It was time to pick up the babies and grab the old ladies for Dean Colley's tribute to the music of Neil Diamond at Farnsworth Park Saturday night.
The Sheriff Support Group's summer concert series wrapped up with a crowd-pleasing mix that brought back memories for baby boomers of a certain age (that would include us). Colley and his band, Hot August Night, played favorites from Diamond's seemingly-endless list of songs from the 60's on, filling up the dance floor and bringing the audience to their feet with songs sung blue and forever in blue jeans. It was a fitting end to a great summer concert season.
Until next year ... More pictures after the jump.
