I have produced shows for almost 40 years now. And even though there is no doubt I am a classic rocker by virtue of my high school years in the 70s, the street-corner music of the East Coast from the 1950s and 1960s is also very close to the top of my list.

Frankie Avalon performed at our Arcada Theatre last week, and before the show, as we usually do, we sat and chatted about all the business endeavors with which he is involved. A food line, QVC items he sells, touring, appearances … I was exhausted by the end of the conversation! All during our talk, I'm looking at this fit-and-trim guy, with thick hair, not believing he is 78 years old!
