LAUREL OUTLOOK NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ~2015, ABOUT OWL CAFÉ’, HAS TWO VERY INTERESTING ITEMS =>

A) Hashbrowns and Harmonies At The Owl Café’, Remains Music Draw For Region On Saturday Mornings. Shown /\ Above /\ Photo.
….John Letcher was instrumental in reviving a Saturday morning music tradition that began in Molt in 2001. Now the Owl Cafe is the only place in Laurel hosting weekly music, and the only restaurant in the region that offers “breakfast and bluegrass.”
Letcher wanted to continue the Saturday morning music and breakfast tradition that started at the former Prairie Winds Cafe in Molt, and ended when it closed in 2013.
When Letcher learned Kathy Boyd purchased the Owl Cafe 2015, he came up with a unique way to get involved. [[ The Laurel Outlook Newspaper, in a different article, said purchase was on Jan 3, 2015. ]]
….“I came the first week it opened and [it] carried a ‘will work for food’ sign out front until Kathy came out and told me I was embarrassing her,” he said. He washed dishes for two hours, then told Boyd, “You get a dishwasher and I’ll pour coffee.” Letcher’s admitted lack of music ability–“I can’t even tap my foot to music”–is inconsequential as he hosts the weekly event and books all the acts. He also takes some of the load off the servers.
PLEASE NOTE:=>
…. Woman standing at far left, is playing a “Double Base”, the largest of Violin Stringed Instruments. She’s probably plucking it to the rhythm, somewhat like drum accompaniment.

Aa) Here We Should Remember This Album’s Earlier Photo =>

…The Framed Sign, Owl Café’ Grand Opening Day, Sunday August 13 1916,
……where this Sign “Bottom Line” said
“PATRONS will be ENTERTAINED with MUSIC”.
Thus with John Letcher’s arrival The Owl Café (from 2014 thru 2017), returned to the tradition of Chas Askenas !!
