Fundraiser for Honor Flight Network –September 11^th

Duluth, MN…….The popular Northland music group “Rock a Billy Revue” will present “Salute Our Heros,” a fundraiser for the Honor Flight Northland, Sunday September 11^th at the Great Lakes Conference & Banquet Center at Barkers Island in Superior.

Honor Flight Northland, a group that sends veterans to Washington DC to tour the WWII Memorial, is currently planning a second flight for this October. The first flight in May was a resounding success so plans have been made for the second flight.

“The WWII veterans that participate in the Honor Flight do so at no expense to them so we’ve organized this fundraiser to help send the next group to this historic and important site” said Donny Buck, band leader and organizer of the event. “These men and women, who sacrificed so much to save the world from tyranny, deserve this opportunity to see the Memorial that has been built honoring them.”

Salute Our Hero’s runs from 6PM to 10PM and will include live music by Rock a Billy Revue and a short presentation on the first Honor Flight. A $10 donation is requested to attend with ALL proceeds going directly to Honor Flight Northland.

TALK OF THE TOWN THEME SONG

The theme song for my radio show was created in 1978. Jack Bell, Manager of WEBC Radio at the time, was kicking off an "I LOVE DULUTH" promotion on the station and wanted a theme song for the promotion. He composed a long poem called Duluth and asked me who could put music to it. I told him about my friend Bill Sandwick who was a very good writer and played in a group called Winterwood. Bill took the poem and did an extensive edit job and put his music to it. The song that you hear open the first and second hour of my show every week was the final result. It's a catchy tune and really says "Duluth" even though the name is never mentioned once in the song.

The original recording of the song "Duluth" by Winterwood is available on the CD: Radio Play '70-'81 on the DuluthRocked CD Series. The CD is available at the Electric Fetus, Barnes and Noble, Globe News in Superior and at www.duluthrocked.com.

Note: The rooster crowing at the beginning of the song as you hear it on the radio is NOT part of the original recording.
