A big crowd again decended on the BK tonight, evidently enjoying the brisk evening's cool, even chilly temperature drop. Once again, with Larry Dean on vacation David Purcell assumed the lion's share of the singing here tonight, much to the crowd's delight. Lead guitarist Gordon Riley and the rest of the band including John Malone on drums welcomed every one with their familiar theme song "Gordon's Boogie #1." Gordon showed his versality singing the Dwight Yoakam smash "Guitars, Cadillacs & Country Music" followed later by instrumentals "Steel Guitar Rag" and "Honky Tonk." David Purcell got the big crowd excited as he sang George Jones' "Tell Me My Crying Eyes Are Wrong," a song written by his Dad entitled "I Wonder How Many There Would Be," Willie Nelson's "Remember Me" and joining Marvin, the Hank Williams Sr.'s classic "Move It On Over." David returned somewhat later with a Garry Bichelmeyer tune, "Losing You," "You're A Once In A Lifetime Thing," George Jones' "Walk Through This World With Me," Willie's "Help Me Make It Through The Night" and Garry's "Northern Star." Mary Bichelmeyer put her vocal talents to good use as well tonight as she sang Charly McClain's "Sentimental Old You" and Jim Reeves' "Now And Then There's A Fool Such As I" while Art Covey did a beautiful job playing his mandolin and singing Darrel McCall's "There's Still A Lot Of Love In San Antone," Jimmy Rodger's "Hobo's Meditation" and "Falling Leaves." Our dear friend "Marvelous" Marvin Bredemeier, who plays fiddle every Saturday at Annie's Country Jubilee took center stage next and played our favorite fiddle tuned "Ragtime Annie" while Garry Bichelmeyer showed why he is such an audience favorite singing an original number "Demons," a very appropriate choice with Halloween fast approaching, Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone," a great banjo solo on "Old Joe Clark" and "Kansas City."
Jerome Oberele, who is a real master of the all-button accordian proved to be a real treat tonight as he played the "Beer Barrel Polka" and was joined by Marvin for Elvis' "Just Because" and the lovely "Maiden's Prayer." It was great seeing Gordon Riley's friend, the young, truly gifted Luke Morales sporting a brand-new red guitar. Luke did an outstanding job playing "House Of The Rising Sun" and "Folsom Prison Blues" with Gordon furnishing the vocals. David Purcell closed tonight's program with George Strait's "The Cowboy Rides Away." (Below) Luke Morales entertains the BK crowd.
