You know you had a fun regatta when a neighbor of the club post on the BSC Facebook page how much fun she had listening to our live music on Saturday night. In particular, she mentioned Tate and Kat Beckham’s rendition of Wild Thing! Both have great voices and it is really fun to hear them sing together. Also fun to hear everything from Bob “Dylan” McCormick's attempt at "The Times They are a Changing" to Alex Paget's very funny R rated and politically incorrect songs. And of course, Buddy Wainwright, who makes the whole thing happen, sang numerous crowd pleasing songs. I was disappointed Carrie Elizabeth Krumdieck didn't perform this year until Capt'n K told me she was trying out for the X Factor in New Orleans (we knew her when) Good Luck!
