Wiggles

Actually, the title should be "The Wiggles". They are a musical group enjoyed by children all over the world. They often introduce themselves with, "Hi. We're the Wiggles and we like to sing and dance." But mostly they're musicians. We went to see them yesterday at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. Even though I've lived here for over 30 years, this was my first trip to the Tent. It's a very nice venue with a stage in the middle and seating all around. It's nice for the audience but must be a little hard for performers to get used to. The Wiggles are very active and move all around the stage facing different sections of the audience all the time. But the stage can move, too, and it looked like the guys were a little confused as to where they were facing a few times!

While both of our children grew up liking them, the kids a little old for that style of music now. But some of the Wiggles are retiring (Murray in red, Jeff in purple and Greg in yellow in this picture) and this is their farewell tour. So, both of our children were anxious to see them one more time. We've seen them at least twice before and countless times on TV and on videos.

We all sang along and joined in with the hand motions and silly actions that the younger kids around us were doing. Why not? No one was looking at us. All eyes were on the stage. The Wiggles tunes are really catchy and the kids always enjoyed it when I would come home from work telling them how I was singing "Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, Cock-a-doddle doo" all day while trying to get work done. That hasn't happened for a while but today I've been singing, "Can you point your fingers and do the twist?" all day. I'm not doing the hand motions at work, though.
