You know what that means…it’s time to party!Slip in through the back door so the neighbours don’t notice and get ready for a great night of amazing “current” music from the 70’s. Jim and his friends have been practicing for the talent show at school and are ready to perform hits like “Midnight At The Oasis”, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown”, “Killing Me Softly”, “Tie A Yellow Ribbon”, and many, many more!!
It’s going to be a boss time, but not too loud, or else the neighbors might call the fuzz!! The lava lamps will be bubbling, the punch will be spiked, and everyone will be decked out in their 70’s best attire!!!
Join us for a rip-roaring ’70s house party…it will be DYNOMITE!!!!!
