James McCarty, drummer, singer, songwriter, and co-founder of the Yardbirds continues to lead this British Invasion rock band that provided an important link between the blues, British R&B, psychedelic rock and helped pioneer heavy metal. From 1963 to 1968, the Yardbirds have yielded legendary guitarists including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Current lead singer and guitarist John Id...

The Baths is a beach area on the island of Virgin Gorda among the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. Apparently, The Baths were formed by granite that eroded into piles of large boulders on the beach. The area is a British Virgin Islands national park, Devil’s Bay, and offers swimming and snorkeling. This area is incredibly beautiful. You can walk among the rocks and through the caves wit...

Here are some clips from Family Stone on the Flower Power Cruise, 2024. I want to apologize for the poor quality of this video. I was back too far and lots of wind noise. The crowd was really getting into this show, more than what you can see here. I actually got some great shots up close of people dancing but decided not to include them without permission. It was a lot of fun and I would defin...

Amazing to see the 81-year-old Felix Cavaliere and The Rascals perform at Flower Power 2024. Between 1966 and 1968 the band had nine singles that reached either Number One or the top 10. Hit songs included “Good Lovin’,” “Groovin’,” “People Got to Be Free,” “How Can I Be Sure?,” “A Beautiful Morning,” and “A Girl Like You.” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. This...

The Vogues put on a good show for Flower Power 2024. Although perhaps not my favorite band on this cruise, that song "Five O'clock World" can get stuck in your head.

Peter Asher of Peter and Gordon made several appearances. He shared that his sister Jane dated Paul McCartney and Paul gave him a song "A World Without Love" that John Lennon rejected. Other songs became big hits for Peter and Gordon. Peter has a long history in the music industry, developing the careers of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and many others. I look forward to reading Peter's book "Th...

A sample of one of the performances by The Box Tops on The Flower Power Cruise 2024.

Short clips from a few songs performed by The Lovin' Spoonful at Flower Power 2024. This is what's left of the band and I thought they were good. They may not include all of the original members, but they legally own the rights to use the name. It was fun hearing these songs from my childhood.

From their website: "The Buckinghams formed in 1966 and went on to become one of the top-selling acts of 1967, charting five top 40 hits in that year alone. Original members Carl Giammarese, Nick Fortuna and the band continue to perform all the hits and more." In this video you will see their evening performance and also a day performance with a special surprise when the Cowsills join them at t...

Here are some clips featuring some Guess Who songs and BTO. I was unable to attend his Q&A session but he strongly suggested there will be a reunion with Burton Cummings, perhaps on Flower Power 2025. I saw them perform together with most of the original band back probably about 10 years ago in The Woodlands, TX. Great show! I have tickets to see Burton Cummings in September.

Danny Seraphine was one of the founders of the band Chicago Transit Authority, soon known simply as Chicago. As the band's original drummer, Danny performed and contributed his songwriting talents for over 22 years, 1967-2000. Danny Seraphine was a big reason the band Chicago was founded when he approached his friends Walter Parazaider and Terry Kath about leaving the cover band they were in an...

The Cowsills are just fantastic. Great performers, despite the heavy wind, and genuinely nice, approachable people. Enjoy!

Tommy James, 76 years old, performed at our sail away party for Flower Power Cruise 2024. In this video you will see portions of “Draggin’ the Line,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Hanky Panky,” "I Think We’re Alone Now,” and “Mony Mony.” The Flower Power Cruise happens every year (except 2020). This was our first time to attend and wish we had known about it years ago. It’s ...

Summer of ’68 there was no group I liked better than The Grass Roots. I had no idea that The Wrecking Crew played their background instruments (as they did most everyone). I was at Hastings Records in Amarillo, TX when they came for an autograph signing. I wanted to be Warren Entner or Rob Grill. Just so cool. Rob has died and Warren is making money producing and has no longer any interest in T...
