on
March 11th, Rob McCartney was honored by the Omaha Press Club as its 128th Photos courtesy of Face on the Barroom Floor. Starting with Omaha Press Club hair-raising tales and finishing with Willie Nelson tunes, the Omaha Press Club’s salute to television’s “Silver Fox” was a unique evening in many respects–including the musical climax by the club’s newest Face on the Barroom Floor. Likely firsts, according to longtime Face watchers, were the emcee– Bill Randby–wearing a tuxedo and a father roasting his own son. Also present at the event was Jim Horan, the artist of the newest caricature. In the style of the Press Club gridiron show, McCartney capped the evening with a Willie Nelson-style salute to the audience. For more information, visit www.omahapressclub.org.
