Flower Power Cruise: Day Four

Ray

The problem with trying to write blog posts while on the Flower Power Cruise is that there is not time to write because there are so many events to attend.  That is really not a problem, though, is it?  We have had so much fun that we have signed up to go on the Flower Power Cruise 2017.

This seemed to be the table where the Buckinghams liked to have breakfast.

Day four was busy with two Q&A sessions, a TV Guide presentation of Then and Now, Wine Tasting with Micky Dolenz and Gary Puckett, and an awesome concert by The Guess Who.  There was a Psychedelic '60s Dance Party at 11:00 in the evening.  I wanted to get some pictures of it, but there was a fog machine doing its thing and so all of the pictures are like looking through a purple haze.  I did not stay long because we have a busy day in Key West tomorrow.

Q&A Session with Felix Cavaliere and members of the Guess Who and The Grass Roots

The Question and Answer sessions were fun.  We tried to get there early enough to get a decent seat.  These were quite popular and filled up quickly.  We learned a lot of interesting trivia about the guests.  Mark Lindsay told about living in the house where the Manson Murders took place.  He had moved from there a short time before the horrible murders.  He said that once, when friends of friends were visiting he noticed a strange man sitting in front of the refrigerator.  Mark Lindsay asked someone who this man was and the answer was, "Oh that's Charlie, he's okay."  Of course, Charlie was not okay.  It sounded like it really gave Mark Lindsay the creeps knowing he had met Manson and also that if he (Lindsay) had not moved, he might have been at the house when the Manson Family killed Sharon Tate and four other people.

Gary Puckett

Gary Puckett was singing at the same venue as Red Foxx.  Puckett approached Foxx after the show and said something like, "Thanks, loads for making fun of my name."  Red Foxx replied, "It's better than having Don Rickles call you a hockey puck.

Ray and I like to go to the wine tastings on a cruise.  This cruise had special guests join us:  Micky Dolenz and Gary Puckett.  Gary Pucket brought a pretty woman with him, but we never found out if she was his wife or girlfriend.  Here are a few pictures of the wine tasting.

Or course, we brought Cy along for the wine tasting.

After dinner we headed to the theater for The Guess Who concert.  I have already said that it was awesome.  People were dancing in the aisles and, of course, singing along.  The pictures will tell the rest of the story.

Day Five will be spent at Key West, and then packing everything for departure.  It has been so much fun and still one more day to go!
