Bear Creek Farms with the Aldridge Sisters and Otwell Twins
Now that I have a whole day to return to normalcy....I can now give you details of my Thursday at Bear Creek Farms.
I wonder if this guy ever auditioned for the Maestro?
These are some sweet vintage wheels.....
....and yes, Indiana also makes fine wines, and not just know for auto racing, basketball and the Colts
Sheila and Sherry Aldridge
I went to see the Aldridge Sisters and the Otwell Twins perform.
Here's a few interesting shots I took at Bear Creek....
I saw both the 2:00 and 7:30 shows, they did a great job as always singing and entertaining the crowd. The Aldridge Sisters (Sherry and Sheila) began with "It Takes Two", followed by "Angel" dedicated to their sister Sue who passed away less than a year ago, excited the fans with "Dancing Queen" and very soulful and melancholic with "Blue Bayou".
Next up were the Otwell Twins (Roger and David), they sang about their Martin Guitars, saluted John Denver with "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and performed some of their own material like "How Do You Say Goodbye" just to name a few.
Later, the fellas were joined by the girls....and really brought back memories when they sang numbers like "Knee Deep In Loving You", "Oh Shenandoah", "Never Ending Song Of Love", "California Dreamin" and of course the Welk Show's Adios closing song!
The whole day was great, especially the meet and greet aftershows....it was like catching up with old friends.

The Aldridge Sisters and Otwell Twins at Bear Creek......so far
There's nothing quite like Autumn in Indiana in the countryside.
Especially at Bear Creek Farms where my pals, the Aldridge Sisters and the Otwell Twins are performing live in concert.
Isn't that delicioius? All under the watchful eyes of Mel Tillis.
Matinee show was terrific, too bad my seat wasn't that great....not ideal for picture taking but hopefully the evening show would bring more promise to this shutterbug.
I think I can get used to this simple country life....

Right now, I'm in between shows....saw the 2:00 and getting ready for the 7:30 in about two hours time, I'm now enjoying an old fashioned country dinner courtesy of the Bear Creek folks!

Love Can Be a Pain In The Heart
Tomorrow is the Aldridge Sisters and Otwell Twins concert at Bear Creek Farms in which I will be attending.
Nothing like spending a day out in the country!
The girls sang one of their songs on the show, titled "Love Can Be a Pain In The Heart".
It's a really great country song, She and Sher did a great job singing it....but sadly was never released nationwide as a single, I felt it would have easily been a Top 40 hit.
Have a listen, I think you'll like it.

And speaking of country, another Welk Milestone and Memory was made in 1983 when the Aldridge Sisters; Sherry and Sheila, appeared on the popular variety show Hee Haw.
