Two Cents and a Thousand Words

Do it a capella!

After going to Popham Beach, I headed down to Freeport to catch that Rockapella concert I was mentioning. I’m not much of a music reviewer, but in my opinion the concert was awesome.

Even though it’s been years since I first saw them on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, they sound better than ever. I guess I didn’t realize that they’d been together as a group for seventeen years. Their diverse song set ranged from ballads to rock, and they of course had to sing the Folger’s and WWCS themes for which they’re famous.

The concert was held right in front of the L.L. Bean factory store as part of their free concert series (Don McLean next week). The small park was packed with people in lawn chairs. Rockapella seemed to really enjoy the audience and the location, even though it turned out to be a little more muggy than is usual in Maine.

I hope I get to hear them again in the future. I bought one of their CDs (In Concert) and took lots of pictures, so I’ll have a good record of the concert. Too bad I don’t have a bunch of Carmen Sandiego episodes taped.
