My question is - when are they going to change the piped in music in nursing homes? They're still playing Big Band music. That was my parents' era music, and if they were still alive, they would be 91 and 92. Not too many of that generation left.

I went to see Joan Baez in concert . She introduced a young guy and said you will be hearing a lot from him in the future ,Bob Dylan.

 

Sorry, like' em very much but they are "Folk Rock"

 

Think in terms of artists from the "Classic Rock" genre actually playing music from the genre "Classic Rock" during Rolling Stone's heyday.

 

You're calling out your favorites from the "Folk Rock" era.

Dylan went electric at Newport and the world lived to tell about it. :cool:

True, but his music (acoustic or electric) would still not be classified as Rock 'n Roll, particularly Classic R&R. Dylan is a true legend, but a legendary Folk artist.. :)

Singing, I love rock and roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock and roll

So come and take your time and dance with me

Oooow!

 

 

Joan Jett was sooooo HOT rocking with her Gibson electric guitar. Now that's rock music.

Joan Jett was my neighbor years ago and I had the opportunity to listen to her sing on a daily basis.

Did you notice the new sticky at the top of the forum? (just what we need - another sticky!)

A few minutes ago I was thinking about upcoming October cruise on K'dam, now all I can think about is next year and getting my picture on the cover of Rolling Stone :hearteyes:

 

That's terrific! Nothing like live music.

I have not heard anyone say this after seven pages of reading so here it is...……

 

Since this new venue is going to be a cover joint they better make sure the musicians and singers are equally as talented. That being said I prefer R&R but won't have any problem walking out of a cover band I can see anywhere. I am looking forward to seeing if they can pull this off at the level they established with the blues venue.

 

Did I miss something in the press release? This venue is going to require a cover charge? How much? Do passengers have to pay each time they enter the venue? If true, are entertainment venues now going the way of the up-charge restaurant options? Could someone, like Copper, respond please?

I guess a couple of things come to mind on the Koningsdam. When BB King was in the Queens Lounge there was a dance floor. Where they are moving to, I guess the upgrade may install a dance floor where Lincoln Center Stage was. Moving Billboard Onboard to where the Oceans Bar was seems to me to be a very small venue compared to Music Walk area. It was always SRO after about 8 on our cruise. Then I guess I have to wonder about how they will alternate acts. Before Lincoln Center Stage would perform and when they were finished Billboard Onboard would start up. With 2 similar type acts within 100 feet of each other I just have to wonder how they are going to plan their sets. One good thing though. Billboard Onboard won't be subjected to the cigarette smoke drifting down from the casino anymore. Guess I'll find out how it all works out in February.

I think they're referring to cover bands, not a cover charge.
