Laurie and Jim Booska of Calimesa were a hard act to follow on the dance floor. The couple's energy, dance steps, and enthusiasm were contagious.

About 300 country western fans turned out for another weather-perfect Thursday night at the Calimesa Golf and Country Club to clap along, sing along, and dance along to the tunes of Tommy Van and The Bounty Hunters.

Van, the lead vocal and The Bounty Hunters sang some of the top 200 all-time great classic country tunes sung by such legendary artists as George Strait, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, and Johnny Cash just to name a few.

Jim and Laurie Booska of Calimesa were on the dance floor (sidewalk and grass) in front of the stage for much of the night. Also showing talented line-dancing steps were John Corley of Calimesa and his dance partner, Julie Hansen of Yucaipa, along with Linda English of Yucaipa, Judy Van Voorhis of Orange, Linda Dickey of Beaumont, and Evelyn Charles of Banning. (Most of the men in the audience were inclined to watch, while sitting back in their lawn chairs.)

"There was a concert in Banning but I wanted to come here," said Charles.

Although all the musicians performed admirably, fiddle player Bobby Furge of Yucca Valley was clearly the fans' favorite, drawing applause during his accompaniments and solo performances.
