Mark your calendars

If you're anything like me, you have fond memories of the PBS show, "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" The show in and of itself wasn't anything special. I think the most memorable part was the theme song, performed by that famous a capella group, Rockapella:

Last summer, Leah, Alex and I got to see them perform in Boston, as they were touring with the Boston Pops. It was an amazing concert. It brought back a flood of memories and, unlike many from adolescence, they were actually good.

As luck would have it, Rockapella is coming to town for a free concert at the Clark County Government Center on September 13. Come join us for a fun, entertaining concert that is sure to delight you all.

Here is the information from the county website:

"Rockapella, appearing Sept. 13, laid the groundwork for many pop a cappella groups today. The group’s most recognizable appearances came in the 1990s with its appearance in Folgers commercials and the popular PBS geography series, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? The group began performing together on New York City street corners in the 1980s. As the 1990s arrived, Spike Lee and Debbie Allen took notice of the group for their PBS show, Spike & Co.: Do It A Cappella. Rockapella took its act to Japan and added a “vocal percussionist.” Since then, the quintet has enjoyed an international and homebred following and released 10 domestic albums, 11 international."

So, where in the world is Carmen San Diego? I don't know. But the fun will be at the Government Center on September 13.
