The Jukebox Babes

The Jukebox Babes The Jukebox Babes - Charlene Brigham and Margie Fryer sing and entertain you with Rock N Roll, Count We like to say we have something for everyone.

We are The Jukebox Babes, aka Charlene Brigham and Margie Fryer. We have been singing together since 2003, and we formed The Jukebox Babes in 2005 to sing and entertain. With our music we try to exclude almost every type of genre to include everyone’s interest and likes. Our choice of songs include 50’s/60’s Rock N Roll, Country - new and old, and a bit of songs in between. We gave a few videos fr

om past performances on our site, and hopefully you will check them out and fall in love with us. We have a lot of fun entertaining the crowds. Come join us and dance the night away. You can mainly find us at the Coos Bay Eagles Club. In the past we have preformed at the Reedsport Eagles Club, Coos Bay Elks Club, Mill Casino (Salmon Room). We have also performed for class reunions birthday parities. We also are available for weddings, or any other event you would want our style of music. We also have a demo music for anyone who might be interested. A little bit about myself: “I grew up in a small town in Western New York and moved to Oregon at the age of 23. I have always loved music and been singing ever since I can remember. I was fortunate to have fantastic music teachers throughout my school days. Once out of school I raised four children and was a stay-at-home mom & wife; the only public singing I did during that time was in church. In 2000, I moved to Reedsport where life took a twist and life as I knew it changed forever. In 2003, I met Darleen Mandala and Margie Fryer and the three of us started singing karaoke together. I started singing in the Opry Shows at Little Theatre on the Bay (Liberty Theatre) in December, 2008, it was about the same time that I met Mike Dryden. Mike put together a band and I was one of his singers until he decided to move back to California. I have to give a lot of thanks to Mike for his guidance with helping me improve on my singing skills to where they are today. Also, want to thank for him helping record me on a few disks, which are available to anyone who would like one. Sincerely, Charlene Brigham”
A little bit about Margie Fryer: “I was born in Minnesota but lived in this area since the age of 5. I have my wonderful husband, John and my babies, 4 cats that keep me busy. I always loved music and singing but never found an outlet for it. In 2002, I was reading a magazine and there was a quote that said “Most of us die with our music still in us.” I couldn’t let that happen to me. I contacted Darleen Mandala for some vocal training and through her, I met Charlene Brigham. We clicked musically and personally and started doing karaoke together. We finally created the “Boombox Babes”, and present live performances. We later changed our name to “The Jukebox Babes” because if fit more to the style of music we sing. I especially love the music I grew up with in the 50’s and ‘60s and enjoy bringing back these same memories for our audiences. I hope you will join us and I hope it brings back some memories for you. I also have a disk of my music for anyone who might be interested. Sincerely, Margie Fryer.”

Anna Sewell was fourteen when the rainstorm changed everything. She fell. Her ankle shattered. In 1834, there was no surgery that could fix it. For the next 44 years of her life, she would barely be able to walk.
But she could still drive a horse-drawn carriage.
And on those drives through Victorian England, she began to see what most people ignored.
Horses whipped bloody when they stumbled on cobblestones. Bearing reins—fashionable leather straps that yanked their heads unnaturally high—causing constant agony just so carriages looked elegant. Exhausted animals worked sixteen-hour days until they collapsed in the street.
Anna couldn't march. She couldn't protest. Her body had betrayed her.
But her mind had not.
In 1871, at age fifty-one, she began writing a novel unlike anything attempted before. She would tell a story entirely from a horse's perspective—not as a cute fable, but as a searing testimony of suffering and survival.
Her health was already failing. Some days she couldn't hold a pen. She dictated passages to her mother between waves of pain. On better days, she scribbled fragments on scraps of paper that her mother carefully transcribed.
For six brutal years, she fought her own dying body to finish her "little book."
In November 1877, a small Norwich publisher bought the manuscript. They paid her £40—about $5,000 in today's money. It was the only money Anna Sewell would ever receive for her work.
She was fifty-seven years old. She knew she was dying.
Five months later, she was gone.
She never saw what happened next.
"Black Beauty" exploded across England, then America. Within two years, over one million copies circulated in the United States alone. The RSPCA printed thousands of copies and handed them directly to carriage drivers and stable workers. Lawmakers read it. Reformers quoted it in Parliament.
And then—the law changed.
The bearing rein was abolished in Victorian England. New animal cruelty laws swept across Britain and America. A single novel, written by a bedridden woman who couldn't cross a room without assistance, had ignited a movement that would protect millions of animals.
Anna Sewell never married. Never had children. Never wrote another book. Never lived to see her words transform society.
But 150 years later, "Black Beauty" has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. It's been adapted into films, television series, and stage productions across generations. Scholars call it "the most influential animal welfare novel ever written."
One woman. One book. One chance to speak.
She spent it giving a voice to creatures who had none.
And the world listened.

Been quite a while since the Jukebox Babes have preformed and don't know when we ever will again. We sure do miss everyone.
Here is a little looking back in time to 2015 when we sang at the Reedsport Eagles (sadly now closed) - our rendition of "Dream".

This is a video of the Jukebox Babes singing "All I Have To Do Is Dream" We do not have any copy writes to this song, we just love to sing.

The Jukebox Babes aka Charlene and Margie would like to take this time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. And pray...
