Paging Dr. Drake….Dr. Noah Drake

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the other (some would say better) concert we went to this week. Rick Springfield performed at the Saratoga Mountain Winery on Sunday night.  With all the crappy summer weather we have been having we were lucky enough to have a great night under the stars.   Met up with Marie and Ron and had a little parking lot picnic before the show. Great views of the Almaden and Coyote Valleys of San Jose. Ron had prepared a picnic dinner fit for a king! And feast like kings we did. Food and drink all around while electricity filled the air with Springfield mania. Well not really, but it sure was a nice night. Sat down right as the show was starting.   I must say, Rick Springfield did put on a good show. The intimate setting of the winery seemed to surprise him cuz he said “my living room is bigger than this”.  He played all his hits.  “Jessie’s Girl”, “I’ve done everything for you, you’ve done nothing for me”, and “Don’t talk to strangers” were the ones I recognized.  After 30 years in the business, Rick knows how to work a crowd, and work it he did.  Not that he had to win anyone over.  Everyone that was there was there for a good time and a good time was had by all.  By the time Rick was playing his encore, Ron and I were up and getting a couple of Jessie’s Girls T-shirts for the Girls.
