APRIL 27, 2011
BK LOUNGE


We are becoming accustomed to opening the Tuesday evening show at the BK Lounge to a capacity crowd. It's certainly a great feeling not be able to see any empty chairs. The crowd was very enthusiastic and obviously ready for a good show.

A good many members of our audience is also very good at multi-tasking. There are several tables where the folks are playing cards or checkers as they listen to the music they appear to enjoy so much.

We also look forward to some fine music from our guests who drop in each week. Last night was no exception. First up was Jerome Oberle with his squeeze box accordion. He pleased everyone with "Beer Barrel Polka" and a great tune recorded and made famous many years ago by Skeeter Davis. "I've Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know About Him" was especially well received by the fans.

Annie Little sang her favorite Garry Bichelmeyer penned "Why Did I Ever". It can be found on her CD along many more wonderful songs.

Annie was joined by Jay Holmgren for a rousing rendition of "I Saw The Light", we need to get Jay up to sing for us more often, he puts on a fine performance.

In the second half we were entertained with a fine performance as usual from our friend Ron Fine. He sang "Now and Then There's A Fool Such As I" and "Build Me A Cabin In The Corner Of Glory Land". It is always a pleasure to hear his wonderful voice.

Jerome Oberle came back up and joined the band for the instrumental "Harbor Lights".

We want to remind everyone to join the Stranger Creek Band at the annual "Spring Fling" in DeSoto, Kansas on Saturday, April 30. We will be performing at 84th & Wea Streets from about 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. It should be a fun day, please come on out.

We hope to see everyone back at the BK Lounge again next Tuesday.

Everyone stay safe and well until we see you again!!
