From the April 6, 2015, KY3 News "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will play at Springfield Route 66 festival."
The concert will take place at the Gillioz Theatre Friday, August 14th. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, famous for songs like "Fishon' in the Dark," "Mr. Bojangles" and their "Will the Circle be Unbroken" album will headline.
Special guest will be Pure Prairie League. Their breakout album was their second one "Bustin' Out" with the hit song "Amy." Plus they were famous for using Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post cover of the old cowpoke, Sad Luke. Pure Prairie League was a major influence on the country rock genre.
I really like both of these groups and am a confirmed Prairie Dog as PPL fans call themselves. I have always figured that if I ever become a disc jockey at a radio station and have my "Down Da Road" show, the PPL tune "Two Lane Highway" would be my theme song.
Might Even Be There. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
