Turning the Clock Back

Orleans, formed in Woodstock, N.Y. in 1972 headlined the opening night tonight of the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts. Lance Hoppen (r, guitar) was one of the original founders with his brother, Larry, who died in 2012. So was John Hall (l, guitar), who took time off to serve two terms as a congressman from New York. Others on tour include Lane Hoppen (keyboard), Dennis “Fly” Amero (guitar), and Charlie Morgan (drums). The band is best known for its 1975 hit “Dance with Me.” Other hits included “Still the One” (1976), “Love Takes Time” (1979) and the band’s cover of King Harvest’s “Dancin’ in the Moonlight.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Helen Klisser During for WestportNow.com
