Branson Tues. Sept.13

Another hot day in Branson but we enjoyed the day by going to two shows---one in the morning and one this evening.  In between we did some shopping.

The first show was the George Dyer Show.  This guy is an incredible singer--everything from opera to love songs to rock.  His 22 year old daughter is also an exceptional singer.  These shows are very entertaining with lots of audience participation and comedy thrown in.  Of course our Vicky got picked to go on stage with 2 other ladies and of course she was thrilled.

This is not the main attraction guy in this picture.  This is the keyboard player in the group with Vicky.  All five guys in the band were exceptional musicians and entertainers.


This picture below shows the handsome and talented George Dyer plus two other ladies with Vicky.  He did a musical skit that kept the audience in constant laughter












As you can see the ladies had a great time on stage and the audience seemed to enjoy the fun.

In the evening we went to see the Hamner and Barber show.  Hamner is a fabulous illusionist and Barber is a ventriloquist.  They have known each other since they were kids and their acts compliment each other.  These shows last about 2 hours with a fifteen minute intermission.  We are seeing 2 shows each day for the rest of the week.  It may seem like a lot but they are a lot of fun.  Plus, Vicky and I feel like kids compared to most of the audiences.  This is definitely not a place to bring kids unless you want to show them what they will look like if they don't eat their veggies and exercise on a regular basis and use lots of sunscreen.

The weather is suppose to cool down a bit to the 70's over the next few days which we will be a welcome change.

  1. So, where are the shopping pictures? I suppose that a lot of the tourists in Branson could go to the same show all week and see a new show each time. I suppose that there are more wrinkles in that town than in a CSI show. Are there factory outlets for Depends and Goldbond? Hopefully, Vicky gets a seat closer to the smorgasbord at the next show! In the last picture, she looks like she was the only one on stage who got the joke or else she is trying to tell the guy to STFU.
