ELIZABETHTOWN – In honor of the Friends of the Bladen County Public Library week, a special concert was held just outside the front door of the Bladen County Public Library.
On a beautiful, warm mid-October Carolina night with gorgeous pink and wedgwood blue hues on the horizon, the outdoor concert put forth into the twilight songs from Woody Guthrie, Terry Gilkyson, Creedence Clearwater Revival and even a song by David Seville and the Chipmunks.
It was unlike most outdoor concerts due to the unique instrumentation.
It was a quartet from Fayetteville called “The Fayetteville Ukulele Club,” and featured the eclectic strains of ukuleles, kazoos, whistling, humming and voices.
Mary Hill, originally from Muskogee, Oklahoma, is the leader of the band that at times has up to 20 members playing ukuleles onstage at one time. On this night, however, due to some sickness and the drive to Elizabethtown, the club provided a talented quartet.
