Default Favorite bands on The Squares

A while back, there was a thread listing the favorite bands of The Villagers. I can't find it now but am curious to know which ones would you go to over and over again? I love Rocky and The Rollers and Scooter the DJ!

Rocky and the Rollers are the top choice overall in The Villages. You cannot dispute they draw the biggest crowds.

Scooter does an excellent show, too. Big crowds for him.

Some real duds are Garrett Miles, Carol Ann, and Denny Rogers. No crowds at any of their shows.

Uuummm.... Scooter the DJ is not a band. He's a guy that runs a computer. In my opinion when the advertise "Live Entertainment", I expect to see people playing instruments and creating music.

I don't know who's at Spanish Spring tonight, but there's almost no crows there at all. It was some girl singing and a guy with one of those 1970s style keyboards hung around his neck. The guy with the keyboard was also running the computer.

Absolutely true. Scooter has a great personality and stage presence but does not actually do anything except the DJ thing.

A very good entertainer, in my opinion, is Mary Jo Vitale. She is a singer and performs quite often at Katie Belle's.

Susie Casta is very good and also does Katie Belle's as well as the squares.

My all-time favorite at the squares was Norman Lee. You can catch him every Sunday at the Garden Worship Center in Belleview since he is the minister. Great sermons and music, too.

According to the schedule it is the Dream Journey Duo.

I think Second Slice is going to be the new upcoming band to go see. They are playing twice this month. Check them out!

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop to me is the best.I like the 60's music but to me Classic Rock is my favorite! I don't believe I've heard good vocals in any band but Uncle Bob's choice of music & talented musicianship is the best here! Imho
