Clara Oman at the Sun and Fun Tiki

We were fortunate to have Clara Oman play for us and 64 other Parrotheads and Sun and Fun friends at our Sun and Fun Tiki on May 13.   Clara is  a unique combination of singer/composer/pianist and entertainer and has a special talent of mashing up many songs into a wonderful medley upon request.

I recently went on a cruise with the Southern Drawl Band and wrote an article for Trop Rockin' Magazine.  Here is the link to their website which contains a photo album, links to the musicians pages as well as the article which I have shared below.   http://www.troprockin.com/life/another-voyage-paradise/ My husband and I attended our first Trop Rock Cruise organized by the Southern Drawl Band.  This was their second cruise and appropriately called “Another Voyage to Paradise 2.” It is one of the many great trips that they are currently organizing. They are calling these vacation/music getaways a SDB Playcation! We attended with 200 Parrot Heads and Trop Rock fans aboard the Norwegian Getaway. Fans from as far as Germany and Alaska attended. Events started off with a two-day Kick-Off Party at the Ocean Manor Resort right on Fort Lauderdale Beach on April 21. All the musicians chosen to perform on the week-long cruise gave us a musical preview of what to expect during the
