BAKER CITY — Lonnie
Shurtleff will greet visitors to the
National Historic Oregon Trail
Interpretive Center this Saturday.
Although the center itself is
closed, the system of trails and
outdoor exhibits are open from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Shurtleff will be set up on the
outside porch at the center. His
programs start at 10:30 a.m., 12:30
a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
On Saturday evening, Shurtleff
will move his music to Geiser-
Pollman Park in Baker City for
an outdoor concert at the Powder
River Pavilion. He will be joined
by Marilyn Shollenberger -- the
duo plays by the name Barefoot &
Bonafi de.
Their concert begins at 5 p.m.
Attendance is free.
Shurtleff has played music for
more than 60 years.
“The fi rst time I got paid to play
the guitar was in 1958,” he said.
When he was in high school,
Shurtleff was asked to join a band
that played Thursday through Sat-
urday nights in the Stirrup Room
at the Geiser Grand Hotel.
“There was a lot of music in
those years,” he said.
The last year affected his live
music shows, as was the case with
musicians everywhere.
To keep the music going, he and
Shollenberger started online con-
certs every Monday night through
Facebook (the page is Barefoot &
Bonafi de).
He said his years in radio helped
him approach this type of concert
where he couldn’t actually see the
listeners.
“Imagine you’re just talking to
one person,” he said. “It makes
you think of the individuals, and
that’s what it’s all about -- bring a
chuckle, a laugh, or a tear.”
He’s looking forward to a real
Lonnie Shurtleff
audience.
“Now we have the opportunity to
get out in front of people again,” he
said. “The audience is an integral
part -- you’re watching their faces
to see the response. There’s an emo-
tional energy that comes back from
the crowd.”
