‘Annie Get Your Gun’ On Its Way to Oswego

OSWEGO – Howdy partners! Good news for all you cowpokes out there. We’re comin’ to Oswega late in July; July 26 through August 4 we a reckon.

And we be fixin’ to show off our stuff with a lot of toe-tappin’ music with our show, “Annie Get Your Gun” on the Frances Marion Brown Theater for the Oswego Players.

Yes sir, we got a lot of good tunes for yer to hum along to as well. How ‘bout Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly, They Say It’s Wonderful, or There’s No Business Like Show Business, to wet your whistle.

Now for some of you folks out there that never heard of me, I’m Buffalo Bill.

Now hanker on up a rockin’ chair and listen a minute. These are mighty strong words I got to say. And ya don’t want to miss this one. Hear me?

See here’s how it all started….

I started my show in 1813 way out in North Platte, Nebraska. Ya see I was fixin’ to have a real live outdoor western show that folks like yourself could come to a learn about the adventures out west. And wouldn’t yer know it, I even took my show to Europe and performed for Queen Victoria. I had shootin’ competitions, wild animals ta show off, broncos to wrestle, and sharp shooters like no other.

Now you folks musta heard ‘bout Annie Oakley? Ya haven’t? Darn! How bout Frank E. Butler? Thems two are the two best shots in the west,
partners.

We was here in Oswego with my show back in ’95, 1895 that is. Surely some of ya remember that, don’t ya?

Well dang it, that does it, you better be markin’ this down on your calendar. ‘Cause them two’s a comin’ with their show, “Annie Get Your Gun” and you be needin’ to see them show off their talents along with a lot of their friends.

Hear me? OK, get ya a piece a chalk and write this down ‘fore yer get on to doin’ some other thing that makes no matter.

Here it is folks. Ya’all come, now.
