V is for Vanilla Fudge

Posted on April 25, 2024 by scr4pl80 (Scrap Lady)

Well this is certainly a band I would not have seen on their own. I was never really into “psychedelic rock.” Vanilla Fudge was part of a show called “Hippiefest” that the Mountain Winery put together. The other groups that … Continue reading →

R is for Rock, Paper, Scissors

Posted on April 20, 2024 by scr4pl80 (Scrap Lady)

I had an issue with this show. It featured Peter Gabriel and Sting and I wanted to do Peter Gabriel for “G” and Sting for “S” but when I started writing it, everything was so intermingled that I really couldn’t … Continue reading →

Q is for One Night of Queen

Posted on April 19, 2024 by scr4pl80 (Scrap Lady)

Unfortunately we never saw Freddie Mercury with Queen. We have seen Queen with Adam Lambert twice and thought they were great. One of the offerings at the Mountain Winery was “One Night of Queen,” a tribute band. We love the … Continue reading →
