A fun night with good friends and the Star!
ABBA concert nostalgia with Waterloo, Fernando and Dancing Queen.
The original group’s bass guitarist Mike Watson played tonight- he is the backward facing Napoleon on ABBA’s Waterloo 1974 album cover!
We got to meet the star of the show prior to the concert. Very exciting
Here’s an interview with Matilda Lindell of course she donned a fabulous blonde wig for the performance. People were dancing in the aisles.

Seen on the tour of the USS Requin submarine at the Carnegie Science Center.
I couldn’t imagine being in a submarine underwater for 3 months.
There’s a ghost sign for beer and a painted brick sign on the back of the Brillobox( Relaxed lounge serving mixed drinks & bar eats features live music, dancing & special events) from their website .
There are other choices and next time I’m meeting my friend for breakfast, I’m bringing quarters.
Ritter’s Diner on Baum Boulevard has a jukebox at every table.
We had a couple of eggs over easy, some home fries and toast. Love a diner breakfast.
It’s the first weekend in June, every year. We drove over Sunday afternoon, about a 90 minute trek from the city. We heard it was packed on Friday and Saturday but we were happy with a modest crowd.
The music energizing and festive. The dancers enjoying themselves as they zipped around the floor in the pavilion. A little rain didn’t dampen the spirit.
Watch- click One minute video of polka fest
People’s Gas Park in Johnstown was the location
Do you Polka?
Throwback Thursday. From my old Beatles magazine 1964. I was a fan.
I think I devalued it by writing on the cover 😂 – it’s sixty years old!
Attic Records in Millvale PA is a happening place. A music lovers paradise. There have to be more than a million items – vinyl records, CDs, 45s, boxed sets -You name it! Steve and I found some gems.
Ritter’s Diner breakfast? It’s been a while.
The horses, the lights, the Wurlitzer music- all of these evoke childhood memories of carousels past.
Sunday afternoon I rode the carousel at Idlewild Park
Idlewild Park came into existence when William Darlington, owner of the property, gave “the right and privilege to occupy his land for picnic purposes or pleasure grounds” to Judge Thomas Mellon, owner of the Ligonier Valley Railroad. The date was May 1, 1878”
I’ve posted other carousels these two I ride with my sister Mary. Coney Island and Jane’s Carousel in Dumbo, Brooklyn (you can click to see posts)
