Wow, can you believe it?

Got a great show for you put together for tonight.

Delicious food there Wednesdays through Sundays from 7 a.m.

Good people there too.

Great guys.

748-777-777 for cartoon ups and new vehicles and auto body shop.

Modern Rentals, Rob Dresden, Craig Leahy, and his staff at Modern Rentals at the corner of Douglas Street and East Oshkoshty by the Stop and Go Light.

Chris Rolando and Marissa from Budsene March and Funeral Home on top of the hill.

West Oskar Street and Mayparty Drive.

We also got Schmidt Lumber with us tonight.

Keith and their boys on East Pondlack by the railroad tracks.

We got our local heavy grocery store, Sarmine Regme.

Sarmine Regme is her name.

Seven days a week, six in the morning till 10.

Wonderful friends there too.

John and Danny Heatley at Heatley Electric keeping the lights on for you.

And also modern overhead door, the Stobby Boys.

There you go, Tom and Ryan Stobby.

Let's jump into some music.

Here's a band I don't think you've ever heard on our show.

It's Marty Knockriner from Minnesota and Marty was always a second string guy.

He never led a band until he started his own group.

He played quite a bit with Carl in the country, Dutchman.

Carl would have Marty come along and then Carl would take a long break at the job and Marty would play concertina for the folks.

Some people say, where did Carl go?

We wanted to hear Carl.

But Marty really filled the bill quite well.

Here's Marty with Marched Out Knockriner, not my daughter.

And they're going to do Till I Wants Again With You.

Here's Marty Knockriner from

Minnesota.

If my dream should all come true You'll be waiting for my arms Till I kiss you once again Keep my love locked in your heart Darling, I'll return and then

Though it may break your heart and mine The minute when it's time to go Remember dear, each were divine That meant I love you so Till I once again with you

Just the way we are too

A little bit of Marcia Knottgriner on the vocal.

That could even been Marty's wife.

I'm not sure.

Didn't give her any title as of it.

That's daughter or his wife, but either or.

Pretty good singing.

I think you have to agree.

Well, the good folks at American Family Insurance at 120 Washing Street want to make sure that if you have to leave your home for no matter what reason, even if it's to go to church, go to visit somebody, funeral home visitation for somebody that you knew and loved that passed away,

If it's a good grocery, a doctor, a visitor, just a trip to see the kids.

They want you to be perfectly safe on the road because throw often people that drive today, they don't know what they're doing.

They're texting, they're weaving all over the road, and you can easily be involved in a car accident.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I see cars swerving from the center line way over to the the rumble strips on the shoulder.

Then they realize that they're doing something wrong.

They're not even realizing that there's cars behind them.

And if they get

Hit somebody.

The car behind them is also going to be involved.

Chances are, never tailgate.

Drive safely, but keep your insurance policy up to code.

American Family, right here and down at 120.

Give Brad a call.

Let them give you a free quote as to how much money they can save.

Go with the higher deductibility plan.

That way, your premium notice is always a little cheaper.

748-5031, American Family.

Well, definitely a little frost on the pumpkin.

The other day, I got up to go to the Hivey grocery store.

at six o'clock and it was like 60 degrees.

Coming home though I had to face the east and the sun's coming right on your eyes so I got to be careful out there but remember as the temperatures change so will your desire to stay comfortable inside your home also.

When it was so hot and blistery, steamy outdoors and we might even have a few of those Indian summer days yet but you know your furnace has to be up for the call.

Make sure your furnace is serviced by brewer heating and cooling right here in town on North Douglas Street.

Give Doug and Sally a call and they'll send the technicians out to tune up your furnace, oil or gas.

And then in spring have your air conditioning system checked out as well.

7486494, it's brewer, heating and cooling.

We've got Richard Jirkovich in the band coming up with one entitled The Alpine Mornings.

Oh, Alpine memories, polka.

I think that's what it is.

Is that a polka, guys?

I'm looking here.

No, it's all of our friends.

That's what it is.

All our friends.

The time has come to dance the night away We've come to whistle in the air Cause all our friends are here The time has

come to sing and play We've traveled far, we're here to stay Let nothing ever

stop

So

Get a whole of your own bottles, pick some up for friends and gifts.

748-3296 and happy weekend from Vines and Rushes.

Becks Meat Market are with us too this evening and they know how important weekends come because all you working people enjoy the weekends and so many of you have you know yard work to do and even now that fall is right around the corner it starts on the 22nd that's right and another couple days fall will be starting today is the 18th the first day of fall is in four days on the 22nd that's the first day of fall

Some people put the lawn and garden equipment away, the decoration, the lawn dart, et cetera.

At Bex, they realize if you're working outside, you might want to even grill out, yet if the weather's nice, get a whole of a big box, a five-pound box of hamburger patties, either one-third-pound patties or quarter-pound patties, irregardless.

Some ribs, some steaks and chops, some ring baloney, brats.

natural casing wieners.

It's all delicious.

Go right to the main source at Beck's on Clairville Road in Ring.

They're open from 8 to noon on Saturdays, otherwise 8 to 5 Monday through Friday.

Check them out.

Beck's always the very best.

If you can't get in Ring, go to Ring in the country.

Stop in downtown Oshkosh at 1003 North Main Street.

Their meat market is right there.

A couple doors north of the Roxy Supper Club.

It's Beck's always for the very best.

589-21

04.

Gonna do a special song here for the 92nd birthday last Wednesday on the 9th.

For Jean Berlowski, 92nd years, 92 years young.

Requested by Joan and Tom DeLotta.

Tom and Joni DeLotta.

For Jean Berlowski, happy 92 years, Gino.

We're gonna play something really crazy, but we decided to play something a little bit more tamer for you.

How about this one?

Moonbeams clear.

Happy birthday, Gino.

Music playing

you

Thank you.

Thank

you.

you

Yeah,

that a little bit of Dale Domin and the Polka Beats from Minnesota and Moon Beams Clear.

I was wrong!

It is next Tuesday!

the first day of fall, not this coming weekend, it's on Tuesday, down to 22nd.

Gotta get my calendar straight here where I'm doing the show.

Mike McIntyre coming up, and he got one entitled, Back in My Baby's Arms!

I always liked that song, dude, by Mike McIntyre from Southern Wisconsin.

Back in my baby's arms.

That's a good place to be.

Always nice, soft and cuddly.

You know, I wouldn't say he's a real cuddly kind of person, but he sure is a dandy friend of mine.

That's Barry Vanderbrink.

Had Vanderbrink's produce stand on Ripon's West Side.

Have you been over there yet this summer?

Oh, you got a couple days yet before fall kicks the next Tuesday.

First day of fall.

And soon they'll have not only the pumpkins, the gourds, the gourds and the squash.

Last year they had nine different varieties of squash.

Man, and I tried every one of them.

They were delicious.

Pick yourself up some fresh potatoes there too.

Sweet corn, still an abundant supply.

Watermelons, cantaloupes, beets and green beans and I tell you about yellow beans.

The one thing about fall is

If you don't garden, you don't have to worry about pulling weeds or fighting the mosquitoes and flies outdoors.

But when you go to Vanderbrink's, you're there.

You've got everything you need right under the sun, including the nine varieties of the delicious Amish fry pies.

Apple, cherry, blueberry, red raspberry, strawberry with rhubarb, lemon, pecan, peach with pineapple, and of course peach itself.

Get over there and try them yourself.

That's it.

Vanderbrink's Pro to stand and check out all the different things you would have coming out of your garden if you had one.

And if you do have a garden, some people still go there for their fry pies.

Good eating on Ripman's West Side right on the Highway 23.

west finalized street before you leave the city limits.

The largest area, protostand, here, but they had the fry pies as well.

That's Vanderbrink's.

I want to talk a little about here if I could about, heat the electric, and what the weather can fall.

You always have the chance of storms.

When storms come, their leaves not only fall off their trees, but branches come down too.

And if you have a significantly large enough branch, it could disconnect the main power line from the power pole in your yard to your buildings.

And when that happens, you got to call Healy Electric.

They have the boom lift and get out there quick and fix it and restore your electricity for you.

So many of us senior citizens rely on health aids to keep us going, like CPAP machines.

I use one myself, and it runs off electricity.

I don't know how well I would rest that night if I didn't have my CPAP machine.

I rely on it a lot.

Get a hold of Heatly Electric anytime electricity goes out and stay healthy and be safe.

Just don't take any chances.

Heatly Electric, 748-7786, the Heatly Boys, wishing you a very happy and safe week.

If you ever need electricity, restart.

called Healy Electric, 7487786.

We got to do a song for Jack and Nancy Carlton right here in town.

They love flowers and so do we.

Maybe you do too.

We got Jay Wells and the new Red Ravens and they're going to do a song for Jack and Nancy, the Tulip Seven-Eyed

Polka.

Dancing among the tulips is heavenly Tulips gaily nodding at you and me While over and over the Dutchman weighs the tulips heavenly

Dancing among the tulips of lovely hues Watching the clump of dancers in wooden shoes While over and over the Dutchman plays The tulip ceremony Every girl and boy's heart is filled with joy Life is sublime Tulips everywhere, purview fills the air It's tulip time

We'll celebrate each year in May Our hearts will remember that happy day While over and over the Dutchman waits Until the Saturday

singing another song.

sing another song.

Someday you'll be sorry with Jim Peckle and the band from north of Wasa up near I think it's Rhinelander areas where Jim and Marilyn are from Yep, well Keith and the boys at Schmidt Lumber are hard at it and they know that fall is also a time once the temperatures cool down for some of you homeowners to make those necessary repairs Before the leaves totally all fall off the tree and the winter snows return That also has cold temperatures

So if your home already has a few leaky spots, get some insulation and as they say, batten down the hatches.

They have siding, they have windows, they have doors, they have all the insulation too for those openings as well as the door hardware, openers, hinges, etc.

Roofing materials too from shingles, tar paper, whatever you need.

Even drywall plaster, you know the big plasterboard sheets 4x8.

and lumber.

Treated lumber too.

So you don't have to worry about it, you know, getting old fast because it's treated to withstand the temperature that a mother nature here in Wisconsin will throw at you.

That's that Schmidt lumber on East Final Act Street, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5, Saturday morning from 8 till noon.

with free delivery.

Give Keith and the boys a call and let them help you batten down the hatches this year.

Got more music coming up right now.

I believe we have the toy accordion waltz with Gary

Briggan.

Music playing

Gary Brighan in the band from over near Sparta and a nice one a little title there the toy accordion waltz well i got a trivia question for you see if you can find the answer to this while we play a song by dick rogers the question is from 1948 to 1971 a very popular variety tv show on on television it remained there on the air for more than two decades

Who hosted this TV show?

It started in black and white, eventually went to color.

Who was the host from 1948 to 1973?

Yep, that's who it was.

Think of it, and I'll give you the answer after this song.

you

Just because you think you're so pretty And just because your mama knows you're hot Just because you think you've got something That other little women haven't got Now you've caused me to spend all my money You laugh and call me old Bobby Faulkner Well, I'm telling you, baby, I'm through with you Because just by call

Now, just because you think you've got a figure And in a bathing suit you look so neat Now just because you look good in pajamas You run around and wear them in the street Now I must admit that you're an iPhone You're just as pretty as can be

Well, baby's my nerves and cover up them curves because just by cow.

Just because you think you're so pretty Now just because your mama knows you're hot Just because you think you've got something That other little women haven't got Now you've caused me to spend all my money You laugh and call me Old Dick Rogers Well, I'm telling you, baby, I'm through with you Because just by cause

There you go, Dick Metko and Merlin Puliski together doing a duet there, just because we're Dick Rogers in the band.

Well the question was what TV host from 1948 to 1973 had a long-running TV show and black and white 1948 to 1971 I take it back over the hit TV show.

I think Sunday nights.

Did you come up with the answer?

Well Ed Sullivan that was the guy he was really popular in fact he was the guy that debuted the fab four from Liverpool

England.

The Beatles appeared on his show.

In fact, a couple times the big screaming crowds.

I remember my first dance.

People were screaming and yelling and throwing things.

Wanted me to stop playing my tuba.

He said, stop, stop, stop playing.

Anyway, got to tell you the folks that high, that high ve grocery store in Ripon's west side have great things for you already prepared.

So if your day is really cumbersome, you're busy,

You're just stressed out, you don't want to make a big meal for the rest of the family, or you just want something for yourself.

They have many choices in the deli, and of course the bakery items are always good.

I can't go to, I can't rest at night unless I have my cup of coffee and either an apple fritter or something from Mr. and Mrs. Pease to kind of settle my tummy down.

Corgi and I always have an early bird supper or dinner, they call it.

So by the time seven, eight o'clock rolls around, if I'm sitting doing my show and recording, that's what I'd like to do.

I'll have something from Mr. and Mrs. Pease or something from the bakery items at Hivee.

All wonderful people.

Get an ice cream cake for those special celebrations.

And also check out the produce aisles.

Watermelons, sweet, juicy.

Watermelons, still in ample supply.

I don't know where they get them, but they sure are good.

Just check out the insta-smoke-alls, all the exceptional vows in Ichibar, the dairy aisle, frozen entrees, even pet food and birdseed.

That's at our local heavy store seven days a week from six in the morning to ten at night.

Get on over there, okay?

Also want to give a quick plug here for pedals and plows.

They have pumpkins and all kinds of fruits.

And soon the corn maze will be opening up.

I'll tell you all about that.

Located at 9129 Kaufman Road.

It's pedals and plows.

Take County Trunk E north of Ripon.

Go through Rush Lake.

And then a couple miles up, you'll see the signs pointing to the west.

that's Kaufman Road.

Stop it and see them.

9129 Kaufman Road.

Pedals and plows are open Monday through Saturdays from 10 to 6 in Sundays, noon to 5.

So if you're going to take a drive during the weekend, come on over and bring the kids because you've got a big playground.

If you want to get answers to possibly some questions regarding fresh produce or trees, shrubs and bushes, which they have on sale, give them a call.

after 10 in the morning, during the week, Monday through Saturdays, at 920-290-1621, 290-1621, or after noon, 12 noon on Sunday till 5, come and see pedals and plows, the Kauffman boys, good friends of yours truly.

Let's get back to some more music.

We've got a song here, I believe, by Carl and the Country Dutchman, right?

And they're going to do Akk, Tudor, Walser.

Here's Carl.

Music playing

you

something a little diviner by Carl and the Country Dutchman.

Well my little buddy is over there and following Gary and Sue Meltzer like this band and I don't blame them because I like them too.

The other day Gary came in the house and asked this lovely bride Susan, what's for supper?

And this is what she said.

There you go.

Donnie and his lovely wife Lorraine, Chia Tchaikovsky, I guess I pronounced it.

Good Irish name, all the way from Arizona.

Neil Zucker and music connection from

Warsaw.

Hey, how about that one?

The music connection all the way from Hwasa.

I learned many years ago that every man's home is his castle.

And if you think back, the majority of us, even today, our senior citizens and those of you middle-aged folks listening this evening, are gonna move many times in your lifetime.

For Korky and I, we had a load of boxes and suitcases and things, and I think we moved five different times until we found the right place, and that's right here on Olden Road.

From Swamako when I first started teaching school to pick it to rip and back to pick it and back over here The journey has been sometimes quite long, but for the most part we made it and we survived When you get to a certain age point you realize you can't keep up the big piece of property that you had once before So you look for solutions Maple Crest is one of those places you can find answers and how you can still maintain an active lifestyle

but not be tied down.

Taking care of a big home, the yard, you know, the taxes, everything, even the utilities can be unsurmountable.

Check with Maple Crests and get on a waiting list for the individual, independent apartments on the north end of the building, or the assisted level of care on the South End.

wonderful folks are always willing to help you and give you answers to questions that seniors always get you know their face with like what do I do now especially if you lose your partner you don't want to live in a big house or large apartment or duplex 7487300 give Chad Gill or Vicki a call and take the walk-through tour 7487300 and don't sweat the small stuff your castle does not have to be real big

You know, with the drawbridge in the moat and the crocodile swimming around.

No, you don't need that.

Maple Crest is a much wiser solution.

Kenny Brandt coming up.

You know, if you get up in the morning and you have to drive to the east, the sun comes up and you get that sun glaring you right in the eyes.

And that's usually what happens to me on my return trip from our local Hivey grocery store.

The Hivey store is on the west side of Ribbon, but I live on the east side.

So the sun's always in my face.

Here's Kenny Brandt with the Morning Glow

Waltz.

I see your smiles I know you're prettier But I saw the mountain rain I saw the shine and sea But neither one of them compares to when you smile

I'll be there

saying,

I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying, I'll be there saying,

Das meine Glaube mir, nachher wird es noch mal so schön, das wiedersehen.

Nice job on the vocal with Charlie Schneider.

Chuck doing a great job with the Jerry Schneider band, obviously.

Well, we got a couple more minutes left, but I want to get that song in.

I said to Charlie Schneider the other day, he had his lovely bride, Ellen, on his arm walking down the street.

I said, hey, Chuck, who is that lady?
