FORE!
What better place to spend a warm Spring Sunday afternoon than teeing off at Grandpa's Woods? It is a busy place this time of year. We went out and gave it our best shot, too. For more information about Grandpa's Woods check out their website at http://www.grandpaswoods.com/
This is me at the clubhouse.

My turn! I'm really not bad.
Raynee likes the golf carts.
Garyn, Raynee, and me. It was a great day at Grandpa's Woods.

Blackwood Brothers Performing at the Lofte!
The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, a popular and enduring force in Gospel music, will be performing at the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley on Sunday, April 25th at 2pm.
The Blackwood Brothers have recorded over 200 albums and toured in 47 countries. They have won eight Grammy Awards and 6 Dove Awards. Over the years, the Blackwood Brothers have been guests on the Barbara Mandrell Show, Hee-Haw, and The Grand Old Opry. They have sung with Johnny Cash, Porter Wagoner, Tennessee Ernie Ford and many more. They were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in 1998. The group now consists of Jimmy Blackwood, Wayne Little, Randy Byrd and Brad White.
The original Blackwood Brothers formed in 1934 in Choctaw County, Mississippi. In 1954 the quartet performed on the "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts" show on television. Two weeks after winning the competition, two of the original Blackwood brothers, R.W. and Bill Lyles, were both killed in a plane crash in Alabama. The surviving Blackwoods regrouped, adding younger brother Cecil to sing baritone and J.D. Sumner singing bass.
Elvis Presley loved gospel music and attended many of the Blackwood concerts at the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis. When his mother, Gladys Presley, died in 1958, Elvis and his father asked the Blackwoods to sing at her funeral.
Tickets for this event are $16. Reservations are not required, but are strongly suggested. When the Lofte last hosted The Blackwood Brothers in 2008, the event was completely sold-out. More information can be found on the Lofte's website, www.Lofte.com, or by calling the box office at (402) 234-2553. Please join us on Sunday, April 25th at 2pm for this wonderful concert event!
Cowboy Up Rocks the House
Last weekend we followed Cowboy Up down to the Black Iron Grill in Rockport, Mo for a little dancing. Cowboy Up is one of the bands that volunteered to play at the fundraiser for the Youth to Carnegie Hall last year. The band members are from the South Bend, Plattsmouth, Omaha areas. We've been fans ever since! If you get a chance to see them you should go.
Earl sings to the ladies in the crowd while Al keeps the beat on the drums.
The food at the Black Iron Grill was great! Almost as good as Round-the-Bend!
