Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome tolkom In.
He's time now for our community connection right here on K one though one
you addressed and Mary Lynn Maim's been a while since I've seen you back a
couple of bad day or two. How are you doing eight hours? I'm
great? Good morning, Tom. How are you well? I bet you
just a little bit on the I got the butterflies bit, the real good
feeling of the butterflies because we're kicking off okam tonight today is the day.
We kick off tonight at Unity Square with Jim Green, our magician, and
then we go into Mad's Tolling and the Madsman. So if you like a
little bit of jazz, a little bit of fun, a lot of the
sixties, then you should come out for a free concert and have some nice
food from the food trucks and food vendors. Palace Rooms is also doing amazing
picnic basket, so order your picnic basket today for the event tonight, order
your picnic basket for tomorrow to take out to Woolock. They're kind of a
new business here in town, but well yeah, they are amazing. David
Kawait is on our Board, and we're so excited to support David and Adrian.
We love their restaurant. David and I always joke about I love the
Butterboard. So simple, easy concept, but it's just amazing. And then
tonight at eight o'clock inside we have Vactive and so if you like Disney,
if you like to sing along, if you like acapella, we have an
eleven piece acapella group for you. Now, this is really something special.
I've seen some acapella groups before, and even Dick Van Dyke performing at ninety
seven, he still has an acapella group. Wow, and he still performs.
But if you've ever heard these acapella groups, they'll knock your socks off.
Hey, well, why you even bother with a band? They are
absolutely amazing and it is so fun to watch them, and it's fun to
watch all of the different parts. And we are just thrilled to have them
here and people need to come on out. You will not be sad,
you will be you will have a really good time and it'll put the zippity
in your new dots for sure, that is true. Still available right Tickets
are still available, so you can go to okayamusic dot org to get your
tickets. You can call our office nine eight three three six nine nine zero
zero. You can go to Bartlesville Community Center's website. I believe it's www
Bartelsville Community Center dot com. You can call their office box office, you
can come in person. I'll even come deliver them to you if that's what
we need to do. Well, Now, I got a question for you
tonight. There's an outside chance of rain, even though we're in the good
throws of a drought. But if it should get a little sprinkly, what
are we going to do tonight? Is there an a plan B for the
outdoor portion? Yeah, so, both for today and tomorrow's we will rock
tomorrow night. We have decided today to go ahead and move forward. It
looks like the chances are pretty low during the concert time. If for some
reason we have a pop up thunderstorm, we have one of two options.
Either a we'll move it inside to Community Hall, or if it looks like
it's going to last just for a few minutes, things might get delayed just
just a little bit, but we'll just move it back and everybody can just
come inside Community Hall, get dry, stayed right, and then come back
outside when it's safe. I like that. That's so even it's a it's
a plan. It's a plan. I know it wasn't easy to put the
plan together, but folks are going on, well, it makes a lot
of yesday. Just to give a little bit of you know, everyone in
Oklahoma probably has the same problem. We would look at the whether it would
change literally by the hour. It's been doing that this morning. It has
been doing that this morning, so it makes things a little bit challenging.
But again, same thing for tomorrow. Today by noon, we'll try to
make the decision if we can go ahead and have it out at wool Rock
or not have it at wool Rock. Make that call. And then if
for some reason it does get moved, it'll get moved into the community center,
and so it still goes forward as planned. It just gets moved into
community Hall, the food aspect of it, and then all the rest of
the ax get moved into the auditorium. So keep it right show, We'll
go on, Keep it right here to Bartletool Radio and we'll let you know
what's going on. I just in case. Okay, folks, yes,
please check the radio, Please check our website. Please feel free to call
our office. We will let you as soon as we know, or Rose
is going to have two phones in each hand. She might. It has
been it's you know, it's taken an entire crew, about eight of us
to keep the phones answered this week. It's been crazy. Well it's a
good kind of crazy. That is a good kind of crazy. We are
very happy. Yeah. One thing about Bartlesville is that sometimes we folks will
just wait till the last dog gone minute to order those tickets because you know,
there's a lot of options. We are a very last minute community,
and that's okay. We just know that it's important to support our community.
Bartlesville is amazingly blessed to have such a plethora of talents, not only within
Bartlesville, but certainly those talents who get to come from outside. To share
that with a community of the size to be able to offer the arts,
the fine arts that we're able to do is just remarkable, and so we
really need everyone to continue to support that if they want to see the arts
continue to flourish and grow. If people don't come, then we're in trouble.
So please come. The first concert tonight is free. The second concert
that's inside, it's not that expensive. It's a lot cheaper than driving all
the way up to Tulsa and and nosebleed section seat for you know, one
hundred and fifty dollars. These are these are all under one hundred dollars,
and there's different levels. Children and twelve and under are free, so you
can't beat that. And they're gonna be the ones really digging the songs.
That is true. Well, I think the adults are too. I know
the adults will, but the kids are like, well, that's cool.
I don't heard it done like that. I know when when people have asked
me and I've played snippets of octaves, they're like, oh my gosh,
that's so fun and that's so cool. So I think, you know,
I really think it's something for everyone. I think Matt's tolling will be something
for everyone. You know, he'll play fun. Well, he plays like
Georgia on my Mind and then all of a sudden he goes into the Flintstone
theme song, so it's kind of fun. He's going to be all over
the places that mad I tell you, Yes, that is true, that
is true. But he's very nice, m wonderful man, and we're super
excited to read them, meet the rest of his band and just hear what
they have to offer. So well, this is going to be such a
delight tonight, and then of course with Lee Greenwood on Friday. But Sunday
is going to be really something special. Sunday, it's going to be something
special. So I'll skip backwards, So Lee green would please come out.
That's going to be absolutely amazing, fireworks, the food trucks. Prior to
that, we have again our very own Jacil Doopson, who our audience has
had a chance to meet the past couple of times. She is amazingly talented.
This young lady is going to play her violin. She's going to sing
songs for us. I think she said she was going to play some adell
so I can't wait to hear her. Followed by that will be Buffalo Rome
and the music of Laurel Canyon. So if you like the Eagles, if
you like the Mamas and Papa's, come out sing a song. Then on
Saturday we have time for three the Grammy Award winning artist and we're very excited
to have them come out. And then yes, going back to Sunday,
we're very excited to have praise and worship. We have Katie Nicole coming,
We have Pearl Grayson Company opening for us, and Pearl Grayson Company was amazing
to give us some of their time this week. At the children's programming,
they taught a they read a children's storybook about the violin and a little dog
and a bear, and then in the afternoon session they taught how that violin
becomes a magical fiddle. And so the kids were so excited. Even the
adults that came to help us, even our interns thought it was a really
good day. Every kid got a violin, every kid got a book,
and everybody went home happy. Oh man. So overall it was a success.
In fact, our children's programming shout out to everyone who attended. Every
event was at capacity. We gave over six hundred books. We've given over
i think, gosh at this at the point, like maybe five hundred instruments
at this point, so very very successful time. We're going to come back
after this at commercial message, we're gonna give you a little bit of a
recap of what to expect tonight and Friday, and then also the grand finale.
Okay, all right, all right, that's coming up after these words
from Arnold Morton Ncamp Funeral Home. I'm k one the one he trust ten
Howell Arnold Moore and Knee Camp Funeral Home. You have to start out giving
comfort because your role has helped that person walk through the worst day of their
life and they're counting on you and your expertise and they trust you to get
them through this. That's what we try to do and do exceedingly well,
is walk hand in hand with our clients and say, you know what,
we've been down this road. We'll help you down. Here's what we've learned,
here's the benefit of our years and this. Let us help you with
this. Do you have suggestions? Our job is to relieve the stress so
you can grieve and you can heal. And that staff at seven ten South
Dewey does a tremendous job of just putting their arms around people and loving them
and they have one goal and that's to satisfy the family and that final tribute
to their loved one. It'll be all right. We'll walk through this together,
Arnold Moore and the Camp Funeral Home, seven ten Dewey, Martels of
all, we'll walk through this together, all right, sir, Community connection.
Mary Lynn Mon is with us here from Okam and once again the thing
for tonight to remember. With our kickoff, we're going to have Jim Greens.
So if you like magic, come out and see Jim Green opening up
for families and children and grandpa's and grandma's. I think it's gonna be really
fun. He puts on a really good show. He's super funny and he's
not only is it magical, but it's he's got a little bit of science.
I guess, kind of up his sleeve if you have a little science
tricks. Followed by that, we have Mad's Tolling and the Madsman out at
Unity Square again and then go inside at eight o'clock. I think Mad's Tolling
is on at six, and then we go inside for voctive at eight o'clock.
Oh yeah, okay, and then Lee Greenwood again, Lee Greenwood at
Woolarock, Jessel Doopson opening up for Lee Gates open up five, so come
on out, enjoy the food. Then Buffalo Rome with the music of Laurel
Canyon and then on Saturday time for three that's back at the Community Center.
On Sunday, we go into praise and worship which is a special day for
us. We start off that afternoon with Katie Mayhem coming and talking about Mozart,
which is a little bit out of the realm but also still has aspects
of praise and worship within it. And then we go to Brent Getins who
will play a country gospel and Elvis gospel, so don't exactly but he does
a good Elvis impersonation, so we'll have a little bit of sweet tea,
some Elvis, and some brownies. Then followed by that we go into our
concert series for the night. Pearl Grayson Company will come do a little bit
of blue grass and some gospel, and then followed by Katie Nicole, who
I kind of described as sort of country you meet light rock. She's amazing
and so people really need to come out and see her. Singer songwriter.
She has an amazing story, very inspirational young lady. So come on out
to the Community Center for that concert. And then Monday is our finale and
it is at the Tulsa Garden Center. It's going to be beautiful. Half
of the concert is outdoors, whether permitting, the other half are The rest
of it is inside, and we have Tulsa Baroque Honors Youth Orchestra that will
be opening for us. We're very excited. Followed by your quartet, and
then followed by Katie Mayhem. Well, and it's an entire mozart program by
Katie. It's going to be beautiful and it's going to be candlelight. So
we're very excited. Well, you know, talk about putting a bow on
it. There you go, nice. I think it's going to be really
pretty, very pretty. And then I also need to remember our guests.
Don't forget if you haven't gotten your brunch. I think it's about sold out,
so please call today at our office nine eight three three six nine zero
zero, or go on to our website Okay Music dot org and get your
brunch tickets. I think we have maybe ten left. Oh wow, so
yeah, yeah, I don't don't waste any time, folks. And Melody's
Creative Cuisine is the one cooking for that, and so you don't want to
miss it. I think it's amazing. I think you just sealed the deal.
Don't wait for the credits to roll here, folk, you need to
get on the phone and make that happen. You know something, this really
sounds like a fun one. And you know, okay Am does such a
great job but not only entertaining folks who live here, but actually from about
a four or five state area. We draw people in from all over.
Really, we really do. It's something that we all can be very proud
of. It's always interesting to talk to local businesses, the hotel's, restaurants,
retail, and OKAM really does make an impact. You know, we
have people that come from all both coasts. Believe it or not, they
do. We have people that come from overseas and then we also, of
course have people more in our in our general state area, a regional,
but we have people who will come from Kansas, Arkansas, Texas to see
these shows. And of course Ly has a huge following. Yeah, Time
for Three has a huge following, Katie Nicole has her following. So we
expect, you know, some of their folks to be coming. And so
while they're here, you know, they go to the hotels, they go
to retail, they go to restaurants, they call us and ask us.
In fact, we've had two ladies in our office all week long and they've
been buying things, asking us where to go. They've been shopping in our
store. And that's that's another thing I forgot to mention. We have a
store at the Sugar Plump Shop, So come by and see us and see
what we have inside. And there's lots of nice gifts. Our t shirts
are in for the festival. Our posters are in for the festival. We'll
bring those out tonight as well. But no, I mean so we know
for you know from these two young ladies who've been in there, that retail
and tourism is a thing for Bartlesville. So please come out and support your
local stores. Please get your friends and family, tell your family to come
from out of town and come see us. Well, this will be great.
Hey. You know, Maria Gus has got that people meter thing or
whatever it is where they can kind of figure out where people have been when
they come to town. Yes, be interesting to figure out if we get
all fifty states, maybe some folks from Canada. We have had people from
Canada often, actually that is very true. Um, yeah, we always
have musicians that are Canadian. Um, it would be really inspirational. Um.
I don't know if if I want to make that my life goal,
but it would be a good life goal if you could get one person from
every state to come to the festival. That would be pretty cool. And
you folks who are listening to us, so you know on the stream up
there in Canada, the air is clear down here, folks. It is
very clear. It's very green, and that's why they call it screen Country.
Mary Lynn M. Okay, m Let's put out the lights night and
just really have a great show. Okay, thank you so much, Thank
you so much for the radio support, and we look forward to seeing you
there tonight. You will, all right, folks. That is our community
connection right here on Kay one, the one you trust.
