Dinner plans coming together

JAZZY: Providence Jazz Duo left to right Charles Milne, Louie Ferkovics will entertain at this year's Progressive Dinner.
Those with a gourmet palate are sure to enjoy the upcoming Progressive Dinner, set for July 18, 19 and 20 at three Clay County churches.

The gala begins with a Reception at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church on Friday, the 18th when guests will enjoy shrimp cocktail, wrapped cocktail franks, sweet and sour meatballs, cold cuts, German meatballs, assorted cheeses, fruit, vegetables and dip, a relish tray, punch, ice tea, coffee and water.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by the Providence Jazz Duo of Charles Milne on keyboards and vocals and Louie Ferkovics on percussion. The repertoire of the popular light-jazz twosome ranges from jazz standards to 50's doo-wop to contemporary ballads, with an occasional hint of country.

Milne played the R&B circuit as back-up for such groups as Sam & Dave, Otis Redding and Little Anthony and the Imperials. He now serves as music director at St. William Church in Murphy and as an accompanist at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church while keeping up with a busy calendar of public and private appearances.
