Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It
is time now for our community connection right here on
K one, the one you trust in on the telephone. Here,
I've got one splendid entertainer. Might you might have seen
Jacob Deck out in Branson. How are you doing, Jacob?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Oh? I'm doing super You know how it is, you know,
sunshine and makes the world go around, and also music,
big music makes the world go around. You're coming all
the way from Branson to Bartlesville. What you're bringing with you?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We are bringing back in time, a journey through the decade.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh my goodness, this sounds like it's got a little
bit of something from everyone. What kind of decades we're
talking about here?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We are doing every decade from the nineteen fifties all
the way up to twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh my goodness. Sakes. So they're singing and dancing and
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, singing and singing, so much fun, high energy, you know,
big show.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, Now I understand this is all done by seven
singers and dancers. How does that? How'd you do that?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So we get together and we rehearse. We have about
we've just started rehearsal. So we have about four and
a half weeks of rehearsal and we come together in
a studio. We learn all of our vocals ahead of time.
We have all the music kind of laid out for everyone.
We have all of their vocal parts and everything recorded
(01:26):
so that all they have to do is listen to it,
you know, on their headphones or in their car or whatever.
And then they come in and they learn the choreography
from me, and then we clean it and then we
take it on the road.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Wow, we that is something else. How long you been
doing this?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So this particular show, we are in our second year
of the show, but performing in general and choreographing, that's
that's all I've ever done my whole life. So it
kind of is like a second nature, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So this is called a bat Back in Time, a
journey through the decades. We're gonna be at the Center
here in Arnival Phille on October twenty third. The showtime
is seven thirty pm, and we have tickets ranging from
twenty one dollars to twenty six dollars. That's that's rather
inexpensive considering the kind of show one is going to receive.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Deal.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I think I do too. Now, when you do your
shows in Brandson, that's a lot of fun because you know,
you can go right home and sleep in your own
bed each night. But when you take it on the road,
that's a whole different story.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It is a whole different story. Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh man. So what do you like most about the
show other than the time span, which is incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes, Well, besides all of the music from the decades,
I love the dancing in it. I think we have
tried to really take dance moves from each decade. So
I think, you know, if people were dancers back in
their day, they're going to recognize some of these moves
for sure, especially disco. Disco is my favorite. We do
lots of disco dancing in the seventy segment, So I
(02:59):
think people will really like the dancing, and I think
they'll really like our cast. We have a great cast,
and we all really really really love each other and
we get along, and I think that that resonates into
the audience for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, if you take three generations, you know, Grandma, grandpa,
mom and daddy and the kids, the kids are gonna
get a little bit of a giggle from time to time,
and you know it's worth it. Distance see that smile.
You really wore those clothes, You really moved like that,
you really listen.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, we also have some crazy wigs too, so whenever
we get to the seventies, you'll see some crazy seventies
haired you know, fair faucet, all that kind of stuff.
So there's definitely some stuff that the kids will will
get a kick out of.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
My goodness sake, this sounds like it's a it's a
lot of fun and only seven people putting all that
energy together and having all that kind of fun. And still,
like I said, I can't believe the ticket prices. You
guys must be must be working for food. I mean, no,
I'm kid, I'm kidding, But this is gonna be great.
This is really gonna be great. I imagine we're probably
(03:58):
gonna get pretty close to house, if not a full house,
just for this show because of the big time that
it takes here, with the journey through the decades all
the way from the nineteen fifties when rockabilly was king
to the sixties. Well, I thinks we're kind of mod
fab and geared the seventies with the everything from the
disco to you know, other types of folk, and then eighties,
(04:21):
nineties and two thousands has shaped a lot of people
who are walking around today earning eleven that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah. Yeah. And we also have two separate eighties segments,
So we have an eighties rock segment for all of
those people that loved eighties rocks, and then we have
like an eighties pop segment with Whitney Houston, Wham, you know,
artists like that. So there really is something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Wow. You know. The thing was music was so diverse
back in the fifties, sixties and seventies and eighties, and
now they've got like little genre with they called genres
or pigeon holes and stuff like that. Used to be
you can turn on the radio and you would be
able to hear what were the top songs of the day.
(05:04):
One of them might be a country song, one of
them might be a rockabilly song, another one might be
what they call a standard, and it all kind of
blended together. This is like turning on the radio from
way back when and just having fun.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It is.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It is man alive. So this performance with seven people
back in time, a journey through the decades, high energy,
so does this mean that you get a little little
cardio going on this one?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Oh for sure, for sure. We are moving the whole show.
We start high energy and it just does not stop.
It goes the whole show. There's even some audience participation.
We asked the audience to kind of get up and
groove with us a couple of times. So that should
be fun for everyone as well.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Did someone say audience participation?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You got about every hot dog in the four count
the area ready to go. Now, everybody likes to be
a part of the show. You know, this is really great. Uh,
the you know, the the program that you've got coming
up here really exciting. But you know, when you when
you're back in Branson, Uh, that's that town has changed
over the years. I remember when it was just a strip.
(06:20):
He had a couple of little theaters, a couple of
little restaurants, and maybe maybe two or three hotels and
to go.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There, that's about it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And that was it, and you could go through town
and pretty quick. But now not so much anymore. This
is like the entertainment mecca for families.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes, yes it is. It is definitely a family entertainment
base and there's no way that you would be able
to get through all of Branson in even a week.
I don't think you could use it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Used to be you can get through it in about
a day and a half and then have something right
about and talk about and everything else like that. Now
you've got folks coming back for more. Now where do
you perform when you are in Branson?
Speaker 2 (07:01):

I'm currently at the Klay Cooper Theater with Dean Z
the Ultimate Elvis. I've lay with him with him, yeah,
And then I'm also in Hot Rods and High Heels,
which is produced by Clay and Tina Cooper, who owned
Clay Cooper Theater. It's a fifty show. And then I

five years. And then I'm currently in Also uh Abba

Speaker 2 (07:43):

other way.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, you know, you know, as long as you're as
long as you're moving and grooving, you're getting paid. And
that's a good thing. Now, once again, one reminding, it's

the spirit of each decade from the nineteen fifties all
the way to the two thousands with a seven person show,
and they are moving, grooving, dancing, singing and doing everything
electrifying and my gosh, it seems like that'll really wear
(08:27):
a person out, but it'd be fun to watch.
