On Monday night the Kingston Trio performed at Savannah Center. Ray isn't into folk music so I asked my friend Micki if she wanted to go with me and she gave me an enthusiastic yes.
We had good seats and it was a full house. The Kingston Trio were great, but an absolutely horrible warm-up act opened for them. I did not catch what they called themselves, but I hope I never have to sit through their show again. It was the longest half hour I have ever experienced. The act consisted of 2 men, one with a guitar and the other on drums, doing bad impersonations and even worse jokes. This was the first time I've attended any concert here that had an opening act. I guess known recording artists expect this, but I would rather have given all my admission price to the trio.
We were very relieved when the Kingston Trio came on stage. They played their 2 guitars and 1 banjo, with a bass guitar backing them up. Their harmony was right on. Although they only played 2 songs that I actually remembered, the music was great throughout. They did a 2 song encore and we left on a positive note.
