Journal Entry for Tuesday, Oct 18th

Motown After Dark The highlight of our second day in Laughlin was the Nathan Owens Motown After Dark R&B show we attended at Harrah’s. With music of Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and James Brown, groups like the Spinners and others who made serious contributions to the R&B music of the era. Steve Baldwin, who is not only blind, but also looks like Stevie Wonder, did a great tribute to Stevie Wonder. Stephanya Barranti was excellent doing Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin. It was a very energetic non-stop show that lasted for nearly two hours. Though overall we both thought it was a little too loud, we both enjoyed.
