The premise of the A to Z Challenge is that you write a post with the corresponding letter of the alphabet in mind. My theme for this year is to show the scrapbook pages I’ve made of bands we have seen. In 2017 when I did the same theme, I used Genesis as my “G.” We didn’t see any other “G” bands so I’m using the name of a song that starts with the letter “G,” – Get Ready by the Temptations. I have another band that I want to use for “T.”
Turns out that I saw the Temptations for the first time at the Circle Star Theater in 1973! That was a really interesting venue because the stage was a circle and it rotated during the performance. I have no pictures from that time but I do have the program in my very old scrapbook.
This time we saw them at the Mountain Winery – can you tell that is one of our favorite venues? I decided to use this paper from Creative Memories that I’ve had in my stash for quite a while.
I didn’t have a set list from that show but in general they sang their hits.
And a video of my favorite song, “Lady Soul.”
Hope you don’t mind the little trickery with the letter today. In fact, I am going to do it with a couple of other letters too. I’m calling it creative license. See you tomorrow with “H.”

That paper is lovely and you can “cheat” all you want. I do that with certain letters too.

Thanks Felicia. To be honest, I don’t really remember the Staple Singers performance. It was quite a while ago!

It looks like the show was well choreographed. I agree when you have busier paper that keeping things simple for the embellishments is usually best. Weekends In Maine

My style is pretty simple generally. I never was much for too many layers, although that is something I want to try eventually. I’d rather have more pictures on a page than just one with a bunch of fluff.
