Herman’s Hermits

/ Roadtirementvintage / 7 Comments

How many of you know what I’m talking about when I say Herman’s Hermits?

I asked our each of our 5 kids and only one of them knew. That’s because he remembered “Henry the Eighth”. One of their popular songs.

They were a popular English rock band formed in 1963. They were my favorite group when I was in high school! I never thought I’d get to see them live on stage! But, I did!

Herman’s Hermits, starring Peter Noone performed at The Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana and we got tickets for the December performance. Peter Noone of the original group is still performing with the group. You can imagine my excitement at seeing him.

This was the week before Christmas 2025
Wonderful show. I loved every second!
Peter Noone even came off stage and walked down the aisles
We had great time

They performed some of their popular hits. Like “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Beautiful Daughter” and “A Kind of Hush”. Some Christmas songs were sung. It was such a great evening. ~Sher

The free concert began at 6:00 PM, with the church sanctuary filled to capacity. Bach’s Fugue in G Minor opened the program played, of course, on the church organ. Very talented local musicians performed a variety of numbers including movie scores, Broadway hits and other spooky themes.  We really enjoyed this delightful musical celebration of the Halloween season.

Tonight (10/19/2025) we are going to one of the festivities at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. It is a Spooky Organ Concert. It sounds interesting and we no idea what it will be like. It, also, gives us a chance to see all the Halloween decorations in the area.

Government shutdown stops union election at Indiana casino

/ Roadtirementvintage / Leave a comment

The Addison Times and The Indianapolis Business Journal has reported that a scheduled union election at Caesar’s Horseshoe Casino, located about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis, was indefinitely delayed by The National Labor Relations Board, due to the federal government shutdown.

More than 200 Horseshoe Indianapolis Casino workers plan to strike today. Teamsters Local 135 said the workers, dealers and floor supervisors are seeking union recognition. They proposed using a neutral third party to conduct the vote on the original Oct. 17 date. Teamsters President Dustin Roach said the strike aims to pressure Caesars to agree to the alternate election plan.

Horseshoe Indianapolis, now owned by Caesars Entertainment, employs around 1,400 people and was Indiana’s 2024 second-highest grossing casino with $336 million in revenue.
