<b>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
If you didn't attend the Fall Concert last night put on by Director
Paul Enis, the Sound Sensations, and the Mountaineer Band and Choir,
you missed a really great show. It was really quite surprising to me
to find out some of the songs that have been written by some fellow
"Okies". And I'm talking well known songs, like "This Land is Your
Land", "I'll Fly Away", and "Joy to the World" just to name a few.
All the performers were excellent, as usual, but I know I saw several
eyes pop and jaws drop when Luke Forwoodson began to sing Roger
Miller's "King of the Road". No one expected that deep, deep voice to
be coming out of him. If he didn't before, I'd say he has fans now.
And as Boomer Lawrie took the stage I wondered why they called him
"Boomer". When he began to sing I got it. That guy's another one with
a terrific voice. He really sounded great doing his rendition of Merle
Haggard's "Fightin' Side of Me". I really enjoyed Kendra Click's
performance of the Carrie Underwood song "Not in Checotah Anymore". I
had never really heard it and listened to the words before, but hearing
her singing it, I could just imagine how a girl from Oklahoma would
feel being uprooted to New York or somewhere, where you could find
anything you want except a Wal-Mart Store. I hated to hear that long
time accompanist, Mary Ford, was ill and had to miss the performance,
but wish her a speedy recovery. The next scheduled musical performance
that you won't want to miss will be Candlelighting on December 2nd, so
mark your calendars and be sure and attend.<br>
<br>
And don't miss the "Battle of Gowen Mountain" tonight. It's Wilburton
High School's homecoming game and they will be playing their long time
rivals, the Hartshorne Miners. The coronation starts at 7:00, and the
game starts at 7:30.<br>
<br>
Saturday morning is the Kiamichi Electric Annual Meeting here in the
EOSC Fieldhouse, for those of you rural residents who are on Kiamichi
Electric. You might get lucky and win a prize.<br>
<br>
Be sure and wish John Calhoun a happy birthday today, if he didn't take
the day off. What does he think this is, his birthday or something?<br>
