Paul Harris is a very funny man and has a great show!

Sometimes a person just feels like he needs a laugh. If you're in Branson when that time comes you need to go to the Paul Harris show at Music City Centre. I did and I did. I don't know when I've laughed so hard. I think I laughed more than Dee but I saw her laughing a lot too and although she probably won't admit it I think she was laughing at some of the "male comedy" too.

In addition to his creative comedy, Paul demonstrated his extensive musical talent along with a strong and talented team of musicians and singers.

The night we were at his show he featured "The Voices of Glory" a group of three young siblings who were finalists on America's Got Talent. They were a very nice unexpected bonus. They say they are thinking about opening their own show in Branson someday. Here's their picture, many of you will probably recognize them.

It was a fun night of good music and good humor, patriotically presented. If you need to laugh go here!

There's Magic in Branson

We took Ty, our grandson, to the Kirby Van Burch Magic Show last week. Our most repeated comment about the show was, "How'd he do that?" Kirby kept us more or less spell bound as he moved from one illusion to the next.

How good was it? Any show that can keep a five year old awake three hours after his bed time after not having an afternoon nap is very good. Dee and I have seen some magic shows in the past but I do believe Kirby packs more into his show than I've ever seen. Several of the illusions I've never seen before. Some I have a theory as to how he might have done the trick but most of the tricks I have no clue.

This is an excellent show for all ages. We also appreciated Kirby's Christian testimony at the end of the show. Do put this show on your list! Here's a link to his web site, Kirby Van Burch

Great new show in Branson!

One of the newest shows in Branson is JEERK which is showing at the Hughes Brothers Theater. Dee and I attended last Saturday to see what it is all about. We didn't know exactly what to expect. They are billed as a "Rhythm Artist Group" and "The Ultimate Rock 'n' Rhythm Show". Well they are both and we had a great time. The packed crowd agreed in that they gave several standing ovations during and after the show.

We particularly liked the synchronized tap dancing and perfectly timed choreography as well as the humor. They take some of the most common household and industrial items and make music with them. For example they use bottles, cans, walkers, drums, grinders, and nike sneakers modified with taps. We think the younger set will really get a kick out of this show so Dee and I are definitely going to go back!!

Here is a link to their web site at Jeerk.com and here are a couple samples I found on U-tube. Sample 1, Sample 2.

By the way, their name is an acronym of the first letters of their last names.
