George Burns visit to Dubuque 1980
While browsing through my many files of memorabilia, I found his article I wrote for the August 1980 issue of "Memory Lane" magazine. It recalls the George Burns appearance at Five Flags Theater where I was fortunate to direct my orchestra, expanded to 15 musicians to backup this legendary performer. I'm including some additional photos taken during the rehearsal and show by the legendary Dubuque photographer, Jim Schafer.

It was an unforgettable evening.
