1. How can we say goodbye if you never leave the stage?

That's just awesome! It takes me back to the first time I saw the Woodstock movie and saw Sha Na Na do a similar routine onstage. As a teenage rock & roll headbanger I was like "WTF was that?!". I grew up and doo wop was still there so I get it now.

I'd heard of The Cadillacs but never really heard The Cadillacs. I'll check that one off the list. Thanx for posting!
