ANOTHER GREAT SHOW AT OHNWARD

A VERY GOOD SHOW, ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN AT OHNWARD!    THANKS
TO MAQUOKETA STATE BANK FOR PUTTING IT ON.    THE MAIN MAN WAS JIM WITTER...."THE PIANO MAN"....WITH 2 OTHER FINE MUSICIANS.     GOOGLE EITHER JIM WITTER OR THE PIANO MAN FROM CANADA FOR MORE ON THEM.
SEVERAL WERE CALLED UP FROM THE AUDIENCE TO HELP WITH A NUMBER.
THAT'S GENO AND GENIE AT THE MIKE, ALONG WITH SEVERAL MSB
EMPLOYEES....AND THEY WERE ALL A HIT TOO.
MAQUOKETA IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A NICE THEATRE LIKE OHNWARD AND THE GREAT SHOWS FOR  US TO ENJOY.....LAST NIGHT BRINGING TO IT...
THE GREAT SONGS OF BILLY JOEL AND ELTON JOHN...AND A LOT OF
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM THE 70'S THAT BROUGHT BACK LOTS OF
MEMORIES.   NO WONDER JIM AND ASSOCIATES LAST NIGHT GOT NOT ONE BUT TWO STANDING OVATIONS.
