\"jamesmarvell13\"James Marvell Performs Hippie Show At Border Theatre – Kathy Olivarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Things change as people come and go. And as the younger Winter Texans come, the music that accompanies their youthful memories is different from that of the older generation of Winter Texans. With the coming of the Beatles and the protests of the Vietnam War, music became less innocent and started expressing opinions opting for peace instead of war. James and Faye Marvell have captured that \u201cWoodstock\u201d generation\u2019s music and put it into a show, complete with costumes of that era.<\/p>\n

James comes out with a hippie-style shirt, a headband, several strands of beads, and torn jeans bearing peace signs, while Faye favors long flowing skirts and shirts covered with scarves. The couple encourages their audiences to dress in hippie attire when they come to the show, \u201cbecause it makes the show more fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

James scoffs the idea that hippies were not patriotic by singing \u201cAmerica\u201d in a way that filled the Border Theatre in Mission where he performed recently.<\/p>\n

He launches into a number of songs that were popular during the \u201860s, starting with \u201cHenry the VIII I Am,\u201d \u201cAs Tears Go By,\u201d by the Rolling Stones, and \u201c96 Tears.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course he sings several of The Beatles songs such as \u201cLove Me Do,\u201d their most popular song and the song that launched them internationally. He sings songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney like \u201cA World Without Love\u201d and \u201cMichelle.\u201d Other Beatles songs include \u201cGot a Ticket to Ride,\u201d \u201cHelp\u201d and \u201cNorwegian Wood.\u201d<\/p>\n

James also sings other popular hits of the era including \u201cRunaround Sue\u201d and \u201cMy Little Runaway\u201d by Del Shannon. Dean Martin\u2019s \u201cBirds and the Bees\u201d and \u201cCherish\u201d by The Association bring back memories. \u201cHappy Together\u201d by the Turtles and \u201cAmerican Woman\u201d by Guess Who brought back still more memories of the \u201860s sounds.<\/p>\n

Faye led members of the audience in a Conga Line when James sang \u201cDo Wha Diddy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faye also gave James a little break by singing, \u201cIt\u2019s My Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the second half of the show James had members of popular old groups introduce him on screen before he sang their songs. Tiny Tim introduced \u201cTiptoe Through the Tulips\u201d and one of The Rascals introduced \u201cDo You Love Me?\u201d James paid tribute to Davy Jones of The Monkees by singing \u201cI\u2019m a Believer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Film taken at Woodstock showed on the screen while James sang what he called the Woodstock theme song, \u201cLove One Another Right Now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marvell\u2019s show is a forerunner of what will probably become a trend in music for Winter Texans as younger people from the Baby Boomer generation start retiring and moving to the Rio Grande Valley.<\/p>\n
