Here’s a classic but largely unknown Doo Wop song called “I See a Star” by the Roulettes.

If one reviews the internet world of Doo Wops, this group is known, but I never heard of them or of this song.

But this song has all the classic doo wop components.

Any comments by any of those fifties survivors who danced to this music or just played 45’s on a little player which you could take on a date or listen to in bed?

The Citizen Patrol folks who monitor nocturnal Ocean Grove  get to see quite a few night- time creatures like raccoons, possums and some shadowy people.

But, if you go out and about and study the light, you will see the moon reflecting on the ocean and you will see the lights on the boardwalk, but there are other sights to see, such as the lights twinkling in and about Wesley Lake.

Those of you who have low light digital cameras, you might want to walk the streets of the Grove and check out the night scene.  Watch your shutter speed.  If it is below 30, make your ISO setting higher   (ie more sensitive.)   This will keep your image from blurring.—Paul

Norm Buckman of Ocean Grove sent us this “hidden gem.”

He said, “Good morning Dr. I’m certain that everyone enjoys the beautiful photographs of the front of OG tents, but did you know that one has a wonderful rear view hidden from most as well?  It is the creative work of Jane Cherubini at 10 Kingsley Place.

“I thought it might make a great contest photo on Blogfinger.

“Warmest regards Norm Buckman.”

Editor’s note: After we posted this photo, Norm Buckman emailed us and said, ” Thank you. Janie is thrilled to see it. The tent is her joy still after 26 years.”

OGrover was the first to figure this out.  He wins  our “What’s going on here?” contest.  He can pick up his prize by going to Seasons General Store at 69 Main Avenue.  Ask for Michelle or Marc.  —PG
