widely acclaimed for his phenom-
enal guitar work, his songwriting
abilities and as a founder of
Southern Rock music.
Joining Betts on stage is a sec-
ond musical genius Dangerous
Dan Toler, who has played with
the Dickey Betts Band, the All-
man Brothers Bandand the Gmgg
Allman Band. Toler is no stranger
to the June Jam stage and has
headlined Delaware's premium
outdoor event on two occasions.
Guitar legend, Dickey
Betts, a founding member of
the Allman Brothers Band
will be the headliner with
Great Southern for the 25th
annual Jume Jam Saturday,
June 21, near Harrington.
Said longtime June Jam attendee
Lynn Fowler recently: "I've seen
lots of great bands at June Jam in-
cluding 38 Special, Kansas &
Cheap Trick. My favorite per-
former is Dangerous Dan Toler
and his red hot guitar."
Dickey Betts and Dan Toler
will be joined on stage by a third
genius in musical history,

a complete make-over, including,
the replacement of the roof, rein-
forcement of the ceiling, installa-
tion of fire safety, secure lighting
and audio systems, and rehabilita-
tion of the facade. As a landmark
of Milton's history the theater rep-
• resents the lives of the people as
well as the town of Milton.
Upon completion of the Theater
, Project, the MDC envisions that
the theater will be utilized for the
cultural arts as well as community
use. Once the project reaches
completion the theater should be
able to fulfill the needs of a per-
forming arts center, a classic
movie house and a community
outreach venue. The theater will
also have an adjoining food facili-
ty which MDC hopes will lead to
marketing a successful cafe or
eatery.
The theater has already been re-
served in July for Habitat for Hu-
manity, in December for the 4th
Annual John Milton Poetry Festi-
val, and will also be the rain date
location for all of Milton's park
concerts.
The MDC's latest fundraiser for
the theater renovations is The
Comedy Cabaret Inc., featuring
Patrick O'Donnell of ABC's
America's Funniest People, Mary
Frances Connelly, Philly's Funni-
est Lady, and Steve Golasa of
Comedy Central.
There will be two shows, Friday
June 13, and Saturday, June 14,
both at 7 p.m..
There will be a sumptuous buf-
fet and each guest will receive one
free drink from the cash bar.
Sweets and coffee will round out
the evening.

mates, Betts and Toler, Neel will
perform with the original Johnny
Neel Band.
The Johnny Neel Band domi-
nated the bars and the beaches in
Delaware and nearby states
throughout the 80s and won sever-
al awards while recording two
well received albums. When con-
tacted last week Neel was per-
forming on the same bill with
George Thorogood and the
Delaware Destroyers, and said,
"Thorogood is a great guitarist,
but I played in New Orleans sev-
eral weeks ago and Dickey Betts
is a phenomenon. His guitar "work
is better than ever. He told me that
he and his band can't wait to play
June Jam. He, Danny Toler and I
have made special plans for June
Jam and we have the musical fire-
power to blow the crowd away."
