Philadelphia Coliseum

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Upon their arrival at the Philadelphia Coliseum, Michael Walker, Daniel Gennings, And Ryan Davies were checking out the stage and the surroundings. Denise Stanley and Kim Mathais were together casually following behind the others.

Ryan Davies was curious about the acoustics inside the coliseum and decided to perform a sound check, he reached for a nearby microphone and proceeded to sing “Somewhere There Is A Rainbow”. The sound was crystal clear and Ryan Davies was pleased that the sound throughout the coliseum was excellent.

While everyone in the group were intently surveying the surroundings, Daniel Gennings cell phone started ringing, it was Felicia Falsington, the mid day DJ for the local Philadelphia country music WWXX. It was obvious to everyone from the conversation that this was more than a radio station interview, this was more of a budding romantic relationship. Their only hope for Daniel was that it would not crash and burn like his previous relationships that sent him into a state of depression when they ended.

The five of them went out to a local landmark eatery that specialized in cheese steaks, a renowned food of choice in the greater Philadelphia area. After they enjoyed their meals, the 5 returned to the coliseum to get ready for the concert.

When the clock struck 7 o’clock pm, the 20,000 plus music fans erupted in enthusiastic applause when Michael, Daniel, Denise and Kim came on stage, they introduced themselves to the crowd, then they started playing one by one all of the repertoire of songs, especially their number #1 songs, “Olivia’, and “Adventures Of A Lifetime”, then they played “Somewhere There Is A Rainbow” a song climbing up the charts and headed for number #1, to great applause and cheers.

Judging from the reaction from the 20,000 plus in attendance, there was no doubt that the four members of Keystone Bay were very popular in their hometown and from CD sales and radio station air plays they were indeed a favorite.

After the concert had concluded and they were all backstage conversing about the concert and the reaction of the fans in attendance, Ryan Davies said to the group, “OK, let’s get all of our stuff together and head on home”.
