We at Brookdale were pleasantly entertained last evening by the music of Paul Siebert. He had a Concert at Olde Glory Theater downtown and the theater financed his coming up and performing for a very appreciative audience here. He is an outstanding vocalist and musician. His repertoire of music included many of the old favorites from the '30's, 40's and 50's. He invited us to sing along with him which added to the pleasure. Some of the songs I hadn't sang since Jon and I did them years ago. He started out with the Guitar and went on with the Ukulele, Banjo, Hammer Dulcimer, and Accordion. I visited with him afterward and told him of how son Jon plays many of the same instruments and entertains. Sometime when Jon is back we will see if we can get him "booked" in here for some entertainment.The Accordion that Siebert played was very similar to the one that Jon has that my Dad used to play. Jon calls it a Concertina since it has only 2 rows of keys (buttons).
He also played some Irish songs including "Red Wing" which I hadn' t heard for years. I may have even "blushed" while singing it because of the memory rekindled of one of my farmer friends version of it. We just finished watching Duke beat Notre Dame 88-66 at Duke's Camerion Stadium. They needed this kind of win after losing at home to Virginia on Saturday. Duke is still ranked #4. Our attention will now be turned to seeing Nebraska at Wisconsin. This is the most exciting team that Tim Miles has had for some time and has a good chance of getting into the NCAA tournament in March. The most recent appearance of Nebraska in "The Show" was 20 years ago in 1998.
