Our show day started at 10:00 a.m. this morning with a great show by the Gatlin Brothers! We would rate this show as one of the top 3 shows that we have seen so far--Jim Stafford and Shoji Tabuchi being the other 2. We've got 3 more shows to attend before we "round em up" and "head em out" on Sunday. They sang songs like "Broken Lady", "She Used to be Somebody's Baby" and "All the Gold in California".

After the show, those wanting CDs, pictures, etc., signed waited down in front of the stage for them to do so. We had gotten a DVD and Larry & Mem a CD, so we took advantage of getting signatures and pictures with each of them. Here are a few of them:

We had lunch at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill. Mem and I opted for their baked potato soup while the guys got burgers. Boy, was it good!

The gang got together again tonight for dinner. We had a singer playing his guitar during dinner playing requests and a dance floor that was used often. Here's a picture of one of our tables.

Grammy Award-winner Larry Gatlin has been entertaining audiences for over four decades, from childhood gospel performances to the White House to Broadway.

Featuring color photos of the entertainer along with his granddaughter, Parker, the book reveals a grandfather's solution to soothing his little angel's awful cold-by making her laugh at a song he makes up. In the book he shares the song, titled "Boogers and Snot," with other kids and "grownup kids" at a Christmas church service to remind everyone that God loves them, even when a bad cold leaves disgusting results. The book is a grandparent collaboration, with photos taken by Larry's wife, Janis. Printed music and a CD are included for those who want to play and sing along.
