I'm a Super Trouper!

Maybe this is going to put me at the bottom of the hip list, but since I was a baby I have had a soft spot for ABBA...(yep, I said ABBA)

I went to see a cover band singing with the Indianapolis Symphony, I couldn't hear anything from the Symphony, you couldn't even tell if they were playing at all, because the music from the cover band was drowning them out.

Now something I didn't know until I was there is which cover band was actually playing, because they hide the name of the band from every single piece of advertisement from the event, the only hints I had were: They are a very famous band, they are from Sweden, they play with some of the original musicians from the ABBA band. Pretty good hints right? WRONG!
There is more than one band with those exact characteristics, actually there are some cover bands that have their own cover bands! I'm right now thinking that maybe I should start my own band...

Back to the concert: we had a great time, we sang aloud, we danced like groupies (a spontaneous crowd appeared below the stage and had their own party, and Mr. Herb and I were there dancing like dancing queens...and kings)

Here you can see how people are still far away from the stage, just eating and looking at the band without any interaction. The smoke is from the citronella candles, I can't be thankful enough for those.

Now in this picture, you can see how close I was to the stage, that I could actually sign to the singers and they would answer back.
