as a projectionist in the Rolla (ND) movie Theatre in the 50’s, which always played 33 1/3 records (very large CDs, according to my granddaughter) before the movies, I think that you should do either the Platters or Ricky Nelson next. Don Leonard

Well, I hate to over inflate egos, but then again, this is awesome. Wish I could have been there in person. As a person who was in high school in the 1950’s, I have to say you did it right. I remember that song well. Next I want to hear “A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation”. You guys have the motions right, right down to finishing on your knees and Mark’s final click of the fingers.
Now if only there were a way to find white buck shoes for your costumes. but I’m afraid that any still in existence would be expensive. (find early pictures of Pat Boone). Girls and Guys alike wore white bucks which were really a suede. (Elvis had blue suede in his song.) Thanks for the treat.

Total rock stars! How come Pastor Will didn’t slick his hair back like the rest of you? Oh wait. Never mind. Jacob liked the performance too. He was pretty impressed with his cool Grandpa.

unfortunately??? I happen to think that Bob Wiers is a handsome man.

I just have to say that, unfortunately, Matt looks amazingly like a young Bob Wiers.

Eva liked it a lot, and she has a very good ear for good music. Nice work!

I just watched it again. I love all the camera flashes at the end. I’ll be honest, I think we’re rock stars now. We need to go trash a hotel room or something.

I’m going to have to wash my pillow cover this morning after having all of that product in my hair. I think I could have started a grease fire.
