Howl at the Moon/ Carlos Pueblo

Howl at the Moon/ Carlos Pueblo

Howl at the Moon was a musical program at the cruise which I took to the

Mediterranean last month. I met a couple from Beijing, China on the ship and

took them to another music program, Manhattan. We passed by a bar called

Headliner with big laughing audience. Mr. Cheng said that their English was not

Enough to understand the show; therefore, we skipped that show. Actually, they

enjoyed the Manhattan with a dance on the floor. One night, I was watching a

guitar show at a bar, a pair of singers joined the guitarist for singing a different

kind of music. This pair of singers draw big crow of audience. One keynoter

announced that they would hold another show on the next night. I went to that

show net day. It was crowded and very successful as usual. After the cruise, I

double check my e-mail records, I found that the show was Howl at the Moon of

which Connie Permar, the pretty Hawaiian girl I met in Barcelona recommended

me. I checked with the cruise staff who indicated that the music was Rock and Roll.

Rock and Roll music makes people feels like dancing. I saw a small group of passengers

passing by the guitarist’s program with Howl at the Moon cutting in with his music.

A pair from that group, jumped in dancing in a very small area. The old man is a good

dancer indeed with all kinds of trick, his lady partner is good as well. More and more

passengers stopped by and the night program became as an attraction point. Later, a

Japanese lady under her husband’s encourage, replaced the original lady dancing partner.

She is excellent surprisingly talent. I made up a simple Japanese sentence to her husband

that his wife was number one among all. He wanted to buy a glass of beer for me and of

course my compliment did not worth that much 8 Euro. Many cruise passengers are

really enjoying the evening entertaining programs.

The group is consisted of two keyboarders and a drummer and is Rock and Roll with quick

tone step. Amazingly there were many young audience know the words and could follow

the singing. The group is very confident allowing audience to ask for songs, usually some

audience attach a bill with a note, the key singer would proudly announce how much and

make up joke with it. Some time he would indicate that he did not know the song or the

tip was too small or something else. They also accepted drink and bottom up immediately.

The performers and the audience were very worm and at the peak of his performance, he

would untie his small pig tail and shake his head making his singing action like a wolf’s

howling.  I am not familiar with Rock and Roll yet I can feel the popularity among American

young  generation.

I used to sit at the edge of a bar for not interfering with it regular business because I did not

feel like to spend the money. I feel that I should save the money for the next cruise trip. I

did not find such edge bench in a bar; therefore, I sit like regular customer on a chair or sofa

yet not buying anything. I am getting more and more comfortable for my behavior in public

nowadays.
