The Pops Bell

This bell has traveled with the floating stage from the beginning.  When the stage was located in Bemus Point a man by the name of Gus who was the Pops handyman would ring the bell each night at sunset.  Now the bell has found its time-honored place on the floating stage in Mayville.  

A special sunset tradition.  Thank you, Gus. 

A similar sunset tradition occurs each night in Key West, Florida with folks in Mallory Square applauding the sun as it disappears below the gulf's horizon to continue setting as it moves West towards the Hawaiian Islands.  Aloha!

 A Disco Sequined Re-Cap

Boogie Wonder Band's second appearance on the floating stage in Mayville is now in the Pops history book and what a night it was!  These photos tell the disco story at the Pops far better than I could ever put into words!

In closing, if I didn't know better I would say that Boogie Wonder Band arrived via a time machine. BWB hit the stage with funk-a-licious grooves and disco-struttin' jams like they were straight out of the '70s.  BWB channels the boogie era with a full trottle high-octane live show with each band member wearing eye-popping Las Vegas-inspired costumes and flashy personas.  

They don't just hail from another land; they come from another decade .. where Disco ruled the dance floors!  If you were around in the 70s or were at the Pops last Saturday night .. then you know Disco truly ruled back then and, again, at this most recent Pops concert!  

Thank you, Boogie Cindy!
