APRIL 5, 2011
BK LOUNGE


For the third week in a row the show opened to a standing room only, very enthusiastic crowd. The band always seems to respond to a wonderful group like this and tonight was certainly no exception.

Mr Fred Uzell, the outstanding Dobro and Steel Guitar player was filling in with the band for Marvin Bredemeier who had another engagement. Fred did a wonderful job with his steel guitar and Marvin arrived at about intermission and joined the rest for the remainder of the show.

We were joined by the State President of the Kansas Oldtime Fiddlers,Pickers and Singers, Mr Greg Hermon. Greg stepped up and sang a couple of songs. What a wonderful, Baritone voice he has. Most of us could have listened to him all night.

Jerome Oberle entertained us as usual with his all-button accordion, he is always well received especially playing polkas.

Ron Fine is always a welcome guest in the line-up. He is especially good with gospel music and enjoyed by everyone.

A friend of Marvin's from south Texas, Mr Jim King came up and sang three songs for us. "Your Cheatin' Heart", "For the Good Times" and a rousing version of "Lone Star Beer and Sweet Taters" I believe was the name of it. He is a great performer and we certainly hope to see him back again.

Annie Little performed a couple of songs including her favorite, a Garry Bichelmeyer penned "Why Did I Ever".

We got a report on Mary Lou Yulich. She had her ankle surgery on Friday and is still very weak from it. They have moved her to Sharon Lane Nursing Home located at 10315 Johnson Dr in Shawnee Ks 66203. She is in room 302B and her phone number is 913-387-3527. She will not be able to put her weight on her foot for two months and she is too weak to use crutches or hop on one foot to move around. She is very weak and faces a slow recovery. I am sure she would appreciate any cards and phone calls.

Fred Uzell had a death in the family so Larry Smith will be our guest this Tuesday in his place. Our prayers and sympathy to Fred and his Family during this time of sorrow.

Again, Many thanks to Jean Hightower for the photos below:

On the Left are a couple of our newest fans: Warren and Ginger (she is 96 years old) certainly enjoyed the music. I think Ginger was on the dance floor for nearly every dance and could have danced all night. On the right, Warren had to sit down for a few minutes so Ginger got a new partner. Way to go folks!!!

Bottom left: Greg Hermon performed for us.

Bottom Right: Jim King exhibited his great talent for the crowd.









DON'T WE ALL WISH I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THESE PICTURES LINED UP AND IN PROPER ORDER?? I AM WORKING ON IT, I PROMISE!
