Thanks to all for the response to this thread. Dale, I have made a copy of your information for future reference. GUEST,Gene thanks for your story.

As a child my father would take me to the eight street theater to see the WLS Barndance. I will never forget seeing Lulubelle and Scotty on stage. I often think about the number of performers who got there start on the Barndance. Television killed many opportunities.

As I sing the old songs I am amazed how many folks long for the simple old country songs. A young man came up to me a said he loved "In the pines", "please teach me that song" he said. Yes, the magic is still in the music. Last year I posted a threads about "Gigs to remember". The wonderful experiences were not because of me, it was the music. Music as powers we don't totally understand. I have seen lives changed because of Music Therapy. Music helps you see life from a different (Deeper) perspective.

Thank you Lulubelle and Scotty for leading me down this path. I will miss you guys. Your music, on the collectors CD's, will always remind me of you and what you did for me.
