Teen Idol Tour Concert Photos

We had a tremendous weekend in Boston. We ate steamed lobster and clams for dinner on Friday night with Cathy Dougert, Crystal Shiner, Ellen and Cora also joined us for a while. On Saturday we went to Salem in the morning to see some of the "Witch City." Then on to the luncheon organized by Betty Peabody. There was an amazing turnout with over 60 Bobby Babes in attendance. Many people made generous donations of Bobby memoribilia and wonderful items for the auction. The silent auction raised over $1,600.00 for Bobby's EMT Foundation.

The beautiful quilts made by Joyce Spangler were really quite impressive. I was lucky enough to win the bid on one of the pillows she made to match the quilts. I have sealed it in plastic and will treasure it always.

Suzie and Nancy were escorted to the luncheon by "Mr. Stud" the inflatable teen idol. He serves as our guest of honor by proxy. Several door prizes were won too.

After the luncheon we went back to the hotel and took a nice cool swim. About 7pm we met up with Cathy and Crystal and headed for the North Shore Music Theater. Our seats were section F, Row A. That's the second row, because there is a Row AA. The stage is round and the center of it revolves. The outer edge, about 18" wide is stationary.

I didn't get to kiss him this time, darn it. But he did stop right in front of me and point to me, gave me a little wink and a wave. I also got to hand him some red roses too. I'm happy just to know that he knew I was there. Bobby's show was great. He seemed really touched by the quilt from Joyce Spangler and offered her a kiss. The band surprised Bobby by playing "Happy Birthday" and the whole audience stood up and sang it to him. He was so gracious and it was a beautiful moment. Happy 56th Bobby!

Micky is beginning to grow on me now. I still really miss Davy though. Micky is just now beginning to experience the gift giving thing. He didn't seem to want to stop the show to accept the flowers and gifts at first. The audience had to keep insisting that he go over and accept the quilt. He seemed extremely surprised by it too. His sister Coco took charge of it and layed it over the speakers to display it to the crowd.

Peter came bounding out and gave his usual high energy performance. He even sang a new song just for the Bobby Babes. He said he saw many of the Bobby Babes who had attended every Teen Idol Tour and he wanted to give them something new. It was great.
