The South Baldwin Community Theatre in Gulf Shores will draw a different crowd than usual on Sunday, March 7.
Sunday, March 7 brings the talents of three country music entertainers to Gulf Shores.
Accustomed to staged plays, musicals and revues, the audience that evening will be treated to a Grammy winner, a reality show star and a musical comedian—all thanks to special arrangements made by our own local 2008 Trop Rock Entertainer of the Year, Brent Burns.
The Grammy winner is none other than Linda Davis. She shared the award with Reba McEntire for Best Country Vocal Collaboration for their duet “Does He Love You?” that became a No. 1 hit. Linda is a popular song stylist who got her start in Nashville as a sought-after session singer.
Earning his big break as the first national champion of TNN’s You Can Be A Star, Lang Scott is an accomplished guitarist and vocalist. He is an MCA recording artist, and some of his songs have been recorded by well-known country stars.
Bill Whyte received the Country Music Association’s award for Best Large Market Personality during his career as a morning radio announcer. His songs are filled with lyrics that keep you laughing throughout his performance and after.
It’s not too late! You can enjoy this entertaining evening by calling 251-948-8863 now to reserve your seats. Tickets are $25/person for the 7:30 show. The theater is located at 2022 W. 2nd Ave.

Enjoy music from the 1940s during February at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL.
You may not think of great music from the Big Band era when someone mentions naval aviation. But in Pensacola this February, the combination will delight folks on three separate occasions.
Kicking off the trio of concerts is the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, led by Buddy Morrow. Their national tour will stop here on February 2, and the musicians will be eager to share their tunes “for the kids” (of all ages).
February 18 brings another famous group to the stage. The Glenn Miller Orchestra will show off their unique jazz renditions, and will leave you happily humming the tunes afterward.
Orlando Jazz closes out the series of concerts on February 27. This eclectic group will highlight the many famous swing bands of the 1940s, evoking memories every step of the way.
All concerts will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Blue Angels Atrium of the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard the Pensacola Naval Air Station. Tickets are $27.50 for the general public and $22.50 for museum foundation members. For details, call 800-327-5002.
There are numerous activities to pursue along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. Take some time to discover your opportunities by visiting for a few days, a few weeks or longer. Choose from the widest variety of beach-area houses and condos when you stay with Meyer Real Estate, and be sure to take advantage of terrific specials and hot deals to get the most for your budget.

For two days, November 6 and 7, 2009, Oak Hollow Farm will be flooded with the sounds of motorcycles revving, musical entertainment, and lots of folks having a great time.
The annual Angel Ride raises funds for children's unmet health care bills. Enjoy The Charlie Daniels Band and more November 6 and 7, 2009.
Bringing everyone together is a mutual desire to help children. The annual Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride is organized to raise money to help families of children who have medical needs that insurance won’t cover. The contributions raised so far have allowed for 489 disbursements to grateful families.
Friday’s musical lineup starts with Waylon Thibodeaux at 7:00 p.m., and continues with Chuck Wicks at 9:00 p.m.
Saturday concerts begin at 4:00 p.m. with Todd Simpson & Mojo Child, followed by Confederate Railroad at 7:00 and winding up with the grand finale by The Charlie Daniels Band at 9:00 p.m
In addition to the outstanding performances, visitors can enjoy a bike show and judging, silent auction, and raffles. Food and trade vendors provide opportunities for meals, snacks and a variety of artistic treasures. And the children’s tent offers plenty of activities to keep the young ones entertained.
The non-stop, escorted Angel Ride at 2:00 Saturday is open to anyone with a motorcycle 600cc or larger. What an impressive site it is to see such a large mass of bikes make the loop from Hwy. 98 to CR 104 to Hwy. 59 and back to Oak Hollow Farm!
The grounds open Thursday for campers and vendors, and Friday for everyone. For ticket prices and more details about the event, as well as information regarding the Angel Ride Foundation, please visit www.angel-ride.com.
During the Angel Ride weekend or any time of the year, enjoy the sunshine and sand at the beautiful beaches of the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. With the help of Meyer Real Estate, you will find generous specials and Hot Deals that create an ideal combination of fun and affordability.
