Should be brisk. 12/OC are the openers.. a band of 3 brothers from the area...They are so excited to open for Scotty tonight according to their FB page. It's kind of odd name but it must mean something to them ..I had no idea what it was either. Edited February 26, 2022 by buttons66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That name goes back to the 1940s. Pat Boone was lead singer during his tenure there. Edited February 26, 2022 by tfortexas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sinycalone Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think there was a problem with the mic (when he took it off the stand), but it seemed to be corrected. However, the audiences phone mics are not picking up the sound evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
