I don't know about you, but I am glad to see the 20th century out the door! And I hope all those crooks out there that made millions on the Y2K scare choke on all that cash -- taking advantage of a bad situation like that is shameful, like selling shovels to rescue workers at the site of an earthquake.
Anyway, 1999 went out with a couple of good shows. One was the Stylistics at the Soul Train Cafe in Odaiba. Actually, I went there to see the opening act, Sincere, a female vocalist I know from way back. I gave up my seat near the front and positioned myself at the bar soon after they finished. This turned out to be a choice spot. No more waiting for drinks, and plenty of interesting company. I couldn't see the stage very well, but you can't always have everything.
The Stylistics did all their old hits: "Betcha by Golly Wow," "People Make the World Go Round," etc. They made me remember the lights being turned on at the high school parties because we were "dancing" too close.
