Rock
and roll wedding
When a couple from Vero Beach planned their wedding at the groom's house, they knew they didn't want the usual wedding band.
It would be Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon for their first dance, Led Zeppelin's All of My Love for the father-daughter dance, and Stand By Me for the groom and his mother. When the couple found Ted Knight on the the Internet, they knew they had the right band.
Everyone danced to Earth Angel, a special favorite of the groom. Oye Como Va, Old Time Rock and Roll, and Pink Cadillac (the Springsteen original rather than Natalie Cole's cover) were also big hits with the mostly 30-something guests. The band wore tuxedos for a formal look but the mood was fun, a rock and roll vibe perfect for the backyard setting.
The band had been called the Convertibles since Ted formed the group back in 1979. Now the band has a new name, Crosswind.
