung by Eddie Briggati. He also does a lot of soul, lots of songs from the Rascals albums that weren't singles. It's sure to be a great night of music. I agree with the original OP. C'mon Up!

Tom...IMO you failed to mention some of the Rascals best songs.... Ones that weren't their hits! They did THE BEST renditions of Mustang Sally and Like a Rolling Stone, better than originals by Pickett and Dillon. Also, Felix was known for his keyboards -- he used the legendary Hammond B3 organ (perhaps he still does). Their version of More (than the greatest love...) had an jazzy organ break to die for. Also did a great cover of the song I Believe. Both found on their albums, but seldom heard performed.

It is too bad the group now tours separately.. I went to a show in Mt. Dora a few years back, 2 of the originals, no Felix...they needed Felix, IMO, badly!

There used to be a TOTV member who went by the name CaptJohn who still had his B3 and Leslie speakers from back in the day. He hasn't posted anything for over 2 years. Hey Cappy, if you're still out there, jump in and say hi! We miss you on TOTV.

The show was ok... but I've seen dozens of better ones.

Say... have you checked the links below? Do it right now!
