Happy 4th, 5th, 6th… of July!<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy 4th, 5th, 6th,… of July! \u00a0It’s me, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders in the midst of my 34th year comedy marathon here in Branson, MO! I have NEVER been busier & never happier about it. I have 8 jobs this season & I’m getting booked on the side, in-between, around, & on top of all of those jobs!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was at Silver Dollar City on Monday July 29th (One of my regular days off) so I could be OFF on Wednesday so I could help out the MDA as ‘Barney Fife’. \u00a0I was at Rocky’s Italian Restaurant in historic downtown Branson, MO. \u00a0“Thank you!” for helping us raise money for MDA’s ‘Lock-Up’!<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 19th our friend & fellow comedian, Joey Riley left this world to never suffer again from the cancer that took his life. \u00a0He brought joy to all those he ever encountered & will truly be missed. \u00a0Mickey Gillie & Clay Cooper truly honored this funny man on Monday July 22nd at the Clay Cooper Theatre – once again & for the last time, Joey Riley packed-out the house with several standing ovations! \u00a0Till we see you again Joey!<\/span><\/p>\n
