Once again it's that
time of the year to Cruise to Sandpoint where the Hot Rods, Classic
Cars and Rock n' Roll burst into "Lost in the 50's Weekend" like a
time machine. It's a cool beginning to the Cruisin' Season of
2008.
 Come
and join us in our 23rd year of Rockin' this town, we hope to see
you here because it wouldn't be a party without you!!
Gary Puckett grew up in Yakima,
Washington and Twin Falls, Idaho where he started playing in bands
while in high school. He had a couple of groups that never quite got
off the ground, deciding that they needed a gimmick of sorts
that would make them stand out, they went with a military motif.
They chose the blue and gold civil war uniform and took the name
from a historic town in Washington called "Union Gap"! From then on
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had some very impressive hits.
The first one was "Woman, Woman" reaching (#4) on the Billboard
Hot 100 followed by "Young Girl" (#2), "Lady Willpower" (#2), "Over
You" (#7), "Don't Give In To Him" (#15), and "This Girl Is A Woman
Now" (#9).
Although Peggy began
performing professionally at the age of 5 she was discovered at the
age of 13, only 4'10" at the time and her birthday was in March
hence came the name Little Peggy March! In 1963, Peggy was 14 and
the youngest female artist with a (#1) Smash Hit
record "I Will Follow Him". This song has not only
been tested by time but she has sang it in at least 6 different
languages and had a (#1) Hit worldwide with it! This year will be
Peggy's return to Sandpoint after a very long time and can be sure
that she will Rock the house. And who better to rock the house
with..... who kicks the "Beat" into "Lost in the
50's"... (our town's Heart and Soul) .... The Greatest Band
in the USA............. Florida's Infamous ROCKY AND THE
ROLLERS!!!
