James Lee Stanley and John Batdorf Play the Stones

BeeKay

What if Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had hailed from California instead of Britain?

Would the Rolling Stones songs have sounded more like The Beach Boys', sung in tight harmony and played on acoustic guitars?

James Lee Stanley and John Batdorf will present their answer to that question when they perform their "All Wood and Stones" concert in the BeeKay Theatre Saturday, March 1, presented by Fiddlers Crossing.

With songs that in the hands of these two virtuoso singers and acoustic guitarists will seem both familiar and brand new, and dashes of the duo's comedic repartee, this will be an evening not easily forgotten.

James Lee Stanley and John Batdorf are no strangers to Tehachapi.

Both have played at Mama Hillybeans in the past.

Stanley has performed twice for Fiddlers Crossing, and last fall in the BeeKay Theatre, in a concert sponsored by the Bear Valley Cultural Arts Associaton.

Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at Mountain Music, 206 E. F St. in downtown Tehachapi, or at Tehachapi Treasure Trove, Tehachapi Furniture in Old Town, and Lucky's Barber Shop on Green Street.

Tickets may also be reserved by calling 661-823-9994. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
