Another Uncle Barky Show in the books and another big guest booked for September
07/21/08 07:02 AM
Many thanks to TXA21/CBS11 anchor Tracy Kornet and fellow Eleven21 band members Tommy Hiett, Richard Frish and True Tidwell for guesting and performing at Saturday's sixth "episode" of the Uncle Barky Show.
Near the end of the show, at Stratos Global Greek Taverna, your friendly content provider was coaxed into singing the Sonny part with Tracy on "I Got You, Babe." After the room emptied out -- actually it shockingly didn't -- Stratos presented a $1,000 check to Tracy on behalf of the band's designated charity, Happy Hill Farm.
A very grand to total of $4,500 now has been donated by the restaurant to various charities championed by our guests.
We'll take the rest of the summer off and be back at Stratos on Sept. 13th with guest Mark Cuban, outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks, would-be owner of the Chicago Cubs and very much in the cable TV and film business with HDNet, HDNet Movies and Magnolia Pictures.
Hope to see you there and we'll have more details later.
