Weekend in Branson

We are all set up and ready to start work tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, yesterday, we joined another couple and went to a SIX concert. This is a group of six brothers (in a family of 10 brothers) with unbelievable talent!! When they were very young, their father recognized their talent, so he sat them down at the piano and began teaching them gospel hymns, which the brothers picked up quickly, singing in 4 to 5 part harmony. After hard work, they made their national debut on the Donny and Marie Show in 1978. By 1987, they began performing at Hollywood A-list parties, and since then have performed with my stars. The unique thing about this group is that they sing with no instruments, but you would swear they are!! They provide their own vocal instrument sound! I kept reminding myself that this is not instruments, it is their voice!!

Today we attended the Cowboy Church in Branson... A real treat! Testimony was given by an "English cowboy" who, while growing up, went to Church of England in AM, Gospel Hall (!) for SS in PM, saved in Assembly of God, baptised in Methodist, married by Baptist preacher, and now attending Cowboy church! Country songs, led by Norma Jean and Tim Handler filling in for the regular guitarist (performs Hank Williams Revisited at the Little Opry Theatre) leading in such songs as I'll Fly Away, This Little Light of Mine, Amazing Grace, and Can't You Hear the Blessed Savior Calling You, along with other Hank Williams songs. Word was given by Pastor Al, Norma Jean's husband.
