Wanted to share with everyone that Pam and I had a very special evening this past Thursday night. It was too much fun! We, along with 2500+ people (mostly in the 50 -60 age bracket), went back 35 years in time and listened to Peter Frampton at the Murat Theatre here in Indianapolis. In Pam’s own words, “WOW!"
Pam didn’t recognize Peter when he first took the stage. He’s traded in those long curly, golden locks for a white ring around his bald head. But, man, oh man, he sure hasn’t traded in that voice. He sounded just as good as when he first recorded “Frampton Comes Alive.” In case you are wondering, Pam looked it up and confirmed that he’ll be 62 next month. At the concert, he and his group played the entire “Frampton Comes Alive” album and then shared some new stuff. (His rendition of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun was awesome!) Loved how he kept referring to “Me Comes Alive” throughout the night. He played for almost 3 hours and was sure having fun up there!
Speaking of fun, I have to tell on Pam. There were two 60-something guys in front of us who were hysterical. Looked like they came right off their Harleys. Pam couldn’t keep her eyes off of them. Actually, they provided us with some additional entertainment all night long.
A couple of times, Pam was threatening to throw her “cranial prosthesis” on the stage. For those of you who didn’t catch it from the first blog on Jan. 31, that’s what she calls her “wig.” She restrained herself. As you can tell from the attached photo from before the concert, she looks great in her new hair. By the way, we have no idea who the guy behind Pam was. He saw the camera and decided to jump in. Does anyone recognize him?
You know I was thinking about Pam and Peter Frampton. They have a lot more in common than just a lack of hair right now. Both have wonderful smiles and an incredible love and gift of music. Pam was amazed at what he was able to do and kept pointing out the difficulty for any musician at any age to play the rock and acoustic guitars the way he did. I had my very own music expert right beside me.
Pam, you do amaze me. You have been so strong and have had such a positive attitude. You are doing so well with the treatment. You continue to smile. You do rock, girlfriend, and thanks for sharing a special night with me. Next week, make sure you play some Frampton for Dr. Bhatia! (He had no idea who Peter Frampton was!) J
