 Since 1967, the Barbary
Coast Dixieland Band has set thousands of toes tapping at the
Minnesota State Fair, the Ordway Theatre and over the airwaves of
WCCO radio, besides over 50 performances for concert series in the
Midwest, plus additional appearances in Arizona, Florida and on a
Mississippi paddle-wheel riverboat, as well as in Nagasaki, Japan.
Members of the band are Dick Petersen on banjo, Dick Ramberg on
clarinet and piano, Jim "Ten" Bensel on trombone, Tom Andrews on
drums and clarinet, Steve Pikal splitting time between bass and
trombone, and Russ Peterson playing reeds and brass and also
singing.
This season is the 52nd year for the Lincoln Land Community
Concert Association.
Judy Awe, campaign secretary for the association, said: "We are
very proud of the caliber of talent we can bring to our area and
still keep season ticket prices at a reasonable level. The continued
support of our membership allows us to offer four performances
locally. An exciting agreement with two other central Illinois
concert associations will allow us to attend full-season concerts in
Pekin and Pontiac with the price of a season membership."
The prices for season membership are $40 for adults, $20 for
students and $85 for a family membership, which includes two adults
and children living at home.

Drive, or phone her at 217-732-4758.
