Music by Flip Side with Bonnie Donnay

Flip Side with Bonnie Donnay

Flip Side is an acoustic trio featuring smooth vocals and swinging guitar whose repertoire spotlights the popular music of pre-nuclear days. They play the well- known songs as well as more obscure tunes - the Flip Side of those old 78s! Robin McGalliard Nelson and Bonita Donnay sing sweet harmonies while accompanying themselves on bass, ukulele, melodica and accordion. Ace guitarist Jan Stroup fills out the trio and adds an improvisational element to the Flip Side sound.

What a great way to start your Mother's Day! Come around, have a seat, enjoy your morning coffee and some artistically arranged songs you haven't heard for a while. You might even be moved to dance and, as you know, there is plenty of space at Showtime for that!
