 Remembering the 60's at Emerald Desert


 One of our evening events that took place during our stay at Emerald Desert RV Resort in Palm Desert California was "Remembering the 60's" .  This was an evening with four impersonators from Las Vegas.  We had a delicious catered meal, and then the fun began.  Barbara Striesand, Dion Warwick, Paul Anka and Neil Diamond were there to entertain us.

 Oh what memories it brought back.... and  new memories we made that evening!  We sang  along and danced too!  We happened to be at a table right up front, so we did have the best seats in the house. Thanks to our firends Rita and Frank McClernon ( they are early birds to every event to make sure that we had a good seat).  We were also joined by our  friends from Canada Linda and Bob Hummel.  (Linda is the best kareoke partner, she knows all the songs!)

The  entertainment opened with Paul Anka, followed by Dion which is when the fun really began.  Dion had everyone singing and then plucked Bob out of the audience to dance with her!   Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard I cried.  Bob was a perfect gentleman and danced  like a pro,,, although I don't think he is ready for the real "Dancing with the Stars".

Bob just as Dion  pulled him up to dance Ha Ha it was too funny!
When Neil got up on stage, he said he needed a lady to sing to, up close and very personal.   We all  pointed to Linda and Neil whisked her up to the front.  This was hilarious, as Linda started fanning herself and stated he smelled so good!   She was the perfect partner, she knew the words to all his songs.

We had such a wonderful evening.  We also made what I hope will be lasting friendships for years to come.
