Wylie Gustafson and his group "The Wild West" put on quite a show at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Center Saturday evening. Wylie sang and did his classic yodeling, remember the "Yahoo" commercial! We were well entertained when the group took the stage. They sang mostly western songs starting with "Water" as made famous by The Sons Of The Pioneers many years ago.

Wylie sang, danced, and yodeled

The show was sponsored by the Shoreline Lake Forest Park Arts Council. Fred Wong, director of the Arts Council introduced the group, which consists of Gustafson; Sam Platts who played steel guitar, accordion, and electric guitar (Sam has his own group Sam Platts and The Kootenai 3); Robbie Frazier on drums; and J. Kane on bass.
