Right about Branson AND the theatre. I drove by his theatre last Thursday and thought of him. Today I was up that way again, and was thinking of all his smiling faces beaming down at us from the billboards on Route 65 through Arkansas and Missouri. He made Branson his home, while many of the musicians there are merely carpetbaggers. He WILL be missed, no doubt about it.

The story of the town of Branson, Missouri itself is quite unique, and beyond the scope of a paragraph or two. I'd have to do some serious research before I would attempt it. Maybe someone else has the facts at hand and would like to try.
