Happy
Trails resorts brings in entertainment a couple of times a month during the
winter and this was our first time attending one of the events. We hadn’t been interested in many of the
attractions but when we found out that Herman’s Hermits featuring Peter Noone (Herman, the lead singer) would be here, we purchased tickets for the late afternoon show.
There are usually 2 shows per event, one at 4
p.m. and one at 7 p.m.
Well,
it certainly was worthwhile and we really enjoyed the performance. They opened the show with a local comedian
who was quite good—always a challenge to make an audience laugh. Most of the 200+ people in the audience were
fans of Herman’s Hermits but the couple beside me didn’t know who they were,
they just bought tickets for something to do.

The
performance was a mix of their original hits (Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely
Daughter and Henry the 8th) but they also did other songs from the
mid 1960’s. In addition to the songs,
Peter Noone told some funny stories, did some imitations (Johnny Cash, Tom
Jones and Mick Jagger) and interacted with the audience. People clapped and sang along with the
favourites and had a really good time.

It
brought back memories for both us as we were just getting interested in popular
music back in those days. A blast from
the past. Some of their hits:
