JIM
HERMEL & THE HOT CHIX - BIRDWOOD - ROCK 'N' ROLL RENDEZVOUS 2010!!!
< Pic- Jim Hermel & The Hot Chix - Birdwood 2010!
Hi Folks.., A few lines about the great Rock 'n' Roll Rendezvous held
at Birdwood in the picturesque Adelaide Hills on the 18th of April 10am
- 5pm. A fantastic day. Terrific weather, a great crowd.., hundreds
of vintage cars and motorbikes on display.., and, most important, plenty
of terrific Rock 'n' Roll. The dancefloor was packed all day with full-on
rock 'n' roll dancers. To look from the stage and see that huge dance
floor overflowing with rock 'n' rollers all dressed in fantastic 1950's
gear was sensational. Johnny Kaye was the stage compere. The bands on
the show were "Get Back," The Cruze Brothers," "The
Rockin' Rustlers," and ourselves.
Normie Rowe & Marcie Jones performed to great acclaim. Special mention
must go to the Cruze Brothers for their fabulous backing of Normie and
Marcie! Brilliant, guys!!!
It's the first time I've had a chance to see "Get Back," and
the "The Cruze Brothers," and what terrific rock 'n' roll
bands they are!!
Of course I've caught up with Gary Burrows and the Rockin' Rustlers
many times over the years.., and, as always, they put on a fantastic,
professional show. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for Gary, we wouldn't
have been there ourselves.., so "Thanks!!" so much, Gary!!
And, speaking of Gary.., the two "Garys" from the Rockin Rustlers
did a magnificent job on drums when The Hot Chix performed their set!!
Thanks guys!! Just fantastic!!! So much appreciated!!
Well, all in all a sensational day.., once again proves that Rock 'n'
Roll will live forever!!!
