DJ And Live Vocals
I have been a singer, entertainer with a live band for many years. About two years ago I saw the live band business in my area beginning to shrink. What with the drinking laws and now no smoking in bars, my business has significantly gone down. I started to do some dj work and I really enjoyed it. That gave me the idea to add some live vocals to what I was doing. I guess someone would call it Karaoke, but to me it is just a great way for me to continue entertaining and being able to sing and perform, which is what I love to do. I can do anything from oldies doo wop to Sinatra to Motown to Country. I don't have to worry about trying to get four or five other people together to rehearse, and agree on something I want to do. Also it gives me the ability be more mobile, versatile and affordable. If you are interested in what I am blogging about, and maybe need someone for your wedding, party etc., I will be happy to talk with you. I hope to be able to add some pic's and more information about myself and also about our live band, Nostalgia gold. For many years I worked as Mickey & Larry and the Exciters. We played Vegas, Tahoe, and pretty much traveled everywhere. You can google Larry Alltop, or Mickey Larry and the exciters and check out some of the history. I have many pictures I hope to add, when I learn how to do that. This is my first blog, so this is kind of interesting for me. I, at this point am not really sure anyone will see this.

I would love to see some pictures if you can upload them.
Larry,
It's great to see that you are still involved in the business.
I knew you "back in the day" in the Boston area. I was friends with Ron Pollini and saw you at his home as well as being a huge fan. I saw you with the Exciters at Lucifers and in Salisbury Beach and Lowell Mass. every time your group played.
Until about a year ago when I sold it, I owned a fairly large nightclub in the Tampa area. It would have been wonderful to have you appear there.
The kind of talent you all had is sorely missed.
You can email me to catch up if you want.
Take care!
Larry,
Mickey was from my town Sharon, Pa.
he was Mickey Farrell back then.
Keep it going.
