REDO REVIEW
| No pictures yet, but plenty of good words about the SOC HOP Redo #2 at RC's on Friday nite. Bill Lee, president of The Kansas Music Hall Of Fame was in attendance and had these kind words, " I had a great time at RC's in Martin City last night. Frank Plas and his new version of the Silver Tones were playing well. They were joined onstage by a friend of Frank's - whose name I missed [Norman Taylor], original Silver Tones bassist Rich Stoy, Jim Wilson of Larry Emmett & the Sliders, and the Fabulous Four's Mike Myers. Also in attendance were Mike "Soc-Hop" Weaver, the Chesmann's Steve Hodgden and Mike Willman of Eric & the Norsemen. Frank says he and the original band are excited about the upcoming Hall of Fame inductions. It looks like he and Rich are coming for sure. Drummer Mike Weakley is going to try to make it, but Roger Calkins says his health just won't allow him to make the trip from San Francisco. - The place was packed with family, friends, and fans, so it may become a regular gig for the band. Bill " Those kind words coming from such a knowlegeable source, speak for themselves. If you weren't there, all I can say is "Ya missed it, baby." The Silver Tones are indeed Sensational. They played about thirty-five pieces, which included 'Daddy's Home', Kansas City, Stormy Monday Blues, Fanny May, Linda Lou, Jailhouse Rock, Got My MoJo Working, Sleepwalk, Mustang Sally, and of course, their standbys Dimples, Louise, Louise and Midnight Thunder along with many other great oldies. I am still waiting on pictures to post, and will do so as soon as possible. My knees still ache, but I am already looking forward to the next session with The Sensational Silver Tones. More to come...... |
