“Rockers are
the nicest people to photograph.
They have no inhibitions”

~ David Bailey
Photographer
Born on: 2nd January 1938

Porte Ponderings:

I will miss attending the Music Events at Busch Gardens as well as my friends at Sleepy Hollow in Zephyhills Florida, but we haven’t been able to find a trailer to rent, the Canadian Dollar sucks, and Trump will become the President in January 2025 (just too many unknowns and extremes).

Travel this year will be other places. Starting with Cuba in January and then who knows, maybe Europe?

Yes, I actually danced with Chubby Checker! Once at one of his performances at Busch Gardens Tampa. It’s one of the reasons I still love going to Busch Gardens. Their Real Music Series has some of the most amazing performances. ❤
