Joey Dee & The Startliters? how cool!

Astoria Park can be hard to get to if you have to use public transportation, but once you are there, summer offers you endless fun times. Today is the last day for concerts. 


But Yesterday, Joey Dee & The Startliters had an amazing performance. I know little about American culture but this band knows how to shake up a crowd.  The 70 years-old lead singer has more stamina than me and my generation together. Queensmites seat calmly with their chairs  and in the grass along Astoria Park in a nice summer breezy day. Astoria Council Member Peter Vallone join the band for 2 songs playing the drums.
