Wednesday June 22 2011-Kingwood, WV-PRESTON COUNIY IOURNAL-7
Saturday performance planned
during Rowlesburg WWll events
submitted by
Timothy Weaver
You don't want to miss this!
At 2 p.m., on Saturday, June 25,
the Andrews Sisters will appear
in Rowlesburg in the form of
the Vinateiri Sisters of Pennsyl-
vania (yes, they are related tu
Adam Vinatieri, the NFL star
kicker).
During a time when teenag-
ers were doing the jitterbug and
Uncle Sam was asking young
men to enlist, the Andrews Sis-
ters were America's most popu-
lar female singing group, the
song birds of WWII.
They earned nine gold records,
recorded over 700 songs, sold
more than 90 million records
and had more than 100 songs on
top 30 Billboard charts.
Some of their hits included:
"Beer Barrel Polka" (Roll out
the Barrel), "Bei Mir Bist Du
Schon" (means that you're
grand), "Don't Fence Me In"
and "Winter Wonderland."
The Vinateiri Sisters are a trio
of real-life sisters - Ann, Carol,
and Laura - who imperson-
ate the Andrews Sisters. These
sisters have been singing with
each other for as long as they
can remember, but have started
performing together profession-
ally in the last few years.
Growing up, the music of the
1940s and war era was played
in their home and quickly be-
came a favorite genre.
Ann, Carol, and Laura took on
the Andrews Sisters identity as
their own by performing in a
usa show at a WWI1 event last
summer at Eckley Miners Vil-
lage in Pennsylvania.
Since then, they have expand-
ed their performance venues to
reach people in the surrounding
regions of their town, Hazleton,
PA.
Ann Vinatieri Bauder, the old-
est of the three sisters, graduat -
ed from Bloomsburg University
with a major in History. With
this knowledge, she has been
able to volunteer a considerable
amount cf her time to Eckley
Miners Village and the Hazle-
ton Historical Society Museum.
Ann now works for Catholic
Social Services, serving through
the Parent Child Home Program
in the Hazleton area.
Carol Vinatieri, the middle
sister, is currently finishing her
second year of college at The
King's College in Manhattan
and is pursuing a major in Po-
litical Science.
Laura Vinatieri, the youngest
of the sisters, just graduated
from high school and plans to
attend Moravian College in
Bethlehem, PA where she will
major in Voice Performance.
Ann's husband, Michael, who
aids his wife and sisters-in-law
with the sound system and adds
hi,s wit and Charm to make the
program complete, joins the Vi-
natieri Sisters.
Ann, Carol, and Laura enjoy
performing for the generation
that enjoyed this music first.
They share their music in appre-
ciation for the people who de-
voted their service to this coun-
try during that time of war, both
overseas and on the home front.
The "V" Sisters also perform
to inspire the current generation
to look back on history in grati-
tude and enjoy this wonderful
genre of music.
The event is scheduled for
the Reenactment Field next to
the Rowlesburg Community
Park. Plenty of parking, plenty
of food and plenty of entertain-
ment for the whole family.
