"All aboard!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha… Aye, aye, aye, aye..."

Ok, that was me, channeling Ozzie Osbourne – how much FUN was THAT!! “SHARON!” I mean, uh, anyway...Sunday night ROCKED!! It was a great crowd, and everyone seemed to be having a BLAST! Most of the ‘regulars’ were there – Marky Mark crooned Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash, to name a few; John D. belted out ‘Play That Funky White Boy’, along with the ‘John D.-ettes’, Christine, Rockin’ Robin, and Yours Truly, singing backup.

“Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy…!”

Rockin’ Robin tried out the K.T. Tunstall song, “Woo-hoo”; Celine, now quite the comedienne, ("Aargh!") rocked us out with some sultry Pat Benetar, and Brandon gave us back the Beatles during ‘Yesterday’. And while Rockstar Richard channeled his inner Billy Idol with ‘Rebel Yell’, Christine channeled her inner Janice with ‘Bobby McGee’.

It was a night for seeing faces from the past – Ms. Corey-Lim, and her beau Dillon, showed up after a long hiatus – props to Corey for the ‘blast from the past’ song, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone”, and to Dillon for “Santeria”!

And just when a newcomer to the CCK scene got on stage and belted out “Sympathy for the Devil”, in walks the ‘almost-original-singer-of-the-song’ himself – Joe Holland -- a ‘regular’ from the Underscore days! Rockin’ Robin and I were just talking about him – just then! And then we serendipitously turned around and there was talking to our illustrious host Ryan – we ran right for him (sorry Ryan…) shrieking like teenage girls at a rock concert – making Joe truly feel like, well, a rock star!

As always, the band ROCKED THE HOUSE! Props to Kristie Lee for her awesome backup vocals, to my “Crazy Train”, and to Alan & Joe for backin up to “What’s Up!”

Tune in next week for some more updates! And don't forget CCK's 200th Anniversary is coming up on Sunday night, August 17th! See you then!
