Thank you MDA for 13 AMAZING years!

Fabulous February is here & it has been fabulous!  Normally here in Branson things are slow, even quiet, but not  this year!  Jan. 19th I hit the road with Spoken 4 Quartet & traveled to Galveston, TX where we boarded Carnival Cruise ship ‘Breeze’!  We had 4 shows in 7 days with ports of call in Cozumel, Belize, & Honduras!  Even Gma Beulah played tourist on the beaches of Mahogany Bay, Roatan Honduras!

    

The second we disembarked the ship in Galveston, I was in an Uber & on my to Houston, TX. to board a plane & fly to Charlotte, N.C..  There I joined CJ & Chris Newsom for the ABA ~ American Bus Association convention to invite them to bring their tour coaches to see CJ Newsom’s Classic Country & Comedy show (Formerly known as Classic Country’s Patsy Cline & Friends show)!  It was a major success & then we took our time driving back to Branson!

We made stops in Asheville, N.C. to visit the Biltmore Estate…

 

 Then Pigeon Forge to take a private tour of Dollywood… 

Next was Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry!  It had been 29 years since I was in the Opryland studios, this is where I filmed 13 episodes of ‘Hee Haw’ the fall of 1989!  We visited the Patsy Cline museum where we were honored to meet & visit with Julie Fudge ~ Patsy’s daughter!

After a long trip in snow & icy roads on Sunday, we hit the ground running on Monday!  CJ & I (As Barney Fife) were celebrity judges for the annual MOB ‘Soup-er Bowl’ where we taste-tested/judged 34 bowls of soup!

Friday & Saturday, Feb. 9th & 10th, CJ & I appeared at the Liberty Theatre in Hartshorne, OK. for their annual Valentine’s Day dinner & show at 6:30 PM on both Friday & Saturday night!  Sunday morning we left McAllister, OK & headed to Cushing, OK. where we made an appearance at the First Church of God at 10:30 AM!  A great time was had by all & thanks to Pastor Kevin Clouse for allowing us to do the service with song, testimony, & humor too!

Feb. 14th ~ Valentine’s Day

I hosted Big Cedar’s ‘Not So Newlywed Game’ as ‘Joan of the Ozarks’.

BIG Changes…

Big changes happen every season here in Branson, & we will have some for our show!  CJ Newsom has done her ‘Classic Country’s Patsy Cline & Friends Show’ in Branson for 5 full seasons!  She is changing the name for a broader demographic to;

‘CJ Newsom’s Classic Country & Comedy’

She will continue to do ALL of Patsy’s hit songs, plus we’ve added 2 new performers, Ashley Jo Sheilds and Michael Frost will add depth and pizazz. From great duets to wonderful dancing!

Come Sail With Me…

I have a little ‘down time’, but I will leave for Galveston, TX. with the Spoken 4 Quartet on Jan. 21st & we depart on our Gospel Cruise aboard Carnival’s ‘Breeze’ to Belize, Honduras, & Cozumel!  We return to port on Jan. 28th & I will get a Uber ride to Houston & then fly to Charlotte, N.C. to attend the American Buss Association (ABA) convention for 3 days!  then slowly head back to Branson!

I have never been bored!
