After Jaydee Bixby’s performance on the evening of October 11, he took the time for pictures and to hear some stories from some of the seniors at Hillview Lodge.

(front; l-r) Jane Danis and Yvonne Friedley.  Bixby, accompanied by Augey on bass, entertained seniors at Hillview Lodge with renditions of popular songs like House of the Rising Sun. He changed the lyrics to many of the songs to include locations from around the valley which had the seniors laughing. The folks were tapping their toes to Elvis Presley and singing along to Johnny Cash. Tuesday’s performance came shortly after Bixby hosted a memorial service for his father, Bud Bixby, who passed away Saturday, October 8. He told inSide Drumheller, “When the Lodge called me to see if I wanted to postpone the gig, I knew my dad wouldn’t have had it any other way but to sing tonight. My dad never wanted to stop me from something like this.”
