Carol Perkins: Three Dog Night Previous Column: Drop the Kleenex By Carol Perkins I spent my birthday in Huntsville at my friend Mary Alice's home. Connie Scott (art teacher) and I drove down on Saturday, and then the three of us attended a Three Dog Night concert, with the opening act The Little River Band. We were so far from the stage that we couldn't tell who the lead singer was for either. I pulled up a picture of Three Dog Night, and Danny Hutton is the only original left. Twenty-four members have come and gone, so the band, other than Danny, was more like a tribute band. I recognized a few songs before "Joy to the World" ended the night and brought us to our feet. Mary Alice was wise enough to buy two extra tickets for her son, Daniel, and his wife, Lori, so they could help navigate. The main parking lot was full by the time we arrived, so Daniel pulled up to the crew at the closed area and stumbled on his words to describe us without being too pointed, "I have some challenged ladies here. Can I drop them off?" Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2025-09-08 15:13:42 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
