WEBVTT

1
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:15.080
Oh yeah. Do you a feelage
that Chicago and feeling stronger every day?

2
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.239
No, you haven't leave me.
Well, we kind of got into Chicago

3
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.280
experience coming your way here with the
Bartlesville Community Concert Association and buying Golly,

4
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.840
we have the Crawfords in with this
again. How are you doing? I'm

5
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.359
hanging in there. You know.
I did nice surprise here because I mean,

6
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.479
first of all, you came in
properly attired wearing the Chicago T shirt.

7
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.920
And that looks like that's a vintage. That's a keeper. That's one

8
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.920
of our board members have this.
He saw Chicago in Little Rock, Little

9
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.439
Rock, Arkansas, and this is
nineteen ninety one. Honestly, nineteen ninety

10
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.679
one. Well, Paula, it
looks like it's well preserved, like it'd

11
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.319
only been worn twice. Maybe I
asked her if she wanted it back.

12
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:11.840
She's just you don't have to ask
that question it long. She definitely wants

13
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.200
it back. Well, we've got
this band that's coming to town on what

14
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.040
the main fourteens. Yes, wow, if you're still looking for a Mother's

15
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.719
Day person, I mean, let's
just be it. Who Okay? So

16
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.239
wow, wow, what's the name
of this band because it's a it's a

17
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.280
it's your Chicago tribute band. It's
a Chicago tribute band. It's called Beginnings

18
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.560
and they were formed in two thousand
and two. They're from New York City,

19
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.439
so they don't say anything about Chicago
in their name, but they play

20
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.640
just about every song that Chicago does. We've heard some of their uh,

21
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.120
some of their songs. You can't
tell the difference or I can't. You're

22
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.359
right because we Joe our fellow,
who was putting together the commercial for the

23
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.000
concert, I said, wow,
that sounds uh. He said, it's

24
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.519
not as your Kidney said, hey, said's tribute band. It said you

25
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.000
are Josh serving Bean's brother, and
he said, no, that's absolutely the

26
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.599
fact that that's how good they are. Yeah, they're really good. And

27
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.919
I got their program here. I
mean, they've got all the hits on

28
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:13.639
there. Make me smile, You're
my inspiration question sixty seven and sixty I'm

29
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.240
just kind of going over them.
Sure. What I don't see is my

30
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.159
favorite Chicago song, which is kind
of obscure. It was called Thunder and

31
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.800
Lightning, and I go to YouTube
every down in listening to it, I

32
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.520
was gonna say, you can find
it there. You can find it there,

33
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.240
and I was hoping it'd be here. But either way, it's you

34
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.439
know, it's still gonna be a
good show. It's still gonna be a

35
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.840
good show, we think, Paul, how do we get tickets for this

36
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.400
week? Well, you can go
to our website. It's BCCA music dot

37
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.080
org and the web the link is
there to the Community Center. It's Sunday

38
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.120
night at seven thirty at the Community
Center. Top off your Mother's Day.

39
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.560
We're gonna keep plugging Mother's Day.
Everyone remind it it's Mother's Day. And

40
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.680
tickets for adults are on sale,
and with an adult ticket you can get

41
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.719
a student in free. So we
want because they spanned the decades, like

42
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.560
we've talked about, there's kids today
that no Chicago. They're just yeah,

43
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.240
they're just they think they're brand new. Yeah yeah, So we're going to

44
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.240
get him to go see what he
can aspire to. I think we were

45
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.479
just kind of goofing around out in
the green room, like we have a

46
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:24.879
green room, folks, it's not
real. I wouldn't know beige. But

47
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.240
back in the day, they were
known as CTA Chicago Training the Authority,

48
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.879
and then we just throw their instruments
out there. They're amplifiers, the drums

49
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.000
and the horns and everything. And
it wasn't like the big production that you

50
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.439
would see them today. They just
went out there and they're just a bunch

51
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.560
of college kids from the University of
Illinois and they just played until they couldn't

52
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.199
do it anymore. Yeah, And
I imagine this band gives everybody that same

53
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.879
essence of that energy when way back
when. Yeah, and I'd have to

54
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.400
argue with excuse me, dire Straits
when they were talking about no trumpet plane

55
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.599
band ain't what they call rock and
rool rock and roll. It is rock

56
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.199
and roll, and it's and they're
good. Um. And I'd forgotten all

57
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.639
about the Chicago Transit Authority Moniker until
you mentioned it while ago, and I'm

58
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.800
like, yeah, that's what That's
what they used to be called back in

59
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.319
the day. And then I started
dating it when we got the T shirt

60
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.120
Yesterday's ninety one and that was their
twentieth three that. Yeah, we got

61
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.879
to see them open for the Beach
Boys in uh the Woodlands in Texas down

62
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.399
north of Houston, and wasn't disappointed
a bit? Whatn't disappointed a bit?

63
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.199
Wow? So Paul, we get
to the tickets here, how much are

64
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.399
they? They range from I think
fifteen they started fifteen dollars to forty six

65
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.600
dollars. Very horrible, they are, Oh yeah, they had. Let

66
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.680
me tell you a little bit about
the Bartlefield Community College to do that,

67
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.879
because you guys got a little bit
of history. Two we do. We've

68
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.240
been providing concerts since nineteen thirty five, and a lot neither wanting you were

69
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:57.120
alive then, So don't give you
that thank you, thank you, And

70
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.040
they still a lot of people don't
know about us and they don't hear about

71
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.120
the concerts and everything we do.
Four per season. We start like in

72
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.639
September. I've got the list to
talk about in a little bit too.

73
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.879
But and so we have four shows
that go into like now until May,

74
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.160
and they're like you just said,
they're very affordable. They're family friendly,

75
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.879
like you said, groups that have
spanned the decades that kids are you know

76
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.399
now like you said, think they're
new, you know with Chicago and things

77
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.959
like that. And so we have
really good shows that go across the season,

78
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.000
and those tickets you can buy season
tickets. Season tickets are on sale,

79
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.399
will be on sale in August or
I think they're out there now maybe,

80
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.879
And those range from this is a
season now, this is for four

81
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.120
concerts, from forty dollars for the
you know, cheap seats, it's not

82
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.639
call them middle is seventy five and
one hundred and forty. So those are

83
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.279
season tickets for four four concerts.
And then with those you could still get

84
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.959
your student in free. College students
get in with the student ID. The

85
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.920
other younger need to be in with
a with an adult and get their free

86
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.480
ticket. Now you're talking one hundred
and forty dollars for a season ticket.

87
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.079
I know people who pay twice that
for a single ticket show these days.

88
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.439
So you're getting a great value.
How much your Taylor's Swift tickets going for

89
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.680
these days? I can't afford that
I take a mortgage out on the house.

90
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.120
I'm telling you, I'm telling now. In the venue, it's a

91
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.199
great venue. We we we saw
it the first time watching Willie Nelson downtown

92
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.600
when you first moved up here and
I was looking around there. There's not

93
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.120
a bad seat in the house if
you guys well know, since the cooking

94
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.079
school is always there and you just
cannot get a bad seat. Us it's

95
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.680
a great venue. It's if you're
in Washington County or even O Sage or

96
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.040
no Water County. It's within five
to thirty minutes away from home. So

97
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:46.759
you know, it's not like you
got to pack a lunch to go to

98
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.000
a concert. We go because we're
five minutes away from home. Piece of

99
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.639
cake. It's just a little too
far to walk. But yeah, I

100
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.959
get it. We live in the
same neighborhood. Y'd we'd be kind of

101
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.120
sweating a little bit. Yeah,
Well, when we come back, we're

102
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.480
going to talk a little bit more
about this show, but also some of

103
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.199
the cool shows that are coming up
next season as well. So you stay

104
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.000
right there. We'll be right back
after these words. Model morning, he

105
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.800
camp funeral home. Right, you're
right, kay, one the one he

106
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.519
trust. I'll never forget this.
Call my freshman roommate because mother called one

107
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.319
day and she said, Tim and
I can tell by her of course,

108
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.199
something wrong. And I said,
what's wrong? She said, can you

109
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.439
get my boy home from California?
He's passed away out there. And that

110
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.399
crushed me, but I said,
I sure will. I'll take care of

111
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.120
it. I said, I'll figure
it out. I will get your son

112
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.879
home. If that's what you do
when your loved one dies, doesn't matter

113
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.959
if it's three in the morning,
you call your funeral director and say,

114
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.120
tim, my loved one just died. What do I do? And I'll

115
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.879
tell you one of my greatest stories
I could tell. Six o'clock one Christmas

116
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.639
morning, a lady calls me.
She said, they came over to get

117
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.720
my aunt for Christmas breakfast and found
her dad in her home. What do

118
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.279
we do? I said, let
me get dressed. I'll be right there,

119
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.839
and we'll just walk through this together. It's to be all right and

120
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.839
take good care of her. Years
later, she told him that was the

121
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.920
single most comforting phrase she'd ever heard. It'll be all right. We will

122
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.360
walk through this together. Arnold Moore
and the camp you seven ten Dewey,

123
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:31.319

far away, when you appreciated crazy people

127
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:50.080
screaming at the music. We have
beginnings, and that is celebrating the music

128
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.000
of Chicago. And that's kind of
what you heard right there. That's coming

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.320
one thing I can say. Even
the stuff that didn't make it to the

150
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.039
radio, they never created a bad
song. We were fortunate enough to see

151
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.720
them in concert Nil Passo, Texas
involving in the early seventies. I gotta

152
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.879
fetcher of Paul and I going to
wearing black and white because I think that's

153
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.519
what Karen and Richard were wearing most
of the time, and so we don't

154
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.240
show that to everybody. My big
bell bottoms. We were on top of

155
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.120
the world. We were we were. It was a great ship, it

156
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.039
was a great show. The way
we choose these groups is we have an

157
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.440
annual meeting and what we get is
a list from a I believe it's a

158
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.200
talent agent, but he has all
these choices of groups that we can choose

159
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.840
from So we've got ten of us, I think on the board and we

160
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.000
get in there and have dinner,
and then we sit and listen to all

161
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:11.759
these different snippets and youtubes of all
these groups and then we vote and see

162
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.519
how that first round goes, if
we get our four, you know,

163
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.200
the top four, and then keep
going. So it was fun. It

164
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.360
was our first time to do that
this year, being on the board and

165
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.720
listen to them. We've been coding
to the concerts you know, the last

166
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.679
few years and just really enjoyed them
and stuff. So then after we retired,

167
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.679
we got on the board with them
and so that was our first time

168
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.039
to go through that. So that
was really a fun process too. And

169
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.799
this group's called the Empire Trio and
what they do is music from movies from

170
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.039
the world of film from nineteen thirty
to the mid nineties. Well shows songs

171
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.559
from Casablanca, James Bond, Titanic, The Wizard of Oz, and then

172
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.120
they share stories about the great singers
who performed them, from Judy Garland and

173
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.519
Frank Sinantras to Leandion and Barber stris
In. So this was just a really

174
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.039
different and the variety, you know, what struck us we all pretty much

175
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.519
voted for them. I think first, can you say no to it?

176
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.919
You know? Yeah? Yeah,
And that one is on Wednesday, February

177
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.279
seventh at seven thirty. All of
these so we've got a Monday at Thursday

178
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.440
and Wednesday. This is Thursday.
We were talking about this. Abacadabra or

179
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.480
Abacadabra. You say you got a
tribute to Abbot, Yeah, you gotta

180
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.519
have them, Mama Mia, Fernando
Sos Waterloo take a chance on me,

181
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.320
and it goes on and on.
That's Thursday, a pro eleventh at seven

182
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.919
thirty, twenty twenty four four.
Yeah, we're into next year, okay,

183
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.799
Fbruary And because we do this,
we start in September and then go

184
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.000
well, there's could be a block
of students from BHS, so we'll be

185
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.559
just buying them just a whole.
So this is just we think this is

186
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.879
a really good variety with all of
these, you know, and pick your

187
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.240
show. Like we talked about with
the season tickets, it's cheaper to buy

188
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.279
the season tickets and then maybe give
them to a friend if you don't want

189
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.480
to see one of these or something
there rather than individual tickets. You know,

190
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.279
it's time, so it's quality looking
for it's family entertainment, and it's

191
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.039
affordable entertainment. Not to mention the
fact, like I said, it's close

192
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.159
by. Yeah, you don't have
to get on in the Superstate to see

193
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.320
something you didn't know. Yeah,
I love it. Yeah, we've really

194
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.399
enjoy it's really good. It's really
good. You know, this is an

195
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.000
interesting community, and we say that
because there's a lot of different things that

196
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.320
happened here. We are able because
of the wonderful generosity of this community to

197
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.759
have the Bartlesville Community Center and that
beautiful auditorium and to have the Bartlesville Community

198
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.360
Concert Association fill it up four times
a year. That's a bonus, man,

199
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.360
that is a big bonus. And
the personnel. I don't want to

200
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.720
overlook the personnel at the community events. That's top nine. Jull Sheverton makes

201
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.799
me look like I'm a the technician. I just go, I know their

202
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.440
bills, everything okay, Yeah,
everything's fine. And Alison Swift, she

203
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:03.480
takes care of getting the people in
here. She's the event coordinator and she

204
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.559
does a great job. And then
they got docns. You can't swing a

205
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.399
dead cat in there during the concert
without hitting the doc and they love being

206
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.919
They just love being there. Yea, yeah, they do, they do.

207
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.039
They get to listen to the concerts. The two the name offhand,

208
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.679
Sam Duval and his wife Judy Duval
and Sean Braun. And Sean is the

209
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.279
head counter down at the Farmer's Market. And I saw him less past Saturday.

210
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.039
He's not sure he's gonna make Beginnings, but he doesn't want to miss

211
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.879
it. But because he's real familiar
with Chicago. Oh yeah, So anyway,

212
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.480
there's a great staff down there,
just great people. I don't know,

213
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.960
Sean, good guys, seany.
