Remember that on Friday night, October 14, 2011, we have a party room at the Holiday Inn starting at 9:30 p.m. after the Welcome Back Dinner. Mel (Cut-worm) Parker (who cannot be with us) has nevertheless provided the entertainment for the party room by sending to me 3 CDs of his songs, written and performed by him with a decided country turn, to play while we gather. My favorites so far are “Let’s Go See Willie” and “Horny Blues.” Willie Nelson and Trace Adkins have nothing on Cut-worm. Go to melparker.com for more info.
I am checking with the Holiday Inn on their sound system in the party room. As a backup, I need for someone to bring a portable CD player (a boom box) for this purpose. Who will volunteer? The singing and music are really very good and it makes me remember that Cut-worm would, on occasion, entertain us with a dance and a little harmonica music at R-MA.
This gathering promises to be a once in a lifetime celebration of nostalgia, remembrance and endurance. Angie and Tom Kalogeras and Jan and I look forward to seeing you at R-MA, early and late.
Song for you
Everything was special, the weather was wonderful, the crowd was large and a great audience, and the first national flea day was special. Thanks for all of the thumbs up, smiles and applause.
I will be back at the County Line on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011. The first Saturday in November…you are invited, it is a family affair and open to the public with free admission.
