"Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind." -- Mary Ellen Chase

Our Daily Diary Entry

This is how Mary and I begin the Christmas Season!

The Alley Cats are an American doo-wop group singing in a cappella. The group originated in 1987, when a concert choir program was having a variety night occurring at Fullerton College.  Paul has followed them since their inception seeing them first at the 1988 OC Fair.

With their tight, four-part harmony and delightful antics, these musical comics have been Jay Leno's opening act for the past seven years. Additionally, they have opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Joan Rivers and have appeared on numerous television shows for NBC, CBS, and PBS.

The Alley Cats have performed in concert all over the world alongside iconic groups such as The Coasters, The Drifters, and The Beach Boys. Most notably, they were featured with Jay Black as The Americans on the television special Pop, Rock and Doo-Wop.

Proudly, The Alley Cats have had the special honor of entertaining US military troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have had the great privilege of being invited by The President of The United States to perform at The White House.
