This is New Wisco Weekend. I'm Lisa Hale.
Onstage for Cancer is a fundraising event coming up Thursday, July 31st at the Riverside
Ball Room in Green Bay to benefit Dennis Peters of the Glam Band, a member of the Green
Bay Music Scene who's battling pancreatic cancer. The P.O. family, Chris, Paul, and Elliott
recently appeared on Nightlight with Pete Chwava to discuss the event and share their music.
Here's the P.O. family.
You'll remember me when the West wind moves upon the fields of barley. You'll forget the sun in its
jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold.
So she took her love for two days a while upon the fields of barley.
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold.
Will you stay with me? Will you be my love among the fields of barley?
Will forget the sun in its jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold.
See the West wind move like a lover's soul upon the fields of barley.
Feel her body rise as you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold.
I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken but I swear in the day still left will walk in fields of gold.
The live entertainment in the studio with the P.O. family who are here talking about onstage for cancer which I will tell you a little more about it's coming up in just a couple of weeks.
Christine, Paul, and their son Elliott who has a mandolin which is so cool we heard fields of gold before.
So onstage for cancer takes place July 31st at the Riverside Ballroom here in Green Bay from 6 to 8 p.m.
And this is so great this year's beneficiary is Dennis Peters who is the leader of the glam band and a multi whammy winner.
We wish him well and it's so great that you guys are helping out with onstage for cancer.
So what else can people expect at this year's event?
I'll give you some of the song titles and we'll see if you can figure out like the note the theme.
All right chicken fried, Zach Brown chicken fried.
Okay.
95 by Deli Parton.
Okay.
Good by Yellowbrook Road.
Cracklin' Rosie.
I believe you're having me singing Margaritaville.
Margaritaville.
I get to put on some flip flops.
That's a great one.
My favorite thing.
A few of my favorite things to the end of the year.
But it's a super cool jazzy version.
I am not seeing a theme here.
Food and drink.
There is a food or drink reference I think in every...
But what does she say in 9 to 5?
What's the Deli Parton?
It's stumbled to the kitchen and you pour a cup of ambition.
An ambition.
Which either could be a gin and tonic or coffee.
I mean, it was coffee.
Just how much ambition do you need?
That's really what it is.
Is it hair or the dog or do you just need coffee?
Exactly.
I would love to hear you guys play something else.
Yeah.
We're going to do landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
Love it.
This is the Piat family, Christine, Paul and Elliott.
And Elliott is featured tonight.
So take your way whenever you're ready.
I think my kids work a little bit.
I took my love and it took it down.
I climbed the mountain and I turned around.
And I saw my reflection in snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down.
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sell through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my heart?
Well, I've been afraid of changing
because I build my life around you.
But I make sure older even children get older
and I'm getting older too.
Well, I've been afraid of changing
because I build my life around you.
But I make sure older even children get older
and I'm getting older too.
Oh, I'm getting older.
