While we were eating. . .

The other night Mark and I went out to the Casino to get his free birthday buffet and $10 to play.  We aren't gamblers and actually only played the money they gave us and came home with $13.  I know. . .Big Spenders.  Anyway, we were there a bit early and went to check out the pool.  There was a line up at the pool and a sign that it closed at 6 for the concert.  Okay!  One of the men in line said to us, "Right now they are doing a sound check, the concert is at 8."  I replied, "Oh good, we just want to look at the pool!" and we walked in.  We did recognize the song playing, but didn't know the band.  Off we went to the buffet.  We were there about 20 minutes when we noticed some guys standing outside the room.  Mark mentioned that they looked like they were in a band.  Then, they were led into the room where we were and seated right behind us, with security.  We still had no clue, so when they got up I mouthed to the ladies by us, who were going ga ga and asked them who they were.  It was. . .are you ready. . .Peter Noone with Herman's Hermits.  I know, that didn't mean anything to us either.  We were seated closest to them, so a couple ladies kept "joining" us for supper to get pictures.  All in all, it was pretty hilarious.  I made Mark go out to the Swagger to get my camera.  I couldn't post this without pics.  I even put a couple of there songs on the playlist, so if you have your speakers on, you are listening to them.  I love Mark's expression in the second picture.
