a publisher. A “paperback” is
cheaper than a traditional hardcover
book. At the time, paperbacks were

The Texas Tenors
8 p.m.,
July 14
With their Emmy Award winning PBS
special and Billboard chart topping albums,
The Texas Tenors are America’s favorite
new tenors.
Since their debut six years ago on NBC’s
“America’s Got Talent,” The Texas Tenors
have performed more than 1,000 concerts
around the world, including in the United
Kingdom; Shanghai, China; and in collaborations with prestigious U.S. symphonies. The
Texas Tenors were recently named the No.
10 Classical Artist in the world, according
to Billboard magazine.
From Bruno Mars to Puccini, Marcus
Collins, John Hagen and JC Fisher bring a
unique blend of country, classical, broadway
and current pop music—with a touch of
cowboy charm.
18
M JC Fisher
JC is the founder of The
Texas Tenors. In high
school, he had a passion
for sports and enjoyed
singing in church. JC

including Rodolfo in
“La Boheme,” Tamino

Mascagni’s “Gulglielmo
Ratcliff.” He created
three tenor roles in the

regarded for his performances of the Verdi Requiem and Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 9 in many
U.S. symphonies.
Marcus Collins
MThe tenors have performed over 1,000

festive fare.
Koffel’s Food Service provides American diner fare—tacos, hamburgers, hotdogs, BLTs, candy and soda to go for the show. It’s located in
the parking lot adjacent to the Amphitheater near St. Andrews.

Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival
Since 1994, Brad Ford has performed as John Fogerty, pioneering the
Creedence Clearwater Revival Tribute:
Fortunate Son.
Combining timeless CCR favorites
and John Fogerty’s solo hits, Fortunate
Son unites rock, country, blues, and folk
music like no other tribute.
The band plays all the classics— the
swampy blues of “Born on the Bayou”
and “Green River,” the country classics of “Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi”
and “Lookin’ Out My Back Door” and
rock anthems such as “Proud Mary,”
“Centerfield,” “Who’ll Stop the Rain”
and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”
The band has delivered the authentic
sound, look and feel of John Fogerty in
front of Creedence Clearwater Revival in
performances across America, Canada,
Europe and Asia.

FOUR FRESHMAN
In The Beginning
1948
In 1948, four young men created a sound that forever changed the way vocal jazz harmony was heard and performed. Known as The Four Freshmen, the group started with
two brothers, Don and Ross Barbour, their cousin Bob Flanigan and friend Hal Kratzsch.
With a soaring true tenor in Bob Flanigan, the group began a sound —playing bowling
alleys and small clubs across the country—that has endured for over six decades. Early on
in their career, the Freshmen met Stan Kenton. He had heard the rumors of a vocal group
that sounded like his band. Once Kenton heard them, he got the Freshmen signed in 1950.
During the Capital years, the Freshmen had some of their biggest hits, including their first
hit with Capital, “It’s A Blue World.”
And Now
The group never disbanded, even after the last original
member, Bob Flanigan, retired in 1993. During its long history, The Four Freshmen had 24 distinct line-ups among 25
different members.
The current Four Freshmen lineup:
BOB FERREIRA joined the Freshmen in 1992, sings the
bass vocal part and plays drums. In his tenure with the Freshmen, Ferreira has performed in 50 states, over 10 countries and
is credited on 11 band recordings.
TOMMY BOYNTON from Aurora, Co., is the newest

RICK SCHULER
A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF JOHN DENVER
‘
It is here we must begin
To seek the wisdom
of the children
And the graceful way of
flowers in the wind.
’
—John Denver,
“Rhymes And Reasons” lyrics
SHOWTIME
Rick Schuler’s Tribute to John Denver—
Rocky Mountain High Experience
8 p.m., Aug. 4
Sponsored in part by Charles Briskey On-Site Sales
26
Louisiana-born and Missouri-raised Rick
Schuler was 13 when comparisons to the then
wildly popular John Denver began. He first
mastered Denver’s revered “Sunshine on My
Shoulders,” and that was the start of a lifelong
salute to American singer-songwriter, actor,
activist and humanitarian.
At 18, Rick was featured on a TV show
“Incredible Kids & Co” on CBS. After a
subsequent radio performance on “The Jack
Carney Show” starring as “The John Denver
Guy,” Rick moved to California to pursue his
own Americana songwriting career. But he
continued to perform Denver’s music.
Rick’s Denver-inspired country roads led
him to Aspen, Colo., where he attended his
first John Denver tribute. During the course
of the two-day event, Rick met several of
Denver’s former band mates and close friends
who were nothing short of astonished by the
similarities the two shared in look, sound and
musical talent.
Rick’s tribute to Denver embodies the
longing for home, the longing for love and
the longing for God through nature that are
at the heart of Denver’s hit songs.
SUMMER AT THE SHOW
Avoid the post-Amphi jam by hopping on a free bus
Free GRF Minibuses will be available to
transport LWers to and from Thursday evening
Amphitheater performances. The regularly
scheduled evening “B” bus will run from 5:54
p.m.-8 p.m. There are five stops at the HCC/
Amphitheater between 6:18 and 7:44 p.m.
Passengers can also flag down buses
from safe curbside locations along any of the
Minibus routes.
Check the LW Minibus schedule for
specific times and travel routes. (Minibus
schedules are available at The News Office.)
A minibus will be at the Amphitheater,
ready to board, about 15 minutes before the
end of the show.
The bus driver will take riders to safely
accessible locations near their LW homes. If
the minibus is full, the driver will return to
pick up remaining passengers.
There are over 60 bus benches and shelters
throughout the community, so people can
comfortably wait for a shuttle to roll by.
The blue-and-white shuttles are a fixture
in Leisure World and provide easy roundtown transportation, including to and from
Amphitheater shows.

loosely based on The Supremes, went on to
become an Oscar-winning film.
This tribute focuses on the true story of
The Supremes’ rise to fame and their familiar
classic hits, including “Baby Love,” “Stop!
In The Name Of Love,” “You Can’t Hurry
Love,” “Love Child,” “Where Did Our Love
Go,” “Come See About Me,” “Ain’t No
Mountain High Enough,” “Stoned Love,”
and “Back In My Arms Again.”
Wendy Edmead, Tai Lewis and
Marianne Lewis have each performed
in scores of musicals and television
shows.
The Supremes vocals are so true
to the original recordings that it must
be pointed out that they are singing
live and not lip-syncing.
Supreme Reflections is a full-scale
musical comedy revue that will give
new appreciation to one of the most
popular female vocal groups in the
world.
