So what the hell did happen?<\/span><\/div>\n

\"Heather<\/a><\/p>\n

Well Sweetie’s birthday for one thing. We spent the day running around doing errands and fetching stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Heather<\/a><\/p>\n

Later on we headed out to the Cherokee Hard Rock Casino<\/a> in nearby Catoosa for Sweetie’s birthday dinner at their McGills on 19<\/a> restaurant.. SuperPizzaBoy spent the evening with his Nana.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then we went to see KC and the Sunshine Band<\/a> at the Joint<\/a> at the Casino.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_7100\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Disco music was never my thing but KC put on a great show. The musicians and dancers were top notch. KC was very animated and engaging. He talked between songs a little about the up and downs of his career. “What the Hell Happened?” was the refrain all through the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_7102\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He certainly connected with his audience. His fans were into it. He put on a good show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afterwards he signed autographs. I tried to get a photo of him and Sweetie but he was across a wide counter. So this is what we got folks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The drummer, David Simmons<\/a>, who Sweetie and I both agreed may be the best drummer we have ever heard showed up and chatted up everybody in line. He is a very nice guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the bands website<\/a>. Lots of good stuff there. Old songs and photographs and all that.<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved this, a very young KC on his way up early in his career. A young man on his way up.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I love this video. It typifies the whole disco thing with the funny clothes and dancing. In 1983 disco had flamed out and KC has kind of a hard look to him.<\/span>

<\/span>KC and the Sunshine Band has had its ups and downs. I have to admire somebody who keeps on plugging away. At 61 years told KC is still in there giving it everything he has.<\/span>

<\/span>And that is What the Hell Happened yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
