06 Oct 11 - 08:10 PM (#3235092) Subject: RE: BS: the wiggles From: catspaw49 Yeah....Your young grandson and my 20 year old son. You need to read up on these guys and the troupe. Two of them have some background in kids or childhood education and the group has had an educational premise from day one. Tris and Karen have been to two live concerts which Tris just loves as does Karen. They have a high energy level and spend a lot of time in the aisles. Karen and Tris went last when he was 17 and I must tell you this story. At one point as they were working the aisles and singing a song, Murray (the red Wiggle) looked at Tris who was smiling hugely. Now he could have walked on past but he knew right away that Tris was a special member of the audience. He walked to Tristan's side, gave Karen a quick smile, and took Tristan's hand. He shook his hand and said, "I'm so glad you came to see us." Karen said he did it in a way with such a sincere voice that it was as if he and Tris were the only ones in the arena. He gave my tearful wife another smile and moved back towards the stage. Very cool. I used to make fun of their songs and but I ain't the target audience. When it comes to reaching that audience they are totally fabulous. Make sure at some point in his childhood that Dominic gets to see them live.........Tris is anxious for them to be back this way.

Unfortunately my granddaughter considers herself too old now to go to a live concert but I have such good memories of her dancing and doing the actions to the songs. Long may they continue. |

You guys are talking like this was something wholesome , and here is this video with some old guy in a pirate outfit, chasing a girl and trying to tickle her ass with a feather! |

07 Oct 11 - 10:00 PM (#3235636) Subject: RE: BS: the wiggles From: Wesley S Try these guys: The Imagination Movers Still fun for the kids but the music is a little more enjoyable for the adults. There are some samples on the website. As I recall they are from New Orleans and were all teachers. They put on a pretty good live show too. Since Brendan didn't try to leave we figured thats a rave review on his part. |
