Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It
Speaker 1: is time now for our community connection right here on
Speaker 1: K one, the one you trust in on the telephone. Here,
Speaker 1: I've got one splendid entertainer. Might you might have seen
Speaker 1: Jacob Deck out in Branson. How are you doing, Jacob?
Speaker 2: I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 1: Oh? I'm doing super You know how it is, you know,
Speaker 1: sunshine and makes the world go around, and also music,
Speaker 1: big music makes the world go around. You're coming all
Speaker 1: the way from Branson to Bartlesville. What you're bringing with you?
Speaker 2: We are bringing back in time, a journey through the decade.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, this sounds like it's got a little
Speaker 1: bit of something from everyone. What kind of decades we're
Speaker 1: talking about here?
Speaker 2: We are doing every decade from the nineteen fifties all
Speaker 2: the way up to twenty ten.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Sakes. So they're singing and dancing and
Speaker 1: a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, singing and singing, so much fun, high energy, you know,
Speaker 2: big show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I understand this is all done by seven
Speaker 1: singers and dancers. How does that? How'd you do that?
Speaker 2: So we get together and we rehearse. We have about
Speaker 2: we've just started rehearsal. So we have about four and
Speaker 2: a half weeks of rehearsal and we come together in
Speaker 2: a studio. We learn all of our vocals ahead of time.
Speaker 2: We have all the music kind of laid out for everyone.
Speaker 2: We have all of their vocal parts and everything recorded
Speaker 2: so that all they have to do is listen to it,
Speaker 2: you know, on their headphones or in their car or whatever.
Speaker 2: And then they come in and they learn the choreography
Speaker 2: from me, and then we clean it and then we
Speaker 2: take it on the road.
Speaker 1: Wow, we that is something else. How long you been
Speaker 1: doing this?
Speaker 2: So this particular show, we are in our second year
Speaker 2: of the show, but performing in general and choreographing, that's
Speaker 2: that's all I've ever done my whole life. So it
Speaker 2: kind of is like a second nature, all right.
Speaker 1: So this is called a bat Back in Time, a
Speaker 1: journey through the decades. We're gonna be at the Center
Speaker 1: here in Arnival Phille on October twenty third. The showtime
Speaker 1: is seven thirty pm, and we have tickets ranging from
Speaker 1: twenty one dollars to twenty six dollars. That's that's rather
Speaker 1: inexpensive considering the kind of show one is going to receive.
Speaker 2: Deal.
Speaker 1: I think I do too. Now, when you do your
Speaker 1: shows in Brandson, that's a lot of fun because you know,
Speaker 1: you can go right home and sleep in your own
Speaker 1: bed each night. But when you take it on the road,
Speaker 1: that's a whole different story.
Speaker 2: It is a whole different story. Yep.
Speaker 1: Oh man. So what do you like most about the
Speaker 1: show other than the time span, which is incredible.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, besides all of the music from the decades,
Speaker 2: I love the dancing in it. I think we have
Speaker 2: tried to really take dance moves from each decade. So
Speaker 2: I think, you know, if people were dancers back in
Speaker 2: their day, they're going to recognize some of these moves
Speaker 2: for sure, especially disco. Disco is my favorite. We do
Speaker 2: lots of disco dancing in the seventy segment, So I
Speaker 2: think people will really like the dancing, and I think
Speaker 2: they'll really like our cast. We have a great cast,
Speaker 2: and we all really really really love each other and
Speaker 2: we get along, and I think that that resonates into
Speaker 2: the audience for sure.
Speaker 1: You know, if you take three generations, you know, Grandma, grandpa,
Speaker 1: mom and daddy and the kids, the kids are gonna
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a giggle from time to time,
Speaker 1: and you know it's worth it. Distance see that smile.
Speaker 1: You really wore those clothes, You really moved like that,
Speaker 1: you really listen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we also have some crazy wigs too, so whenever
Speaker 2: we get to the seventies, you'll see some crazy seventies
Speaker 2: haired you know, fair faucet, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So there's definitely some stuff that the kids will will
Speaker 2: get a kick out of.
Speaker 1: My goodness sake, this sounds like it's a it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun and only seven people putting all that
Speaker 1: energy together and having all that kind of fun. And still,
Speaker 1: like I said, I can't believe the ticket prices. You
Speaker 1: guys must be must be working for food. I mean, no,
Speaker 1: I'm kid, I'm kidding, But this is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: This is really gonna be great. I imagine we're probably
Speaker 1: gonna get pretty close to house, if not a full house,
Speaker 1: just for this show because of the big time that
Speaker 1: it takes here, with the journey through the decades all
Speaker 1: the way from the nineteen fifties when rockabilly was king
Speaker 1: to the sixties. Well, I thinks we're kind of mod
Speaker 1: fab and geared the seventies with the everything from the
Speaker 1: disco to you know, other types of folk, and then eighties,
Speaker 1: nineties and two thousands has shaped a lot of people
Speaker 1: who are walking around today earning eleven that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And we also have two separate eighties segments,
Speaker 2: So we have an eighties rock segment for all of
Speaker 2: those people that loved eighties rocks, and then we have
Speaker 2: like an eighties pop segment with Whitney Houston, Wham, you know,
Speaker 2: artists like that. So there really is something for everyone.
Speaker 1: Wow. You know. The thing was music was so diverse
Speaker 1: back in the fifties, sixties and seventies and eighties, and
Speaker 1: now they've got like little genre with they called genres
Speaker 1: or pigeon holes and stuff like that. Used to be
Speaker 1: you can turn on the radio and you would be
Speaker 1: able to hear what were the top songs of the day.
Speaker 1: One of them might be a country song, one of
Speaker 1: them might be a rockabilly song, another one might be
Speaker 1: what they call a standard, and it all kind of
Speaker 1: blended together. This is like turning on the radio from
Speaker 1: way back when and just having fun.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It is man alive. So this performance with seven people
Speaker 1: back in time, a journey through the decades, high energy,
Speaker 1: so does this mean that you get a little little
Speaker 1: cardio going on this one?
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, for sure. We are moving the whole show.
Speaker 2: We start high energy and it just does not stop.
Speaker 2: It goes the whole show. There's even some audience participation.
Speaker 2: We asked the audience to kind of get up and
Speaker 2: groove with us a couple of times. So that should
Speaker 2: be fun for everyone as well.
Speaker 1: Did someone say audience participation?
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: You got about every hot dog in the four count
Speaker 1: the area ready to go. Now, everybody likes to be
Speaker 1: a part of the show. You know, this is really great. Uh,
Speaker 1: the you know, the the program that you've got coming
Speaker 1: up here really exciting. But you know, when you when
Speaker 1: you're back in Branson, Uh, that's that town has changed
Speaker 1: over the years. I remember when it was just a strip.
Speaker 1: He had a couple of little theaters, a couple of
Speaker 1: little restaurants, and maybe maybe two or three hotels and
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 2: There, that's about it.
Speaker 1: And that was it, and you could go through town
Speaker 1: and pretty quick. But now not so much anymore. This
Speaker 1: is like the entertainment mecca for families.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes it is. It is definitely a family entertainment
Speaker 2: base and there's no way that you would be able
Speaker 2: to get through all of Branson in even a week.
Speaker 2: I don't think you could use it.
Speaker 1: Used to be you can get through it in about
Speaker 1: a day and a half and then have something right
Speaker 1: about and talk about and everything else like that. Now
Speaker 1: you've got folks coming back for more. Now where do
Speaker 1: you perform when you are in Branson?
