What’s Happening!By Syndney Stone

Branson is an ever-changing landscape, fromshoreline views to who’s on stage. May and Juneare lovely months for strolling thestrip, angling for trout, or teeing offat one of Branson’s championshipgolf courses.

The entertainment landscapechanges, too. This year you can seean array of entertainers performingselect dates. EXILE joins the cast ofLarry’s Country Diner LIVE at theStarlite Theatre May 11 & 12.They join the ranks of entertainerslike Collin Raye, Dailey & Vincent,Riders in the Sky and T. GrahamBrown who’ll be onstage at the“Diner.” (Not to be confused withthe Starlite Diner, home ofBranson’s Biggest Banana Split!)

At Andy Williams Moon River

News on the dining front is the PaddlewheelPub down at Branson Landing; the Paddlewheel isquickly becoming a favorite place to meet and eat.The menu features Nathan’s Hot Dogs (and chick-en and burgers … who knew?!) as well as home-made favorites like macaroni and cheese. The ceil-ing on the first level is the old pressed tin style;upstairs hardwood floors gleam and the wheel-house from the original Lake Queen is perfect forkids who want to “steer the boat.” Tall bars linetwo sides, glass covering old photos of LakeTaneycomo, the Lake Queen … more than 20 yearsago, the Lake Queen was a regular advertiser withthe “Gazette!” Windows on all sides provide vistasof the lake, waterfowl, fishermen — outside tableslet visitors get a close-up view of the fishermenand their catch. The kids love it!

So much to see and do while you’re here;you’d better get going. Have fun!

Haygoods Celebrate Anniversary in BransonBy Linda Burlingame

The Haygoods are an extraordinarily talentedfamily and dazzle audiences with their per-formances. They have created a uniqueshow, an innovative production that hasmade them a hit in Branson, on YouTubeand television, garnering them fans aroundthe world. The Haygoods put their mark onclassic, favorite songs and make them theirown. Their originality is surpassed only bytheir talent. Again this year their show is atRFD-TV The Theatre.

In 1993 the Haygoods moved fromTexas to Branson to perform daily shows atSilver Dollar City. For eight seasons it wasfive shows a day, five days a week. Theyremember hard work … and getting to ridethe roller coasters whenever they wanted!

The park was their “back yard.” They knew everynook and cranny, every place they could get “freesamples.”

“And funnel cakes for lunch, how great is that,”Michael grinned. I was visiting with them recentlyafter their show. I asked their mother, Marie, if sheever had trouble rounding them up. She smiled andsaid, “You know, they were really good. In all thoseyears no one ever missed a show.”

“The Haygoods” on stage today are fivebrothers and one sister: Timothy, Patrick,Dominic, Michael, Matthew and Catherine. Theirshow is incredibly entertaining — singing, play-ing instruments, dancing, acrobatics, specialeffects like pyrotechnics … it really is like noother show in Branson. It’s a physically demand-ing show that energizes and excites the audiencewith fantastic versions of songs like LouisianaSaturday Night, Thank God I’m a Country Boy,jazzy numbers, classical pieces and more.

Farm-to-Fork Cooking School June 8… Make your reservations now!

By Linda Burlingame

The Cooking School in the Keeter Centerkitchen is great fun as well as uniquely informa-tive. You’ll come away with good memories andwonderful recipes, and I’m speaking from experi-ence.

I attended the cooking school last year andloved it. It was nice to meet the others there, andwe all enjoyed working with Chef Robert Stricklinand his staff. We were in the kitchen, wearingaprons and toques; at least we looked like weknew what we were doing!

Before we went into the kitchen, however, wetoured the garden there at the College of theOzarks. From turnips, tomatoes and potatoes, togreen beans, beets and more, the plot furnishes thekitchen with fresh produce all season. “Chef”

plans Dobyns Dining Room menus and recipesaround what’s fresh. A meal any time there is a culi-nary treat.

Class members ranged from 14-year-oldVictoria (She was a whiz!) to some of us over 60.The recipes were printed out ahead of time and I

took lots of notes. (I wrote, “By 9:45 thearomas of garlic and bread baking …yum!”) From practical hints to tips a bitmore sophisticated, the class is excellentfor any skill level. Some things I remem-ber from cooking with mom and grand-ma; however, I did not know the differ-ence in sautois and sauteuse pans! Andwe made our own ricotta! I’ll bet you’venever done that — and it’s easy.

The best part … you get to eat whatyou and the class prepare. Some of whatwe made for our meal was a fresh basilpesto (pots of basil and other herbs on the

By Linda Burlingame

One remarkably interesting fea-ture about the permanent TitanicMuseum in Branson is the extraordi-nary glimpse of life in 1912.Transportation, travel, communica-tion, clothes — in 1912 men werewearing white slacks to play tennisand baby boys, even toddlers, werewearing white stockings and dresses.

“Discover the Children ofTitanic” is the newest exhibit. Therewere 97 children on board.

EntertainerJoey Riley

… diagnosed with cancerBy Linda Burlingame

Joey Riley’s name is synonymouswith great entertainment in Branson.Joey is an excellent musician, anextraordinarily talented comedian. Justthinking of him brings a smile.

Everyone was shocked to learn Joeyhas been diagnosed with stage IV coloncancer. Intrue Bransontradition itwas just dayslater that theJoey RileyB e n e f i tShow wasscheduled. Itwas an amaz-ing show. Theday after theshow, thereport was$62,000 andc o u n t i n g .There were more than 600 silent auctionitems; a guitar, signed by Joey and allthe day’s performers, went for $4000!Joey does not have health insurance;monies will go to help Joey and his wifeKelli with mounting medical costs. Ifyou would like to help, there is informa-tion at the end of this article about dona-tions.

The Benefit for Joey Riley was awonderful show. The “house waspacked” and the stage full of talentedentertainers that included musiciansJoey has worked with and played forsince early in his career. Video clipsbefore and during the show broughtlaughs and smiles, from hairdos andclothing styles as well as classic Rileyhumor! After a thoughtful prayer byDave Hamner, Clay Cooper and his

Country Music Express opened theshow. Joey has been part of that showfor the past couple of years.

Joey Riley made Branson his homewhen he joined the Texas Gold Minorsmore than two decades ago. MickeyGilley saw Joey in that show and askedJoey to be a part of his show. Joeyplayed fiddle and steel guitar in Gilley’s

U r b a nCowboy Bandand was thecomedy star ofGilley’s showfor more than20 years. Joeyhad his owna f t e r n o o nshow atGilley’s forseveral years.In 2012 he leftto continue hisown show andto be part of

Clay Cooper’s show.

Clay and Joey have been friendssince kindergarten in Wyle, Texas,where Joey’s parents owned the WylieOpry. Joey grew up around music andcountry music legends. Before he was17 Joey toured with Capitol Recordsartist Gene Stroman and Suzy Bogguss,playing the steel and fiddle. (Stromanwas on hand to perform at Joey’s bene-fit show.) Later Joey was part of theWarren Stokes Country Revue, inEureka Springs, Arkansas. Joey added“comedian” to his list of talents when hewas with Stokes.

Warren Stokes’s widow was atJoey’s benefit, as were most of Joey’s

past employers. During intermission I got to visit a fewminutes backstage with Joey. As he looked around theroom at celebrity friends, neighbors and musicianfriends, he said, “It’s just overwhelming. And so niceto see so many people I haven’t seen for a long time.You know, I always left on good terms with myemployers.” He looked at me and grinned. “I guessthat’s a good piece of advice!” Looking more serious,“You just never know.”

Joey told me that over the years he and Gilley had“probably done 3500 benefits … but I never dreamedin a million years there’d be one for me.” He smiledagain, “But this is a good feelin’.”

Later, when Splinter Middleton, entertainer andlongtime friend, was on stage, Joey made an unan-nounced appearance and came onto the stage behindSplinter, who didn’t see him. The crowd began toapplaud and rose to its feet. Splinter kept playing for aminute, then looked around and saw Joey. Theyhugged and laughed. “And I just thought y’all werejust really enjoyin’ my song,” Splinter grinned. Theshow was certainly fun and entertaining, just the wayJoey wanted.

Melody Hart, Paul Harris, Norma Jean, JimOwen, Kathy Eckert and SIXwere other entertainersthere to entertain in support for Joey. Tony Orlandocould not be at the show but sent aheart-felt video greeting. Kaci Bayswas there, too. Kaci sang withGilley’s show for several years, aswell as being part of Joey’s show.

The last segment of the showbegan with Mickey Gilley, whoreceived a standing ovation. WithPenny Cardin and Jana King Evans,Gilley sang his classic Room Full ofRoses. There were video clips of Joey and Gilley,Gilley always the “straight man” to Joey’s shenani-gans.

Gilley said, “We all pitched in to make this happen… and I think he’s having a good time, too. Ladies andgentlemen, Joey Riley!” It was a poignant moment butafter the applause, when the audience took their seatsagain, Joey and Gilley sparred as only they can. Later,in one of the sweetest moments of the show, Gilleysang his Urban Cowboy hit, Stand By Me.

At the close of the show Joey and Clay sang abeautiful ballad from Joey’s new album, We’re GonnaKick the Footlights Out One More Time. Joey told the

audience, “I’ve made my livin’tellin’ jokes … and stealing them.” Itwas emotional when he thanked “allmy wonderful friends” and said,“It’s been an honor and a pleasure …I only ever wanted to entertain, to beknown not as a musician or comedi-an, but as an entertainer.”

Joey, you are one of the bestentertainers we know. And everyone

is going to “stand by” you. We want to see you backon stage soon.

Joey’s tumor could not be removed surgically. Hewill undergo chemotherapy and radiation to shrink thetumor. Joey plans to be back on stage in the fall.Donations can be made to “Benefit of Joey Riley” atBank of Missouri, 800 Highway 248, Suite C,Branson, MO, 65616.

Roy Rogers, Jr., & the High Riders… entertaining at RFD-TV The Theatre

By Linda Burlingame

Roy Rogers, Jr., his son Dustin and the HighRiders entertain fans all over the world, from fairsand convention centers toCarnegie Hall to the stage ofRFD-TV The Theatre. Theirshow is wonderful for every-one, especially for those of uswho “grew up with Roy andDale.”

The cowboy music isexcellent, as are the storiesDusty (Roy Rogers, Jr.) andhis son Dustin tell aboutgrowing up with Roy Rogersand Dale Evans. Video andmovie clips bring back marvelous memories; andyoungsters in the audience leave with a newfoundappreciation for cowboys and their music.

Cowboys sang about things they knew — wideopen spaces, night skies filled with stars, wide riversto be crossed, their horses and cattle, being awayfrom home. Some songs are poignant, “Send my

mail to the end of the trail, goodbyeto the old empty bunkhouse.”Other songs like Cimarron havedriving, exciting melodies. Theinstrumentals are good in the show;so are the arrangements of the clas-sic songs. The High Riders areJohn Fullerton, Nathan Agdeppa,Irl Hees and Dino Strunk. Perhapsnot typical cowboy names but theyare excellent musicians! Eachplays several instruments; the line-up includes Nathan on fiddle, Johnon guitar and mandolin, Irl on the

upright bass and Dino on banjo.

Music includes bluegrass, country, songs of faith,

as well as some original music written about the“King of the Cowboys,” including Roy Rogers IsRiding Tonight by Elton John. This year Dusty singssome favorite music of other styles, music he was lis-tening to as a young man and during the time he wasa DJ. We get to hear a tune or two from crooners likeDean Martin. Of course, there’s El Paso from MartyRobbins and some Texas Swing from Bob Wills.

Roy and Dale did countless movies and televi-sion shows. Because they were also very popular inMexico and South America, Spanish songs werealways part of the song list. The audience lovesAdobe Walls. And Dustin’s spoof on some classicrock ‘n’ roll is fun!

As Roy Rogers always ended the show, “Goodluck and may the good Lord take a likin’ to you.”Happy Trails, written by Dale Evans, is a classicway to say farewell. Don’t miss Roy Rogers, Jr., &the High Riders!

the “iceberg,” imagine sailing in an ocean scattered with them; peruse thefascinating exhibit of what was happening in the world then. Each of morethan 20 galleries is unique. The shipyard features huge photographs of theBelfast yard, the clank and clatter sounds of shipbuilding. Explore theGallery of Father Browne’s amazing photographs; stroll past a berth the actu-al size of a Third Class Titanic cabin; walk up the Grand Staircase (built toscale) to a replica of a First Class cabin, like the one John Jacob Astor andhis wife occupied.

The Marconi wireless equipment on display is valued at $500,000. Thefirst distress calls sent were CQD; then, “Send SOS; it’s the new call.” Noone would have survived without the telegraphed messages. The Captain’sBridge is intriguing, with maps and route charts of the North Atlantic. Itlooks busy; but there wasn’t much traffic that cold, dark night. TheInteractive Gallery captivates everyone, from trying to walk the 45-degreesloping deck, to sitting in a recreated lifeboat made of yellow pine, oak andelm.

George Symons, a lookout on Titanic, is quoted as saying, “By the smellof it there is ice about. As a rule you can smell it before you get to it.” It was11:40 p.m. April 14 when Titanic Lookout Frederick Fleet called to theBridge, “Iceberg right ahead!” When she sank at 2:20 a.m. April 15, Titanicsailed into history. That history comes alive in more ways than you can imag-ine at Titanic in Branson. Learn, explore, hear their stories … and rememberTitanic.

play violin, saxophone, guitar, piano,harp, drums … and BANJO! Yes,

BANJO! (When you see the show,you’ll understand, BANJO!”)

The action numbers are amazing.(From the Thesaurus: Astounding.Incredible.) They tell the story thattheir mother, in an effort to give themanother outlet for all that energy, putthem in tap lessons. Let them tell youthe rest of the story, but they ended upusing smashed tin cans attached totheir old cowboy boots, dancing upand down the street. That paid off bigtime. Wearing a variety of boots andworking on a variety of platforms, theytap their way through an extraordinary,heart-pounding, foot-stomping dancesegment. Dino Phillips is theHaygoods drummer; but Catherineplays a second drum set for the tapnumber.

As I mentioned, they make thesongs their own with exceptional

arrangements, like the Eleanor Rigbyand (Michael Jackson) SmoothCriminal medley. Other times theylook like‘rhinestonec owb o y s ’with lightedsuits andg l o w i n gg u i t a r s !Beautifullyw o v e n ,i n t r i c a t eharmoniesc om p l e t ethe picture.Sweet saxo-p h o n em u s i c ;M i c h a e ldoing a flipoff the stage to race up the aisle whileplaying his fiddle (don’t try this athome); Catherine on the harp; the

Jimmy Buffet - Zach Brown Band’sKnee Deep; banjo-fiddle duels …musical variety that pleases every

audience.

Roller coasters? They’restill fans. The Haygoodswere on hand to sing a beau-tiful a cappella rendition ofThe Star Spangled Bannerfor the Grand Opening andDedication of Outlaw Run,Silver Dollar City’s new“World’s Most Daring”wood coaster. I askedCatherine about riding thecoaster. “It’s amazinglythrilling, a must-ride.” Sheadded, “And it’s reallysmooth!”

Their show is a wild ride; and youcan catch it at RFD-TV The Theatre.“Banjo Boy is cleared to land.”
