Good morning everybody.
Time to wake up and greet the world with a smile.
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's
Hey, how about that?
Eddie B in the band.
Good morning everybody.
A very happy Sunday morning blessing and greeting to each and every one of you.
My good friend Joe Plesinski and his old family, Kathy, the kids, the whole staff, invite you in today.
They bring you our Sunday morning mini polka fest each and every Sunday morning from 6.30 to 7 o'clock.
That's right.
Eddie B, everybody's reaching out for somebody, huh?
Or someone.
Eddie B. in the band for Joe Plozinski, his old neighbor from down the street in Chicago.
Well, they're opening in about another, oh let's see, 25 minutes or so at 1100 West Phon Lack Street.
It's Mr. and Mrs. Pease, Edrie.
You know, after seven o'clock, if you don't want to get all dressed up, you don't want to wear your jammies and drive over through the drive-thru, you can do that too.
Just make sure you put your shoes and socks on, okay?
It's Mr. and Mrs. Pease today from seven until two.
every day except Mondays and Tuesdays.
Wednesday through Sunday, 7 to 2.
Delicious food.
Try the Greek omelet.
Try any one of their delicious skillets.
The Polish skillet is out of sight.
All the different things he puts in that.
I should take a cooking class from Joe one of these day, huh?
We got a song coming up here by Gary Brighan in the band.
you
you
Gary bringing in the band a little bit of the Sills button box polka We have a band called and I got this queued up right here Richie Yurkovich and his band and he's gonna play a song nobody waltzes quite like you do
wants to fight you.
Oh, nicely done, Richie Yurkovic in his band from Willard, Wisconsin.
And sometimes, you know, these summer events really get busy, so many picnics and things that you can attend.
Today, they got that big one over there in Princeton, starts later this morning, goes till this afternoon.
Come on over to Mr. and Mrs. Pease, have a nice breakfast, and then have lunch over in Princeton.
Joe wants to thank all the people from Princeton that stop over so regularly to Mr. and Mrs. P's eatery.
He wanted me to give them a plug for their big picnic today, their fundraiser.
But come for breakfast, then go over there for lunch later today.
Mr. and Mrs. P's saluting their hardworking folks at St.
John's in Princeton.
We have, coming up right now on I Turn Table, Ralph Tall and a Good Time Dutchman.
And Ralph, he's playing there today from 11 to 3 in Princeton.
They'll be over in Princeton later this morning, not the whole band, just a trio.
One of the famous things that Joe has many, many thoughts while he's working in a kitchen, one of the great things about it being a senior citizen, one of the things to talk about as a senior is trying to figure out why Johnny can't read, write, add, subtract, converse, appreciate the past, or even say thank you or please.
Do you notice how many of our grandkids don't know how to do cursive writing anymore?
They don't teach that in the school.
When I was in fourth grade as a teacher, I taught everything from science to penmanship, science, social studies, appreciate our past, learn where we came from, so you know where you're going.
Great thoughts from Mr. P. Dropolaczynski.
Let's get back to another song.
Get over there, maybe he'll tell you a favorite words of wisdom today too.
We've got Jim Peckle in this band from Martha Wausau, but I think it's Peggy's Walls.
Nicely done Jim Pickle on the band and Peggy's Walls.
We got Johnny Hoffman and his band from down near Milwaukee.
How about a little bit of that jelly roll with our morning cup of coffee?
Hey, there you go, Johnny Huffman and a little bit of that jelly rope.
Got a little bit of that jelly on my shirt while we were doing that song.
Dan Jr.
is gonna be called up on the trumpet and piano and as well, Michelle on the vocal from Copper Box.
How about a little bit of that Tennessee Walls?
Mr. P here.
As consumers search for a meal out, they will find many choices.
We offer you an eatery where you can put your knees under the table and get a delicious meal.

Thank you for getting up so early.
Maple Crestor with us today, Willow Creek Creamery Tower View Assistant Living in Rosendell.
Pre-B sales and service right out of Ripon.
K-Crete for all your concrete, flatwork, Graphic Sider Letter Company.
You gotta love that kiln family.
Vanna brings produce stand on Ripon's west side.
And let's see, Brewer heating and cooling air with us, Holman Chevrolet Buick GMC, Prairie Place, assisted in independent living, our local Hivey grocery store, the Horkon Bank, member FDIC, your equal housing lender.
Pedals and plows are with us, the Kaufman Boys just north of Rush Lake.
Then we have the Horkon Bank, member FDIC, your equal housing lender.
Well, I think we got a dandy show picked up for, picked off for you today.
I hope you can stick around for the whole thing.
We got Mel Tillis coming up to the
microphone.
Through the storm Through the night Lead me on
To
the
light
Take
my
hand Precious Lord, lead me home When my way Grewth dreared Precious Lord
Linger near when my life, when my life is gone Hear my cry, hear my call Hold my hand, lest I fall Take my hand, precious Lord, leave me home
When the darkness appears And the night draws near And the day, the
At the river I stand, guide my feet Hold my hand, take my hand
Precious Lord, lead me home Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I am weak I am worn Through the storm, through the night
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
That young fella definitely had a unique style.
Mel Tillis.
Good job there, Mel.
Have there ever been any occasions or opportunities in your life where you had a chance to do something but you just didn't have enough money, saved up, or in your pocketbook to do it, and you wished you had a few extra bucks?
Well, even as senior citizens go, the Hurricane Bank are there to help you out.
They have what they call as a home equity loan.
You can borrow money against the value of your property at a very low interest rate.
The Hurricane Bank in downtown Rippon, member FDIC, your equal housing lender.
And that last part of the tag is important, your equal lending partner.
There you go.
It's the Hurricane Bank.
They've been around for over 120, some years now I guess, huh?
And although so many people turn to relatives in the past, maybe you yourself did that as a youngster.
maybe when you first got married you need a few bucks you went to the folks and they helped you out but nowadays it's a different thing so many young people they put everything on plastic credit cards and that credit card interest can gobble them up senior citizens don't do that so often i have a credit card that i use for only one bill it's whether you pay automatic pay your expenses like for my dish tv
Your direct TV comes right off, pays the bank, and I don't have to send them a check.
I just go to the bank and give them a check.
It's a lot easier that way.
Sometimes it's nice to have business done that way.
It's your Horkon Bank.
Remember FDIC, your equal housing lender.
You want to talk a little bit this morning about not only the Horkon Bank, but how about Kcreate?
When it comes to concrete flatwork, a lot of people don't need it because they don't have
patios or they don't have sidewalks made out of concrete or even driveway.
But for those of you that do, and there is a good percentage of you out there, craycrete might be able to just help you out with some of those problems down the line.
You might have a cracked patio and it makes you rather uncertain whether or not you want to have guests over because your concrete looks so terrible.
Some people, those cracks really go deep and it just seems like everything is crumbling away.
Let
Fix up all your concrete warrior right here on ripping 9 2 0 2 7 9 8 8 5 4 That's K creed for driveways sidewalks and inside brand new buildings 2 7 9 8 8 5 4 Get a free quote at least you know exactly what direction you want to go in it's K creed out of ripping 2 7 9 8 8 5 4 for all your concrete flatwork You know driveways sidewalks and patios.
It's a good call
This is a song I don't believe I've ever played on the program in all the years we've been here.
It's done by the Spencer's and it's entitled Chances
Are.
And if you can't see me on the golden street Chances are you'll find me at the Savior's feet Chances are you'll find me at the Savior's feet For that's where I'll be
star
But chances are you'll find me At the Savior's feet Jesus came from heaven
Chains is all
But chances are you'll find me At the Savior's feet Chances are you'll find me At the Savior's feet For that's
Oh, I
like that.
Do you like that?
I hope you do.
That's a nice dandy one.
I'll make a mark on the caster to play that one again sometime.
David Patil was with us.
He's gonna do a song entitled Saved by the Bell.
When I was a little younger Back in my hometown The church down on
Had a bell that rang real loud The families all were gathered When Sunday rolled around We could tell that it was church time When we heard the ringing and sounded I sat on the back row And the day began to sing I could tell they all were happy By the way their voices rang But I was missing something Just what I could tell
Then I got just what I needed underneath that old shirt.
It's still ra-
David
Petillo.
How'd you like that one?
I thought that was pretty good too.
So far we're hitting a hundred, batting a hundred year on our Sunday morning get together.

They tell me I'm home.

Willie Nelson another classic on our Sunday morning get-together Every day around three o'clock between three and three thirty I will make a trip to the refrigerator open the door and take out some nice chilled watermelon and the watermelon this year I got to be honest has been delightful it is wonderful at Vanderbrink's produce stand you pick up one of those sea-less watermelons you chill it overnight
then you can either carve it up, cut the rind off and just put the watermelon pieces in like a Tupperware bowl and help yourself.
Korky says, are you in the refrigerator?
Yep.
Are you having watermelon?
Yep, you know that.
She said, how about saving me a few pieces?
So I'll put some in the bowl and save some for her too.
That way she don't have to make a trip to the refrigerator because I already got my nose in there.
If you're looking for fresh watermelons, cantaloupes, potatoes, sweet corn by the dozens.
Oh my goodness, so good.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, beets.
They got peaches by the case from Michigan and also North Carolina.
Bing cherries.
They got so many wonderful things there.
Check out all the different vegetable produce they have.
Plus nine varieties of Amish fry pies.
You gotta try those.
Emma and Kyle came up from Milwaukee last week and we went out to eat at Mr. and Mrs. Peas and on the way home I said to them I said would you like some fry pies take back with you yeah so I gave me tonight's fry pie I think Kyle took a blueberry and Emma took a cherry I had a pecan one last night before I went to bed a pecan homage fry pie
It's like a piece of pie in cork.
He said, boy, they sure put a lot of filling in these things this year.
I said, yeah, isn't that great?
I mean, it just oozes up.
I mean, it's a piece of pastry you eat just with your hand.
You don't need any kitchen utensils, like a fork or spoon.
Although if you took an almond fry pie, microwaved it for about half a minute and then put up some vanilla ice cream on top, like alamoti.
That would be great too.

Let's get back into some more music.
Here's Linda Ronstadt, I think.
Tammy Wynette.
Precious

How they linger How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness

Hello polka friends, this is Randy Sabel from Home and Chevy Buick GMC and 822 West Fondle X Street in Ripon.
I listen to Tuba Dan and Corky Show every free moment right here on your hometown radio station AM 1600 and 93.1 FM.
Thanks Randy.
Get over there and see Randy along with Tony, Chewie and Curtis.
They are part of the sales team and they each take turns working Saturday mornings from 9 to 1.
So if you can't get over there Monday through Friday, try Saturdays.
If you're looking for a new set of wheels, they have some dandy looking low mileage locally traded in vehicles, some for family, some for even, you could use for business.
Home and Chevrolet Buick GMC, where you can get your current car tuned up, you know, like maintenance work, oil changes.
When was the last time you had your transmission fluid checked and changed?
Because sometimes if that blows up and you just overlook it for years and decades, when that goes, maybe you are on your own.
Holman Chevrolet Buick GMC 7483377.
Today being Sunday, there's nobody there to come out and talk to you, but if you like to just look at all the different vehicles and perhaps dream of what could be, get ahold of them sometime during the week, but definitely take some time today if you have an opportunity and check everything out.
It's Holman Chevrolet Buick GMC.
Good people there.
Randy, Curtis, Tony, and Chewie.
Let's Holman give you a great deal.
Affordable, excellent quality, and things you don't have to worry about down the road.
Furlan Husky, I believe, is coming up.
And I think Furlan is over here.
Got to double check my list here.
I don't want to go wrong.
Yeah, here he is.
Hiya, Furlan.
Let her go.

Nice job, Berlin Husky.
I got the CD and I had a little asterisk mark, a little check mark, by this artist, Tammy Kirkland.
So I must have played it a while back.
Let's revisit this song by Tammy.
It's a tune entitled, We've Come to Worship.
The precious name of Jesus to adore
That was just beautiful, huh?
Tammy Kirkland.
I knew there was a reason why I had that thing marked and checked, so I could remember to play it down the road.
Some of these tunes really mean a lot to me, kind of strike home, how would you say, right to the heart of things.
Got a busy day going on today?
Well, it is the 16th of August, a long-awaited time for people down the road.
We got a big event taking place over in Princeton today.
Nobody can tell it better than my pal, Big Mike.
This is Big Mike, here to invite everyone to the St.

Today, St.
John's picnic.

Brewer heating and cooling are with us today.
Have you noticed that the sun doesn't come up so early in the morning anymore?
It seems like when I would get up a little bit after five the sun was there to greet me.
Now it stays in bed a little bit longer and I'll get that way too for a while.
When you get up early in the morning and get your day started, you brush your teeth, comb your hair, use the bathroom, get dressed, and maybe even do a subtle laundry.
I do my darks in the morning when I get up early and some of the linen and towels for quirky.
Some things I've learned to do as far as housekeeping.
I never have to worry about our furnace or our heating or air conditioning service.
Last week our air conditioner ran a lot more than I thought it would.
It seems they could hear it kicking on, but it always keeps us comfortable.
If your air conditioning doesn't work for you well, give Brewer heating and cooling a call.
They're phone number 7486494 Brewer heating and cooling on Ripon's northeast side on North Douglas Street.
Give them a call, they'll send out a technician to fix whatever problem you have.
If it's your air conditioning system now, or your heating, come fall.
because when fall gets here and those cooler temperatures do stick around.
Do you have your thermostat set in the low 70s or high 60s for right now to keep you comfortable?
But what do you set it at when the winter winds and snows come back?
Do you crank up the temperature just a little bit to keep you more warm and toaster?
Let brewer heating and cooling set you up.
My friend, Big Mikey, over in Princeton.
You might see him there today.
He's been with brewers ever since he started up and he's a good guy too.
So get a hold of Mike, also Johnny and Abby, Doug and Sally and the rest of the staff.
Brewer heating and cooling 7486494.
It's Brewer heating and cooling right here from Ripon.
More music coming up and I think if I got this right we're going to do this a song from my friend Tom over there near Fairburn, West of Berlin.
It's in the garden because he spends a lot of time there.
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still
the voice I hear falling
on my ear

Nice job George Morgan there and hope you like that one.
Prairie Plays would like to welcome you in and welcome all of you in that are interested in comfortable retirement lifestyle.
They have assisted in independent care on Ripon's northeast edge right on Highway 44 at 749 East Oshka Street.

I think Tennessee Ernie Ford is coming up.
Are you here,
Tennessee?
where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true.
It's shame.
and reproach gladly bear.
Then he'll call me someday to my home far away, where his glory falls.
Can you see Ernie Ford?
Little Jimmy Dickens is coming up.
This world is not my home.
A little Jimmy Dickens there.
I don't know if I ever told you this story, but when I was as old as Bo, I was 11 years old, I worked for the neighbor farmer.
On Saturdays, I would go over and I would literally clean out five calf pens with a fork.
And I got a whole dollar and 50 cents a day for working all day cleaning out calf pens.
And I asked myself, there has to be a better way in life for me to make a living.
I hope I don't have to do this for the rest of my days.
But as things turn out, look at me here now.
I was a school teacher, I was a mailman, and for 56 years I've been doing radio work plus a band leader and played with many bands.
So the Good Lord gave me a lot of paths to choose, and I hope I got the right ones down so far.
And the Good Lord has been good to me.
Those of you in agriculture know how hard it is growing up on a farm.
And years ago,

that I gave them the rest of my extra sharp cheddar cheese, a little block, and I said, here's a bag of frozen shredded potatoes.
Make your own cheesy potatoes tomorrow for breakfast or whenever.
They said, thank you, Grandpa.
