Howdy friends, It’s me, Terry, ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders here in the entertainment hub of America, the one & only Branson, MO!  It’s cold, but that’s about it.  I will see the REAL Joan Rivers this Friday in Springfield, MO where she is performing her comedy.  A lot of changes in town for the 2010 season, you know, “Musical chairs” with the shows & performers.  I have always tried to be consistent, that’s why I am in my 31st season with Silver Dollar City.

They will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary all season!  All year long they have some amazing surprises, shows, & their newest ride, Tom & Huck’s River Blast!  I will be playing about 6 characters a day out there all over the 56 acre park. My family always vacationed in Branson & that’s why I am here today, I fell in love with Branson & Silver Dollar City at the ripe old age of  6!  The only year we did not go to Silver Dollar City was 1969. The Beverly Hillbillies were filming 5 episodes there & I wanted to go & meet them since it was & still is, one of my favorite TV shows.  My dad said, “No, we can’t go down there.  Why there’s probably 3,000 people there!  Here’s a photo of them arriving at the ‘Hotel’.

This will be my 13th year on The Vacation Channel with my own hour-long TV show called ‘Branson Country’ as Terry the Tour guide.  We’ll be filming this spring around April.

I’ll be back in the Shepherd of the Hills play 7 nights a week.  This will make my 4th season there & the best part is that my wife & our 2 sons work there too so I get to see my family… finally!

The Sundance Film Festival was a big success as it always is.  They featured independent films & one this year is called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work’. I met the REAL Joan one year ago & the film crew making this documentary was with her.  They met me & found out that I was an entertainer from Branson, MO who has corresponded with Joan for over 30 years.  Plus, I have impersonated her for 21 years!  The producer e-mailed me about 4 weeks ago to say that I was in the finished film!  I will see Joan again February 5th in Springfield, MO.

I will be up-dating my ‘Personal Appearances’ page very soon.  I am excited about them all, but one in particular is coming up on Monday, March 29th, 2010 at 2 PM.  The show will be at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, IA.

I will be performing with a group called Spoken 4!  Cecil Stringer, who was the bass singer for the Braschler Music Show for many years, is in this wonderful group.  He & I did a lot of comedy skits together so this will be quite the reunion.  I love the audiences in IA & hope that you can make it to this incredible show!

Happy New Year to you & yours & sincerely, thanks for dropping in on me here at Homerlee.com.  Stay tuned!

Always, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders
