What a night!

Saturday night at Mershon Auditorium for a Donny Osmond concert with my sister. In 1972, we saw Donny outdoors at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. He didn’t seem to remember us. But for a few moments, I thought maybe I was seeing the Beetles. A packed auditorium of old women squealing for Donny. He was a truly incredible showman. 65 albums! He spent about 45 minutes letting people in the audience request any of his songs. He still remembered most of them. And if anyone picked a song from “little” Donny, he would do a duet with his younger voice. It was an amazing show covering all the twists and turns in his career. But I still couldn’t get over the reaction for this guy that’s about 70 years old. I mean, imagine if Manager Jim was up on stage with a microphone singing a few tunes. I’m not sure he’d get the same reaction.
