That was a tree-ific OAKS back on the first saturday of December wit the absolutely awesum White Flames!

Sir Aifel truly luvs all genres of music as reflected in his marvelous musical arrangements ....

from the brilliant Bohemian Rhapsody that sends shivers down my spine ...

ta a song dedicated ta that luvly blonde waitress that used ta work at the Mad Badger afore the fire who sang about Jolene ....

ta sum tunes that moved folks ta sing along wit the band ....thanks ta Lady Cher, Star, & dear Blakcs fer makin the evenin even more fun wit their angelic voices  ...

From the medley that combined classic rock & swing ....

ta the hauntin luv ballads   ...the evenin was filled wit truly beautiful music.


Thanks agin, Sir Aifel, fer bringin the unique sparkle of the White Flames ta the Dec. OAKS.

That was quite a day in Oldfurlong & thanks ta my sweet Neighbor ...
