Diner Chat

It has been so great to see Nashville back to normal. In fact, tourism here is better than ever. Downtown Nashville is crowded with Country music fans having a great time. It is sad to see some of the smaller businesses that didn’t make it after the shut down, and of course you can still see the destruction from the bomb that went off downtown on Christmas day 2020. But folks are not wearing masks, and you can see happy faces again! I will have new books and DVD’s coming soon: “Country Music Legends: Gone But Not Forgotten”, “Phil’s Funnies”, “ Nashville Memorial Tours” Volume 4 and a new book on T. Graham Brown. And of course in early January I will have the 2022 Newspaper Book. I still have Jimmy Capps book and William Lee Golden’s book in stock.

Taping New Shows

Wynn Varble joined Rory Tuesday night. I had never met Wynn before…. but I have to tell you he was GREAT! He is a great singer-songwriter! He wrote the song that Darryl Worley had a hit on “Have You Forgotten” and he is very funny. Not joke funny…..just funny. I can’t wait until we can have Wynn perform at the Diner so you all can meet him.

Branson

Our Branson shows were so much fun. We started the week with Rory Feek performing Monday night. Indiana came with him and sat on stage. Everyone was so happy to see her. She loves ballet so Rory ask her if she wanted to do a Ballet move for us. She was so excited to do a twirl for everyone. I have Rory’s books “Once Upon A Farm” and “ This Live I Live” in my book club. Check it out.

Texas Tenors

Wednesday night was the Texas Tenors and of course those three tenor voices were beautiful to listen to. Thursday night Rhonda and the Rage were there and ready to entertain. I call Rhonda the Energizer Bunny because she never slows down. She loves performing and we all love her. We ended the week with The Malpass Brothers. I laughed so much I was almost sick. I heard a rumor we are already booked for next year at Clay Cooper Theater….so stay safe and plan to come to Branson next year.
