P.S. ....
Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - 24K Gold Music Shows. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc.
"Please Mr. Postman" originally by the Marvelettes
Impossible Dream (Elvis song)
Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun,
happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and
don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that!
