Bartlesville Music Scene... from Bridget....

I know I am leaving some stuff out but at this time this is all I know about because I am directly involved in it.... this is deadline week for The Current and of course OK Mozart os going on so I am beyond busy. Friday night is the Dustin Pittsley Band at the Red Dog.....special guest is keyboard/organ player John Galley who has played on many grammy winning records.....Saturday night the Jimmie Johnson band will be at the Million Dollar Elm Casino and John Galley will be playing there as well, but he is no longer a special guest. He's just part of the band. Things always seem to work that way... bands interbreed and form alliances... the Dustin Pittsley Band and the Jimmie Johnson band are pretty bad about it and I notice that Tuff Profit, Deeper and Hell or High Water do it alot too. This is, of course how it should be with everyone trading equipment and borrowing players. Speaking of that sort of thing, I know that people on the Mothra Stewart/Doubletake side of the world are having a hard time with the flood situation and I know Ron Dunkles house is the one that caught on fire, so everyone should get in touch with these people and see what needs to be done to help them out. We have enough gear to be able to keep them all playing until they get it replaced I am sure.Make sure if you have something going on you e mail me and let me know for this weekend as well as anything you might have goin on in July.... If I get it in the next day I an still get it in The Current and of course I can slide anything in here at any time. Next week I will begin working on stories for the August issue and will need information for that month asap as I am going on vacation in Colorado for several days.Looks like the Woolaroc concert might be moved indoors so make sure and call the BCC box office before you head out for the concert! Call 336-2787 for up to the minute info. I personally will be wherever the concert is held. It will be a shame to miss the fireworks and the beauty that is Woolaroc, but it would be more of a shame to miss the music. Dueling fiddles played by world class violinist's in my hometown is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am not going to miss that. I urge you not to as well.
