When Neal Conover is excited about something, he'll make sure to tell you. You and everyone else he runs into. This time it's Spencer Community Theater's "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story." The performance was fabulous, he said, Chad Elliott was, naturally, fantastic in the part of Buddy Holly, and not just him! Neal raved about Ritchie Valens (played by Dylan Dykstra) as well. I personally find Neal's excitement infectious, and if I wasn't already planning to go, I would have made plans. This weekend is its second of three weekends. Tickets $16. Times this weekend: Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m. matinee $15. Call 262-7336 for tickets or go to 518 1st Ave. E., Spencer, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. More info on the Community Theater website.
We're lucky here in Spencer to have our pick of musical entertainment. The House Concert series continues this Friday with Barb Ryman. According to the flier, "Barb Ryman is a nationally touring, award-winning singer-songwriter who expects music to be more than entertaining. Her music is lyric-driven, emotional, heart-opening. With a clear winsome voice and skillfully played guitar, she delivers a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, country blues, Celtic flavored ballads, old-time gospel, and bits of folk-rock." Concert at 8 p.m., doors at 7:30, at Martin Arthur's home (323 E 4th St). Suggeted donation of $10-$15, with proceeds going to the artist. Please RSVP (262-4500). More info at Spencer Area Concert Association's website. Check out Barb Ryman's website.
