Swingin Sixties Dance, MoonGoat Coffee Roasters, November 4, 2023

We had a great time traveling back to the sixties. Donny and the Walkers gave us lots of new and old favorites. There were sixties outfits with hairdos and go-go boots. Do you remember those days?

Sunny was back and sounding great with a new tune, La Bamba. This was our first time at MoonGoat’s new facility. There was more space, and we could stay later. Donny and the Walkers played three sets, ending at 11 pm.

Shut the Barn Door Dance, Knowlwood Restaurant, October 7, 2023

We had a great time again at Knowlwood with Lorin celebrating her birthday! Lorin invited family and friends and got to sing some extra songs because Sunny was attending a friend’s wedding. Our great fans were a bit late in arriving on a beautiful Saturday with many entertainment options. However, the barn filled up, and it was a great evening of song and dance. There were some new vocals with Sunny missing. I’ll have them posted soon.

Tropical Nights Dance at MoonGoat Coffee ~ August 12, 2023; 7-9:30 PM

Tropical Nights Dance, MoonGoat Coffee Roasters, August 12, 2023

Although it was a wonderful warm evening, the AC was cranking, and it was cool inside. Being a lazy summer day in August, the dancers were a little slow arriving, but eventually, with Donny and the Walkers sounding great, the shop was full and swinging. We took some time to wish Donny and Ben happy birthdays. With all the dancing, the evening went by too quickly.
Ten o’clock rolled in, and after tidying up the coffee shop and packing up the band, we were asked to leave. Over twenty folks came to mix it up at Norm’s for food, socializing, and Sequence. Beyond the Cinderella hour, only serious gamers remained.

Let’s Do Dinner and a Dance at Knowlwood Restaurant ~ July 29, 2023; 6-9 PM

We had a delightful first dance at Knowlwood Restaurant. Thanks to everyone who came and supported Knowlwood. We kept the kitchen busy with a sizable line waiting to order for most of the evening.

The well-rounded menu has breakfast all day, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, Mexican, seafood, ice cream, and other dessert goodies. The old blacksmith shop had a variety of antiques and memorabilia to check out.

The venue had good acoustics for Donny, Sunny, Audrey, Chris, and Peter. The vocalists Nick, Grant, Greg, Judi, Scott, and Lorin enjoyed the sound and a full floor of dancers. The dance floor was large, but the band and vocalists kept it filled.

Band and guest vocalists

Just in time for the dance, summer finally arrived on Saturday with sunny skies during the day and temps in the upper seventies. It was a wonderful evening for a dance at MoonGoat Coffee with Donny and the Walkers. Great music by the band, plenty of people to dance with, a full house but not crowded, and social time with the band and friends afterward at Norm’s. It was another great evening in Costa Mesa!

A chorus line! Always something new with Donny and the Walkers!

Silky’s Secret Dance at Silky Sullivan’s ~ June 9, 2023; 8:45-11 PM

The secret is out!

It was a fun Friday evening at Silky’s. Donny, Sunny, and Audrey had a great drummer and bass player, and they delivered a great evening of dance music for us with the guest vocalists.
