The Jivin' Belles!

Last night a good friend of mine and I went to a backyard concert.  Her husband wasn't into it but I think he may have enjoyed it had he joined us.

Bev has a work colleague whose daughter is in a band, styled on the close, 3 part harmony inspired by the work of the Andrew sisters - the "Jivin' Belles".

He hosted a back yard concert for them. 

They performed vintage (even for aged me!) melodies designed to raise awareness and a bit of money. 

It was great fun even if the music was not necessarily "madly me".  They are talented young women, accompanied by the 'Jivin' boys'. 

A very nice way to spend a warmish-coolish May evening!

RE: Selfies - we're not doing too bad for 58 years old I think!  However, I could be delusional.  Donna and I have been friends since we were 14 years old.
