The Buckinghams in Concert

We were in Morristown, NJ on Thursday night and had the day off on Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, so we traveled to Ground Zero in NYC to pay tribute and remember those for whom this beautiful tribute was constructed. It is breathtaking, solemn, respectful, and magnificent as a memorial. The photos of us were taken by one of New York's Finest, and we appreciate him for that and for what he does every day.

Our friend Karen Materik and a few of her friends came to one of The Buckinghams' favorite places to play--the Village of Bolingbrook. These are the pictures she took. Bolingbrook Mayor Roger C. Claar knows how to throw a party, no doubt about it.

One of the biggest highlights for The Buckinghams is to be able to get off the road and perform in their hometown, where fans who've loved them since the beginning drive over, as well as many longtime fans will cross state lines just to get to the great kind of party that Bolingbrook throws. There's not just two generations of fans here; recently a little one-year-old fan was sporting a t-shirt that said, "Future drummer." Why not? Everyone loves the drummer, right, Rocky?

This beautiful theatre-in-the-round welcomed many familiar faces this year as well as some great new friends. We shared the stage with our friends, Tommy James & The Shondells, Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone, and Grass Roots, with Mark Dawson, Dusty Hanvey, Larry Nelson, and Joe Dougherty.
