The web link below holds the key to some great memories of last night's concert in Oshkosh at the Leach Ampitheatre. The source is the Post-Crescent Photo Section. http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=U0&Date=20090730&Category=OSH01&ArtNo=907300814&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1 People lined up to get in, as talented photographer, Shu-Ling Zhou, captured some superb images as Oshkosh, Wisconsin went back to the 60s for a definite British-themed evening. The Britins opened the evening in full Beatles costume attire and hair-cut, followed by Herman's Hermits starring Barry Whitwam, and evening headliners, The Buckinghams, Chicago natives with the name that sounded British. The Union Jack up on stage was reminiscent of when the producers of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour thought The Bucks were British and had that as decoration when the band performed on their show. At least in Oshkosh, everyone was British for the evening.

JOEY ALKES: We worked in the same act years ago in Denver, Colorado. We're talking 76-78. Chris wrote some tunes with these two characters I managed and produced.
