Today’s prompt for #TheAugustBreak2018 is “Happiness Is…”
Oh, you know, a lot of things are happy things for me. I’m basically a pretty easy going person. For the sake of the prompt though, I’m going with Happiness is Concert going. I bet you could have guessed that.
We went to a concert last night at one of our favorite places, The Mountain Winery in Saratoga. The view is stunning when there isn’t so much haze from the fire smoke. The weather was outstanding. Warm but not too hot. I had a sleeveless dress on and did not need a cover-up all night. The bands we saw were oldies: Tommy Tutone started off, followed by Greg Kihn, then Loverboy and the headliner was Rick Springfield.
Of course we have to have our concert photo to prove we are having a good time.
Everyone knows Jeopardy and the Break Up Song.
Loverboy:
I think I was too old for him because when he was big on the Soap Opera General Hospital I was working during the day and while I knew the song Jessie’s Girl, I wasn’t really over the top in love with him.
This hard working drummer played with 3 of the 4 bands. Loverboy had their own drummer.

Great to see these guys still rockin out, even a few songs each. I was a little kid, so I did not have a crush on Rick Springfield, but yeah, he’s a good lookin guy, even now 🙂 Glad you had a great time!

It does make me feel a bit old when I remember where I was and what was happening in my life when these songs were popular. Not to mention that most of the people in the crowd are of the older persuasion 🙂

It is inevitable, but with any luck, we all get a turn at seeing the artists of our youth again 🙂

Love your enthusiasm for these events! Your smile in your photo says it all! 🙂 I did kind of have a crush on Rick back in the day…it’s faded, but nice to know he’s still eye candy for the girls!

Thanks, Shelley. I am having a blast. I can only count on the fingers of one hand the concerts that we have been less than thrilled with in the 100 or so that we’ve seen which isn’t bad!

I cannot look at Rick Springfield without thinking of General Hospital. I wonder how many other people are the same way?

I’ll bet a lot, Ally. He talks about it during the show, as well as all the other shows he’s been in. I’m too old for that and truthfully have never seen him in any of them!

Great pics of the bands. What a gorgeous venue! I will be seeing this lineup in FL in 2 weeks. Very excited. I go to as many Rick Springfield concerts as possible. He just makes me happy. Thanks for sharing your summer concert

We had never seen him before and he did put on a good show. Very engaging with the audience. Still looks pretty good after all these years too! Thanks for stopping by!

I guess I’m lazy, too. But I do love to listen to my iPod while working my jigsaw puzzle. I just heard Jessie’s Girl last night!

That looks like fun. We don’t go to enough concerts… too lazy, I guess.

It can get kind of expensive too, especially since we don’t like sitting in the cheap seats.

We actually wanted to see Loverboy most but Rick did put on a pretty good show.
