Saw the Wiggles today.

Well, caught the Wiggles in Kansas City, MO this afternoon. Had a blast. You aint lived till you have seen a mob of 3 to 5 year olds charge the stage. It was really quite a bit of fun. Played mostly their greatest hits so I was able to sing along. My daughter was absolutely thrilled. BTW, I met their guitar tech (yeah, they actually have one) who told me on this leg of the tour the Wiggles have been on the road for seven months and are now taking off for Japan. They are the third largest grossing music act from Australia right behind the Bee Gees and AC/DC.

Good for you. I had fun when we saw them last month too. It's a real kick watching kids have a good time. Even Murray, the guitar player, hammed it up for the parents (and maybe some kids) by playing the intro to "Stairway To Heaven". We'll see them again the next time they're in town.

Yeah, Murray broke into the Stairway intro (which did bringall the adults to their feet) right before launching into a blistering version of Play Your Guitar with Murray. Loved watching the kids dance, sing and even play a little air guitar.
