is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating back to the early 1950s in the United States, particularly the South.

As a genre it combines the sound of Western musical styles such as country with that of rhythm and blues leading to what is considered “classic” rock and roll.

Some have also described it as a blend of bluegrass with rock and roll”, which would explain why I like some rockabilly music, as opposed to all.

On Saturday, February 10^th, LB and I donned our best rockabilly attire to attend

The Rockabilly Prom is a fundraiser to provide support to Oral Cancer Patients during their treatment.  The event is made possible by Cindy Platt and more specifically by ROCSTART

and Grease Rags Clothing Company.

I made reference to these last year in this post.

The Rockabilly Prom took place at the Ramona Pavilion Ballroom, a perfect venue for dancing.

This event was something that I have been looking forward to since last February because I love to dress up.  I’m not a huge fan of the rockabilly style of dress, but I have no problem wearing a pretty dress that is reminiscent of one that might have been popular in the 1950’s.

The dress I chose was described as an Audrey Hepburn Style Off Shoulder Swing Dress (Black, S)It provides great twirling action!

The Ramona Pavillion offers in-house catering for events at the location.

Dinner was served buffet style and included a garden salad, turkey, dressing, mixed vegetables, and rolls.

There was also a plethora of cupcakeswhich didn’t take long to disappear

As the name Rockabilly Prom suggests, there was dancingAnd with two bands and a D.J., there was plenty of music to dance the night away.

Except here where it appears everyone is on break.

LB and I had a great time.

LB had an especially good time!

We’re looking forward to the 5th Annual RB Prom!
