She described it as a good old Oklahoma song. •Anne Lopez performed for us on Zoom. Her songs were in honor of GermanFest: "Wooden Heart," "Hoffbrauhaus," and "Liechtensteiner Polka." •Barbara Mahar had a few trivia questions for us. Example: What performer made "Wooden Heart" popular? Answer: Elvis Presley. •Guest Kris Anderson told how she found the OAC. She said Karen and Maggie came into her restaurant for lunch and talked about it. Kris was interested because she has an accordion, and played accordion when she was younger, so she and her husband Buck came to the meeting. •Music continued with Dick playing "Once in a While," "Dream," Fascination," and "Around the World in Eighty Days." •Karen and Lois Roth concluded the program with "The Happy Wanderer," "Edelweiss," and "Just Because." To end the meeting, Maggie interviewed the members, asking each one how he or she started playing accordion. We heard some great stories! The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 pm.
