Our pinnacle "America's Band" moment! Lotta flaws, but warmth enough to watch again. 🤩

[@charlesaltemose2791]

You Guys ARE America's Band!! Love how You engage the audience. Fun for ALL!!

[@jessicaallen901]

Hope you guys are are enjoying your retirement. Thanks again for so many years of great memories ❤

My dear wife's a great audience, and I sing around the house habitually, but the applause and the paydays have no equivalent. I'll always resent how the public acquiesced as "the government" damaged mankind with the "pandemic" scheme, which became the beginning of our ending (after some other partners' health considerations also got in the way). 😞

​@@donnyyork2149 I totally agree the last few years this world has really gone south 🙃😟 and things definitely haven't been the same. I know Lennie and my other loved ones whom I've got to know and love and care for a great deal who have left this world to a MUCH better place wouldn't want to come back and I know we shall see them again 🙏❤️ also hope you and your wife are doing well. My thoughts and prayers are always with you 😊

It's so nice of you to comment the videos. I even didn't know Sha na na one month ago. Best regards from Paris (in France)

Thanks for posting this. Never seen this video / performance before. I'm a close friend of Lennie Baker's from this group and he did Blue Moon fantastic as always in this. I miss Lennie everyday since he went to heaven I'll know I'll see my buddy again there one day ❤

[@donnyyork2149]

Lennie acquitted himself wonderfully here!

[@jessicaallen901]

Nice to see a few of the originals from what is truly America's band still in action. Missing a few of the others, but happy to seeing those who remained celebrating the USA.

Donny, Jocko, and Screamin' Scott stuck it out until just a year or two ago~ Covid restrictions were basically the demise of the band as a touring act~

[@padraiggillon]

Chico Ryan the bass player was in a coma in a nursing home at this time. I know this because I was working in the facility where he was on life support. He died a couple of weeks after this.

[@johnmarlin7269]

@@padraiggillon Wow. Thanks.

[@melissasmith195]

I noticed a lot of Sha Na Na members not exactly there including one of their most iconic members Bowser.

[@Buttermilkjug]

Bowzer had left the band by this time, along with several others from the television show lineup~
