Honoring VETS ?

[Bill Greenwood]

There are going to be activities to honor military vets on Fri. at Airventure.
The singer is Tony Orlando, really, I am not making this up. I think EAA can and should do better than that. I didn't even know T O was still around, he is not exactly a current music star. I thnk Bob Uecker had more hits than Orlando. I know these vets are old guys, my Dad used to listen to Lawerence Welk, but Tony Orlando is to music as velvet paintings are to art. I have been to a lot of airshows in 34 years, but never once heard Orlando being played.
I guess money is a factor, and I'm sure they want a right winger which Orlando certainly is, but there have got to be others.I know Hank fits that label.
EAA is trying to attract some younger people. I don't think Orlando is going to be a real draw for that group.
How about Lee Greenwood, no relation by the way? Or Hank Williams, Jr.?There must be others.
I guess the best way is to let the vets make a choice.
