The KSO’s Boogie Band recalls the 3 decades of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, when (prior to smart phones) music was personally transported via hand held radios and cassette players. It was also a time when music meant melody. Think Percy Faith – The 5th Dimension; Three Dog Night – Queen and Yes — B52s. Bring the grandkids and feed them some real tunes.

Bring blankets or lawn chairs. Picnics welcome.
Free parking along the roadways within the cemetery.
