MAY 17, 2011
BK LOUNGE


About all I can say about tonight's show is "WOW!!" It was a great show with a great crowd on hand to enjoy it. What a wealth of wonderful talent we had.

The first one to drop in was our friend, ARNIE JOHNSON. It had been several months since we saw him. He came front and center during the first half and turned in his usually dazzling performance with two or three songs. He returned in the second half for three more great numbers.

BILL CLARK made a couple of different appearances with some superb music on his harmonicas. He is always a pleasure to listen to.

ANNIE LITTLE got up and captivated the crowd with two of her favorites from one of her CD's. Her CD"s are a great display of her talents and very enjoyable, if you get the chance be sure to pick one up.

15-year old LUKE MORALES, a protege of GORDON RILEY'S, showed his talent on the guitar with a great performance of "House of the Rising Sun" and followed it by backing LARRY DEAN as he sang Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". Great job LUKE!!!.

In addition to the pain and discomfort I told you last week that LAURENCE KELTNER was experiencing, they had to make a trip to the Emergency Room later in the week where he was treated for bronchitis. In addition to all that, their Granddaughter suffered a miscarriage. Laurence and Barb and their family need all the support we can give them; please remember them in your prayers and I'm sure some cards would be appreciated. Their address is in last weeks blog below this one.

Our very special guests at the Grinter Barn Jamboree this Thursday, May 19 will be two great performers. FRED UZELL with his Dobro and FRANKIE KAYE with the Steel Guitar. The last time they both joined us was about a year ago and we saw one of the best shows we had in a long time. FRANKIE played in COWBOY COPAS' band for a time many years ago. You won't want to miss this show and also enjoy the Enchilada Casserole the Ladies of Grinter are going to serve before the show.

Again I owe DAVE & JEAN HIGHTOWER a MILLION THANKS for taking the pictures for me. They will never know how much I appreciate their help.
