Branson, Mo second time around

Our second stay in Branson was wonderful. We were very busy seeing shows. We spent 2 days at Silver Dollar City enjoying the Bluegrass Festival. Cherry Holmes was the main attraction for the second day. We also enjoyed Cedar Hill. I even got to sing with one of the groups who entertain daily at Silver Dollar City. We attended the Pam Tillis show. Great show. Her brother and sister appeared with her. Second show we saw was Glen Campbell and Charo. Charo put on a great show. She is a classical guitarist and let me tell you, after her performance, her CDs were selling like hotcakes. Glen Campbell did an excellent job and his daughter, Debbie sang with him. We enjoyed a show put on by Tim Hadler who sang a lot of Hank Williams tunes. He has a hit out on the radio called "The Last Hank". Years ago we attended a show at Silver Dollar city put on by a family group called the Haygoods. The boys have grown up quite a bit. They all started out playing fiddle. Can you imagine 8 kids and they all play fiddle. Besides the fiddle, they play quite a number of other instruments. The only girl, Christa, plays harp also. We enjoyed the comedian at the Pierce Arrow show. Pierce Arrow is a group of 6 men. They have 2 bass players that are in the Guiness World book of Records. The Titanic attraction is a 3/4 size replica of the Titanic. We also visited that. It was okay. I enjoyed the one in Las Vegas better. The last show we saw was Yakov. He is originally from Russia; he became a naturalized citizen 20 years ago. We will be moving to Cloud 9 Ranch tomorrow to get a much needed vacation from our retirement.
