A great weekend of music at Trout's Nightclub on The Blackboard Stage. Starting on Thursday we had some great talent on stage for the jam session with the B-Town Players right after line dance lessons. The B-Town Players, Don & Annie Kidwell, Betty Casey Jackson & Johnny Barnett backed musicians George Tillett, Lloyd Reeding, Gordon Cantrell, David Reeves Carpenter, Noah & the Noel Emmett Band.

Friday saw The Westerners Don & Annie Kidwell, Larry Petree, Dave Drewry & special guest Pat "Banny" Banister. There was a great crowd. The dance floor was full of great dancers. Ron Coleman formerly of the Everly Brothers dropped in for a visit. You never know who you might run into at Trout's!

On Saturday The Westerners & Banny were back with another night of great music. The dance floor was packed and everyone was having a wonderful time. Mark Bowman & Rick Troxel came by to see the new Blackboard side.

 On Sunday there was a tremendous turnout for the Bakersfield Country Music Museum's "Young Pioneer" Fundraiser hosted by Trout's. Then we had the longest running country music jam session anywhere with the B-Town Players. Musicians who shared the stage were George Tillett, Brandi Crippen from Visalia, Jeff Cameron, Noah, Dan Bales & David Reeves Carpenter. The very talented Theresa Spanke was in the house. we were hoping to hear her lovely voice but she had dinner reservations and had to leave. Maybe next week (we hope!)
