SWEET ADELINES TO PRESENT SHOWS SATURDAY

Country-flavored barbershop harmony will fill the Concord Theater Saturday when the Girardot Rose Chorus of Sweet Adelines, International, presents it annual show.

The first performance will be a special 4 p.m. matinee for senior citizens. Tickets for the matinee are $3.

The chorus, which is under the direction of Pat McClain, will entertain for the general public at 8 p.m.

The setting for the musical show is the Achy-Break Club, where the saga of Delta Dawn's unpredictable lovelife unfolds. The original script was written by chorus members Sharon Schwarz, Judy Hanebrink and Charlotte Hazen.

The songs include "When Will I Be Loved," "Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown" and "Southern Nights."

Special numbers include "Train Wreck of Emotions," "Delta Dawn" and "Bill Grogan's Goat."

Special guests will be the Western Kentucky Chordmasters.

The second half of the show will offer popular songs from the '40s, including "In the Mood," "Heartache," "Blue Bayou" and "Everything Old is New Again."

Members of the Sweet Adelines hail from Sikeston, Benton, Jackson, Frohna, Oak Ridge, Oakville and Cape Girardeau in Missouri, and Villa Ridge, Cache and Cairo in Illinois.

Tickets are available in advance by calling 334-6550.

The organization also is presenting a six-session class for women who want to learn to sing four-part harmony. The free session will begin at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Cape Rock Drive and Perryville Road.
