The Lettermen "Live in CDO"


Last January 16, 2007, The Lettermen came to Cagayan de Oro City. I actually went there to witness the concert.
Thanks to the cdokay people who gave me an opportunity to be there. Well, as part of cdokay, i was tasked to write an article about the concert and my experience of being there.
The Lettermen were very famous back in the late 1960's, i don't know how you could imagine me going there with all those oldies. But guess what, i was not the only 23-year old audience witnessing the show, there were more than many from what i have expected. Though their music does really aged like forever but it was unexpectedly beautiful. All the love songs touched my heart and flew me to the air of madness. If you were there, i'm sure you'd be feeling the same way.
There was one quote from Tony Butala, the only original member of the group, he said that "Love songs never really get out of style". And i definitely agree. That is why their music never ceases to stay behind. Their music transcends all language barriers and displays variety of musical styles that everyone can enjoy. Their ballads know no boundaries.
It touches hearts of the young and old. I guess we don't really need to judge music by its time, but by it's melody, lyrics and notes. Frankly, i did enjoy the show. It was tremendously great for a first time experience.
