Mother nature was good to us once again supplying a nice breeze and keeping the evening rain free. The seven-piece Happy Together Band kept the audience dancing with popular classic hits from the '60s including artists such as The Turtles, Beach Boys, Association, the Four Seasons, and even a medley of 37 Beatles tunes crammed into 3:30. It was nicely done as they covered the big highlights of the Fab Four's career.

The Happy Together Band played the songs as closely to the original recordings as possible. Their instrumentation mixed with stellar harmony offerings really did the songs justice. If you haven't had a chance to see Happy Together, make sure you get out there and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
