This past Sun. night, the Irreverent Reverend Colin started off the night, w/some Macy Gray; John D. rocked out Cold Play's "Viva la Vida"...

...one of the blogstress' favorite songs!! Rockin' Robin rocked out some Bonnie Raitt, to a standing 'o'!!

Steve wowed with "Don't Stop Believin'";

Ron K. (the Direc-TOR) and the band did 'G-L-O-R-I-A";

Corey Lim sang "Come to My Window";

Showtime Shon sang "Summertime"; I tried "Blue Bayou", for some reason thinking it was the Linda Ronstadt version...

...it was actually the Roy Orbison version...oh well, it's all good yo...

Dylan sang "American Girl";

Oscar-'rino', who sang "Creep" surprised us all by showing up...sans hair!!

Davey Monster sang "Truckin'"; Joanne sang Joe Mitch's 'favorite song', "99 Luft Balloons", mixin' it up w/some German as well...

and Mr. Jimmy rocked out w/"Tangled Up in Blue".

Rockin' Robin rocked out "Magic Man"; Colin sang some Al Green; Steven rocked out one of John D.'s favorites, "Man in the Box"; Randy Andy wrote in my blog ntbk., "Wow. Doesn't Andy rock!!!" Yes, he does rock! Even if he did say before I left, "Hey Latour, I'm hungry - how 'bout getting us some food!" To which Andrea reprimanded him first, by givin' him a little slap upside the head w/her bare hand, then graduating to using various bar items... not sure if I'll be ordering a martini anytime soon...

Anyway, Ron K. 'ron k.d' up "No Woman No Cry"; John D., who was coined 'The Trouble-maker' by the band, sang "Feel Like Makin' Love"; Corey Lim sang a very pretty "Imagine"; Yvonne rocked out with "Proud Mary";

Ted had the whole place up and dancing with "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" - way to go Ted!!

Oscar gave us some Zeplin; Mike sang "Don't You Forget About Me", and Myron had everyone up again and dancing to a newly added Smashing Pumpkins song,
