HI CAPRICORN PRINCESS,
WHAT'S UP? GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU. NO, GIRL--I DIDN'T TAKE PICTURES. IT'S NOT THAT I FORGOT-I DIDN'T TAKE A CAMERA BECAUSE A GIRL WHO WENT WITH ME TOOK HERS AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING PICTURES. SHE PUT IN NEW FILM-BUT FORGOT TO CHECK THE BATTERIES AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO USE THE CAMERA -IT WAS DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. I WAS TRUELY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SOME GOOD SHOTS. CAN'T BLAME HER TOO MUCH BECAUSE I DID SOMETHING SIMILAR WHEN I WENT TO LOUISVILLE. I BROUGHT A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA AND THEN COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE IT BECAUSE I LEFT THE INSTRUCTIONS AT HOME. BELIEVE ME I'LL BE BETTER PREPARED THE NEXT TIME I SEE THEM.
THE SHOW WAS FANTASTIC. IT WAS AT A DINNER THEATER WHICH MADE IT A REAL NICE ATMOSPHERE. THE FIRST SHOW STARTED AT 8:00-THEY WORE ALL WHITE-WHITE SUITS, SHOES, SHIRT,ETC. THE SHOW STARTED AS USUAL WITH STANDING ON THE TOP. BY THE TIME THE FIRST SONG WAS FINISHED--THE AUDIENCE WAS ALREADY PUMPED UP. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD, RECEPTIVE CROWD WITH VARIOUS AGE GROUPS. AGES RANGED FROM REALLY YOUNG CHILDREN ALL THE WAY UP TO ABOUT 65. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE SO MANY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THIS TYPE OF SETTING--BUT THEY REALLY SEEMED TO ENJOY THE SHOW. ONE LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE WITH ME (WE WERE SO CLOSE ,THE TABLE WAS PRACTICALLY ON THE STAGE) GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION. EACH ONE OF THE GUYS SANG DIRECTLY TO HER. THIS KID COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 6 OR 7--BUT SHE WAS REALLY ENJOYING EVERY SECOND OF THIS ATTENTION. IT WAS REALLY A FANTASTIC SHOW AND WHEN DENNIS DID "NATURALLY" I THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE MY MIND--IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I'VE SEEN THE REVIEW FIVE TIMES THIS YEAR AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE NATURALLY--SO THIS WAS REALLY A PLEASANT SURPRISE. THE AUDIENCE REALLY LOVED IT. IM HOPING FROM THE APPLAUSE AND RECEPTION THEY RECEIVED--THEY WILL START ADDING NATURALLY BACK TO ALL THE SHOWS. AND GURL--THE WAY YOUR MAN MR. C CARRIED ON WITH "I WISH IT WAS RAIN" WAS DOWNRIGHT SINFUL. EVERYBODY WENT CRAZY. THE MAN REALLY SANG. IN FACT HE SHOWED OUT ALL NIGHT. AT ONE POINT-HE JUMPED OFF THE STAGE AND WENT DOWN AND SAT ON A WOMAN'S LAP AND SANG DIRECTLY TO HER--NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE WAS ON CLOUD NINE. SHE WAS NO MORE GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. IT WAS FUNNY JUST WATCHING HER. THE NEXT REAL HIGHLIGHT WAS WHEN DENNIS STARTED TALKING ABOUT 9/11 AND SANG
"GOD BLESS AMERICA ". IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL-PARTICULARY SINCE THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 WAS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY. PEOPLE GOT UP AND STARTED WAVING THEIR NAPKINS IN THE AIR, HUGGING EACH OTHER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE CRYING. YOU KNOW THEY GOT A STANDING OVATION AFTER THAT ONE. NO SOONER THAN EVERYBODY SAT BACK DOWN THEY STARTED MY GIRL AND EVERYBODY WAS BACK ON THEIR FEET AGAIN DOING THE TEMPTATION WALK WHICH ENDED THE FIRST SHOW. IT WAS ABOUT A 30 MINUTE INTERMISSSION AND THEN THE SECOND SHOW STARTED. THIS TIME THEY HAD ON MELLON COLOR SUITES, WHITE SHIRTS (LIKE A TEE SHIRT) AND MELLON AND OFF WHITE SHOES. THEY HAD A PIECE OF SILVER JEWERLY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THEIR SUITS THAT JUST SPARKLED IN THE DIM LIGHTS. THEY ALL LOOKED REALLY GOOD. I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THAT THE SECOND SHOW WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SHOW--BUT IT WASN'T. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ABOUT THREE SONGS IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME SHOW. I'VE SEEN THEM BEFORE AT THIS SAME VENUE AND THE SECOND SHOW WAS WHEN DENNIS WOULD DO A SONG FOR YOU, MEMORIES, DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER AND A LOT MORE. NOT REALLY SURE WHY THEY DID THE SAME SHOW--IT PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH DENNIS' LEG BEING IN PAIN THAT HE LET THE OTHER GUYS DO MORE OF THIER SONGS RATHER THAN SPOTLIGHTING HIMSELF. IN ANY EVENT--I BELEIVE THE AUDIENCE FELT LIKE I DID--AND DIDN'T MIND AT ALL SEEING IT ALL OVER AGAIN. AT THE END OF THE SHOW THEY TOOK ABOUT 10 EXTRA MINUTES TO SHAKE HANDS WITH WHOEVER WANTED TO COME UP TO THE STAGE AND ALSO TOOK TIME WITH THE LITTLE GIRL I TOLD YOU ABOUT PREVIOUSLY IN THE WHEELCHAIR.
AFTER DOING A 3 HOUR PERFORMANCE WHICH IM SURE THEY MUST HAVE BEEN TIRED--THEY WERE ALL JUST AS SWEET AS PIE WHEN ME AND MY FRIENDS WENT BACK STAGE AFTER THE SHOW TO SAY HELLO.
SORRY YOU WEREN'T THERE. IT WAS TRUELY A WONDERFUL EVENING.

And Mr. Sea was in some other's woman's lap?
Uh, oh! He's lucky that CP didn't catch him! 
looked good in that melon suit. Those are one of my favorites! Gurl, you know you are supposed to have that camera ready at all times. Next time, do the camera check thing before the show! What I enjoy most about Dennis' shows, they have the ability to get you UP! Each time I have seen him, everyone is on their feet, begging and screaming for more. I saw them at a park last summer and there were children there about 8 or 9 years old and were singing right along with them...knew all the words and moves. I think Tempts music is timeless simply because it is good clean music that everyone can relate to. Eight to eighty...at another show I saw a friend's mother and she was on her feet grooving to the music. I was shocked 
I guess your review will have to tide me over til the next time. I see CP didn't appreciate David Sea sitting in another woman's lap. Well, she should have been there.
