AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DAVE WOOGE'S BURLINGTON (KS) OPRY
Howdy folks.  This is our last 50s and 60s show for the season.  As of this show we are going back to one show per month until further notice.  We’ll see how everything is going this fall and make a decision as to whether or not we go back to two shows. 

This Saturday night at the Burlington Opry  we have Don Roberts from Hartford.  Don usually sings country, but wanted a shot at 50s and 60s.  We are pleased to have his great personality and strong voice on  our stage.

We also have Lorena Prater.  She will be here for this show, and then she will be featured on our next show, singing country.  Looking forward to hearing her do country as it has been a while….

We also have Chuck Hammersmith from Lansing.  Chuck helps us a lot with back up harmonies and has a great singing voice.  Chuck and Dave will both be here this show.

We have a sit in drummer, Anthony Berry from Ottawa.  Anthony played with us for quite a while a few years ago.  We also have a sit in bass player, Richard Brockus .  Richard has been sitting in with us for a lot of the 50s and 60s shows…

Show starts at 7 this Saturday, doors open at 6:15.  Hope to see you when the curtain opens…..

Dave

MESSAGE FROM DAVE WOOGE & THE BURLINGTON OPRY
Howdy folks.  Coming to you live from Lake Havasu, Arizona.  Heading home first thing Thursday morning for the show.  We have as guests this Saturday night: 

Casey Jordan from Havensville.  Casey has performed on our stage many times in the past.  She does a great job with old and new material.  She is bringing her friend Jordan with her to sing some wonderful duets. 

Arlen Lierz from Sabetha.  Arlen has also performed on our stage many times over the years.  He is a skinny cowboy that sounds similar to John Connely.  His version of Friday night blues is one most people will not forget. 

Jason Culver from Topeka.  Jason is a truck driver, and is also kind of a cowboy-ish singer.  He does a lot of newer material and some old.  It will be his first appearance on the show.

Jason Richeson.  Jason is a fantastic guitar player from Fort Scott.  He will be sitting in for Dave H who took the weekend off.  Jason is quite a picker and a great vocalist also. 

As you can see it is going to be a busy show.  Hope to see you there this Saturday night!!!

Dave
