Merrill Gardens always seems to enjoy having us to come and play for them, and this early Father’s Day performance was no exception.  Betty David was our band leader and chose a nice variety of songs that the group enjoyed listening to, singing with, and dancing to.  Some of the songs that we played were, “Take Me Out to The Ball Game,” “This Land Is Your Land,” “California Here I Come,” “Bill Bailey,” and “Shanty Town.”  Our singers were:  Kit Nelson, Bud Pearce, Mickie McDonald, Don Granberg, and Chris Lardge.  Other members in our band were:  Guy Black, Tom Brunetti, Karen Hefter, Garry Kerr, Phil and Linda Myers, and Ardie Jarrett.  Bob Nelson was our support member and took pictures throughout the afternoon.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and have a good time and one couple danced to several songs!
