She reached back for old-school jams like Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing," and kept it current with the Black Eyed Peas' "Let's Get it Started.
When the announcer asked everyone over the age of 40 to stand, more than half the audience rose, verifying that this was definitely an audience of grown folks. "Grown and sexy" crowd notwithstanding, a few of what [Ruby Baker] jokingly called the "new school crew," bravely partied with their parents' cohorts.
In a beautiful fusion of "old school" meets "new school, the "grown and sexy" audience members graciously shared the small dance area with the "20-something" partiers.

The festival was electrified into the upright position under the hand of the Oz Noy Trio as dusk slowly settled on Friday. The Israeli electric guitarist performed along with bass phenom Will Lee (half of Paul Shaffer's rhythm section on Late Show with David Letterman), as well as South African-born Anton Fig (the other half of Shaffer's most-necessary support).
