BK LOUNGE

We had a smaller than usual crowd last night, presumably because of the Holidays. I know several of our loyal fans were out of town and I am sure some still had family events going on for the holidays. Still, it was a good turn-out.

The Lounge is really looking nice as the long anticipated remodeling project nears completion. The new paint has really helped to brighten the place up and our fans have a better view of the band and the dance area with the floral displays removed.

All of the band members were on hand to provide an evening of good music and dancing. We also had our "regular guests", Ron Fine and Art Covey on hand for their usual outstanding performances for us. We had a special treat when Garry introduced two of his cousins from the audience. First, Mary Kay (I'm sorry I did not get her last name) entertained us with a beautiful rendition of "Crazy". Then, Jessica Bichelmeyer demonstrated a STRONG, beautiful voice as she performed two songs; "You Ain't Woman Enough" and "Coal Miner's Daughter" and the audience wanted another. Both ladies were very well received by the audience. We hope to see both of them again soon. Jessica recently graduated from college and Garry said she had been sending some demonstration recordings to Nashville. In the near future she plans to travel down there and see if she can make some connections. I certainly hope doors open and she gets an opportunity.

I understand that Roger Hawkins is home from the Hospital now and continues to rest and improve at his home. Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with him and Jean.

If you have not yet made your reservations for dinner at the Eagles club New Years eve please do so. You should phone 913-432-2047 to make your reservation. Of course, if you cannot attend the dinner you can still come to the dance. Only $10 each for the dance including Champagne, noise makers and Biscuits & Gravy after the dance.

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
