Six & Mickey Gilley Shows

Six Show (The Knudsen Brothers)

An orchestra of Human Voices! Another WOW! WOW! WOW! show. They didn't allow flash photography, so I didn't take a chance and didn't take any photos. They come from a family of 10 boys and no girls, apparently their mom and dad (Arnold and Joyce Knudsen) wanted a girl. 6 of them teamed up to create a fantastic show with NO instruments--just their sound effects and voices. Every song they sang was one that we really enjoyed from the 50's and Motown to the Beach Boys. Brothers Owen and Jak did most of the sound effects (drums, etc.) with the rest, Lynn, Kevin, Barry and Curtis singing, though all could sing. All but two were born in different states--they were a traveling family (IA, NM, AZ, TX,WA). Now they live and perform here in Branson. If you get to Branson, don't miss this show! I took the below pictures from their website.

McFarlain's Restaurant (Again)

Twelve of us went to McFarlains for dinner in between shows. The fried green tomatoes were the first thing on our mind--oh, so good! Again, Mem and I had chicken pot pies.

Mickey Gilley Show with Comedian Joe Riley

The Mickey Gilley Show was good, but comedian Joe Riley was really the hit of the show! He had us in stitches!

Tropical Storm Ike is supposed to blow thru in the middle of the night tonight with heavy rain. We decided to stay in Branson for one more night and leave on Monday morning, cutting our visit to Nashville down to a day and a half. So tomorrow will be a get caught up day.
