I watched their show back in the day. I don't know if the humor would make me laugh now - I remember it being pretty hokey. Still, it was a fun show. I think they're still together, though Jon "Bowser" Bauman is long gone.

I was looking through the CD racks and saw an album of new material by them dated 2006. Jocko is still in the group, but many of the members I don't recognize.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bassman himself :)Do NOT let the tough guy act fool you . He's a sweetheart! This was over 10 years ago. He left Sha Na Na in 1983 but tours with another group. He's in his 70s now but still going strong!:D

He's like Henry Winkler (The Fonz) in that he played a cool guy on TV, but is kind of geeky in real life.

I have an 8 track of one of thier concerts and its excellent!!!

Its a K-TEL collection and every song on this tape is at some concert they did..... (The records have 1 side of stuff NOT LIVE and that would ruin the spirit I think so Im glad K-TEL added some other live selections they did to fill the space........)

ITS EXCELLENT!!

I love Sha Na Na! Lead singer Johnny Contardo was an excellent singer. He could have had a solo career. But all of them were very talented!
