Entertainment Line-Up 2011


Your Mother was home when you left... YOUR RIGHT... Your Father was home when you left... YOUR RIGHT... Your baby was home when you left... YOUR RIGHT. And Jody was home when you left... YOUR RIGHT... Sound Off... ONE TWO... Sound Off... THREE FOUR... Cadence Count... ONE TWO THREE FOUR ONE TWO, THREE FOUR. Did that put a knot in your knickers? A special memory and dedication goes out to all those men and women who served... VETERANS... and the theme of this years show is... SUPPORT OUR VETERANS & REMEMBER 9/11.

I know that it's a very tough time right now and everybody is feeling the pinch, squeezing those buffalo's as hard as you can, and here we come and ask you to please squeeze harder. We need your help, and that is what Americans do when times are tough, they help each other. We need to continue to provide critical services to the veterans of the five county Philadelphia area... Homeless Veterans... World War II Veterans... Korean Veterans... Vietnam Veterans... Persian Gulf Veterans... Operation Iraqi Freedom - Operation Enduring Freedom Veterans, and anybody else who served wearing the uniform of The United States of America.

PLEASE HELP OUR VETERANS! The cost to get into the show is free, the music is free, the dancin' is free, and the good times are free. So please feel free to make a donation to a wonderful cause. Make it for some special person who deserves to be remembered, or just make it to honor the men and women who have served our great country and need our help.

PLEASE HELP OUR VETERANS! Buy a raffle ticket and maybe you can win a nice prize, or just dig in to your pocket and blow the dust off some of those dollar bills you're hiding and make a donation to a wonderful cause.

Come on out and enjoy a nice slice of Americana at the:

P.S. A Cappella singers are a special breed of cat. Honing a craft that was nurtured in their youth, standing on a street corner. They sing because they love to sing. Well the Grim Reaper took a couple more "corner boys" this year... Mike "LuLu" Alullo (61), a warm and wonderful lifelong friend. Mike and I sang under a lot of lamp posts throughout the years and I will miss him dearly... Anthony "A C" Clementi (59), founding member of the "Norristones". "Ace" was very passionate about singing. He sang tenor, baritone, and lead, and he will be missed by all.
