Ink Spots Draw Big Crowd Yet Chamber Loses Funds
The Ink Spots gave two strong performances here as part of a fundraiser to support the annual Chuck Wagon dinner. Tickets at 1.50 for adults and 0.75 for children were the lowest ever for the group, aiming to boost attendance but the Chamber of Commerce faces a net loss of 500 to 600 dollars due to indifferent turnout. Observers note the town’s apathy toward community events threatens local business promotion efforts.

Ink Spots deliver memorable show to small Sidney crowd
In Sidney on Sunday the Ink Spots performed twice to a total of 350 attendees at the Junior High School Auditorium. Lorenzo Conyers, the group’s top tenor since 1954, led the act supported by Bernie Mackey, Bob Morell, Ray Richardson, and Cardinal Nesfield Jr. The band’s veteran presence and polished solo work, including hits like If I Didn’t Care, drew enthusiastic praise from a crowd that wished for a larger audience. The performance, though sparsely attended, left a nostalgic impression.
