Guitarist/keyboardist, Ronnie Burgess, lives in Cedar Rapids IA. Ron played both the Beebe Circle and the Health Center Courtyard in The Mayflower Community on Thursday, July 8th.
He mixes up things, sometimes playing keyboard and sometimes guitar. His music consists of old standards, country, and some gospel. Ron has been playing music since 1962. Ron’s whole family has been playing music around Marshalltown, where he was born. For 15 years prior to his brother’s death in 2019, the family played a monthly barn event in Gilman.
50 years ago, Ron played music in bars and restaurants; Elks, Eagles and Moose clubs; American Legions, and golf clubs for about five years. About five years ago, he decided to do music again, playing up to 25 senior events per month. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ron played some private parties and other gatherings. Now, he’s back at it.
