On Thursday night, January 11, 2024, twenty-one DVC members plus two guests traveled to Sellersville Theater to see the “Cherry Poppin Daddies” band. Those attending were Lew and Cora Phillips, Pat and Patty Cawthorne, Dick and Sandy Suffredini, Tom and Jaimee Rippert, Peter and Nancy Yaskowski, Jeff and Robin Rose, Warren and Nancy Doerner, Adam and Eva Ilnicki, Brian Gumpert, Dave and Erin Alderfer, Paul and Evonna Phillips, and two friends of the Roses.
The band is not a cover group but does many American Swing songs that were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. They also do some songs from hit Broadway shows that are more recent. The band writes some of their material and presented a new song to us that they did not record yet. There were many songs with many fast-paced words. Amazingly, the singer remembered all the words!
