West Point Concert

The Independence Weekend concert and fireworks at Trophy Point on the West Point campus. The US Army West Point band and singers performed. It was a fabulous evening with the Hudson River Valley as the backdrop. Great fireworks to end the evening.

The new Class of 2023 cadets, 1201 strong, marched in. They are in the white shirts in front of the stage. It was the end of their first week of training.

Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl

One of the best “sing it loud songs” ever. I still love to turn up the radio and sing the chorus with gusto. 🙂 Poor Brandy. Oh, but the terrible fashions from 1970. The lead singer looks like he is channeling Alice Cooper, without the eye makeup. And the bare chest—Eeek.
