@@zoowriter4654 thank you very much I guess I didn't see him. I would think it would take a very long time to make the rank of Senior Chief in their job field. I retired from the Navy in 2016 with just over 26 and a half years but my job field had a higher turn over I assume than the music field. Not taking anything away from these people I loved seeing them perform when I was a Sailor and since I retired.

This sure is a fantastic way to keep yourself entertained amused and busy while listening to the oldies classics of the 50' ' s & 60' s music which had more meaning as real human emotions( FEELINGS & effort & ŕythymic dance movements were added into the songs and music to make the songs that more enjoyable and soothing to listen to as it was quite expressive emotionally and full of human FEELINGS and sentiments with awesome facial expressions to make it that more meaningful and entertainni g and enjoyable to listen to.
