Our weekly roller skating parties every Saturday morning in the school gym was where the music bug really hit me. Yep, I was the king of cool! Each time the school threw one of these dances, they always wound up being the same - girls on one side of the gym, boys on the other, until the last two songs when we all worked up the nerve to get out on the dance floor together, then clamored for it not to end. It consisted of red cotton pants with a red, big-collared shirt and a red and gray sleeveless sweater vest my aunt knitted for me. My mom went out and bought me a new outfit for this major first foray into the "dating" scene. In the sixth grade, we began having school dances.
My 10-year-old friends and I could not get enough of Tommy James & The Shondells' smash hits "Hanky Panky" and "Mony Mony," as we acted cool and mouthed the words to six plays a day of each song. In the fifth grade at Our Lady of the Angels school (the one that had a tragic fire in 1958 that took the lives of 92 students and three nuns), we had a jukebox in the "social room" of the gymnasium. He even had that large, white-plastic earpiece in when we went to the games at Wrigley Field, always sitting in the expensive $7 box seats.

It always intrigued me because we had the radio turned up and the TV volume down when watching Chicago Cubs and Bears games. As a fledgling Italian-American 5-year old, my musical exposure was basically a combination of watching Tom Jones on television singing "What's New, Pussycat" (as my girl cousins and aunts baby-sat for me, screaming at the top of their lungs) and the sounds of Sinatra' "My Way," which my dad would belt out in between innings as we listened to Cubs games on the AM radio.ĭad always had that little transistor radio in his shirt pocket where pens should have been. Music started for me much like most of us who grew up in and around that era. Up until then, I rocked-out to my favorite albums from 1976 and '77, including "Foghat Live," Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" (Kashmir), "Leftoverture" by Kansas, "A New World Record" by The Electric Light Orchestra, "Songs From The Wood" from Jethro Tull and Peter Frampton's blockbuster "Frampton Comes Alive." Yeah, I'd say I was a young rock 'n' roller.
It was a difficult time for me, as I was just a sophomore in high school when "Saturday Night Fever" came out in 1977. People today know me pretty much as a rocker, but there was a fleeting moment when I was almost forced to "pick a team" - disco or rock. Oh, and maybe watch a rerun of, “Saturday Night Fever” before you come – just to set the mood.I have always loved music … all kinds of music. Then again, maybe just jeans or shorts and a 70’s looking’ T-shirt :). The band and their show bring back an unforgettable era of great music! If you’re looking for a concert that will take you back in time this is it! You might want to break out the white bell bottoms, low neck shirt (for the guys) with the 8 inch collars or perhaps a leisure suit. Close your eyes and The Bee Gees are THERE in the theater. In addition, they perform softer poetic ballads “I Started a Joke”, “Massachusetts”, “Fanny Be Tender”, and “To Love Somebody”, among other great hits.

Stayin Alive offers songs and sights of a full Bee Gees play list, singing blockbusters hits such as “Night Fever”, Jive Talkin, “How Deep Is Your Love”, You Should Be Dancing”, “Nights On Broadway”, and “Stayin Alive”. The performance captures a full history of the Bee Gees music beginning with the 1967 breakout album “Bee Gees First”. Every once in a while, you get this powerhouse combination of sounds GREAT, looks GREAT, stage presence is GREAT, show is GREAT, light show is GREAT!!! You’ll have a night like this with this Bee Gees Tribute Band, “Stayin’ Alive! The vocal match of Todd Sharman, Tony Mattina, and Joseph Janisse, to the Gibb Brothers, Barry, Robin, and Maurice creates an eerie sense of seeing the Bee Gees live in concert.
