SEPTEMBER 14, 2010

The weather was fabulous as a good size group gathered at the BK Lounge. There was much visiting among themselves as the band prepared for the evening of music.

Larry Dean kicked the show off with "Miles and Miles of Texas" followed by "Designated Drinker".
Gordon Riley stepped up with the ever popular "Wildwood Flower" and "Break My Mind".
Next was Marvin Bredemeier with "Red Sails in the Sunset" and "Silver Bells".
The beautiful voice of Mary Bichelmeyer was next with "Blue Kentucky Girl" and "Walking After Midnight".
Garry Bichelmeyer singing "Would You Catch a falling Star" and his self written " Summers Almost Over".
Art Covey closed out the first half with "Royal Telephone" and Hobo's Meditation".

During the intermission we were all served a piece of a delicious Carrot cake in celebration of our friend, Roger Hawkins's birthday. Happy Birthday, Roger!!

Larry Dean opened the second half with Roger's request of "Mom & Dad Waltz", "Back to Louisiana", "Together Again", Billy Gray" and "I miss my Mary tonight".
Then Gordon Riley stepped up with " Back Home in Indiana".
Marvin Bredemeier was next with "Ragtime Annie" and "Faded Love". Then we were honored for the second week in a row to hear his Rousing ever popular version of "The Orange Blossom Special"!
Mary Bichelmeyer came back then with "Satin Sheets" and "Bill Bailey"
Garry Bichelmeyer and Larry Dean joined forces for "In the Jailhouse Now"
Gordon Riley and John Malone gave us a very rare treat as they joined in for "Wipe Out"!
Larry Dean closed the show with "Will the Circle be Unbroken".

It was a great show and we look forward to having everyone join us on Thursday, September 16 at the Grinter Jamboree. We will have a dinner of Spaghetti Beef Casserole followed with 2 1/2 hours of Music.
