Dave & Dawn Mundt entertained at Brookdale this afternoon where 4 members of the Staff were honored. Dawn had been here earlier with another lady who went by the "Kramer Sisters". As a retired insurance adjuster, Dave said that as he was along with the "sisters" and saw the happiness in the faces of the audiences, he decided that he wanted to become part of bringing pleasure to people. He is an excellent vocalist with his voice blending beautifully with his wife's. In addition to singing, he also played a "drum box" that he sat on and a "scarecrow" for accompaniment to polka music. They began with the 1948 song of Eddy Arnold singing "Bouquet of Roses" and followed with "Any Time".
The Dining room was filled with residents that enjoyed the staff recognition, treats that were served and the entertainment. Dawn played the Guitar and at times a Mouth harp along with it. While much of the music was the classic country western and WWII songs, Dawn played a few polkas on the button accordion. She is the daughter of Leonard Beckwar who had a polka band for many years. They closed with the Eddy Arnold song "May the Good Lord Bless and Keep you". It was great entertainment, and we look forward to their being back.
