I love living in Branson, that is no joke. But sometimes things can go the wrong way. A star is having a bad day, and you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. In the 90's I met a lot of starts, as Branson was a place to make money. And Mucho of it! So they flocked here like Seagulls. And either they were heavily populated in droves here, or I was just a lucky guy.
1)
Glenn Campbell-I am a hug fan. Wichita Lineman is an awesome album, and Glenn is just a genius. I got to meet him many times, and watch him play on a regular basis at the Roy Clark Celebrity theater. I'm really sorry to hear about his disease, but I'm impresed with the documentary they made about it, and about how Brave he is in his fight. He's just a great great musician.
2)
Merle Hagard-I was working at a convenience store one time, and Merle came in and bought diapers. Thats right,and a lot of them. I got his autograph while he was in the store and he was very nice. Go Merle!
3)
John Davidson-I worked a show with him in about 1992. A very nice guy, but that night he wasn't haveing a good night. For whatever reason something was on his mind. Not sure what it was.
4)
Roy Clark-worked for Roy from 1991-1997 on and off. Such a brilliant guy, that all I can say is good. He always called me big-un as he couldn't remember my name. And thats Ok, I'll take Big-un from a guy like Roy any day. I had so much fun working there.
5)
Marie Osmond-She did some great shows back in the day at RCCT celebrity theater. She sent me to go buy Christmas candy for her show, that she later showered the audience with. I went through later and picked up all the Candy and put it in big bags and took it home. I did that during everyone of her shows. The word Bandit comes to mind. I'm sure she hit quite a few people in the head, so it worked out well.
6)
Jamie Farr-this guy was an amazing actor. He did wheel of fortune or price is right or something at Roys. He was always very personable. And did a great job on stage
.
7)
Tony Orlando-I really liked Tony, had his own theater here at one time. And his employees thought he was great. But one day, I wasy paying Tony a compliment and he must of gotten angry. And we got in a big argument, I'll write an article about that one of these days.
8)
George Lyndsey-great guy, very personable, and very complimentary of people.
9)
William Lee Golden-a great guy. He was out of the Oaks for a bit, when I met him. Signed an autograph for me and everything.
10)
T. G. Shepperd-so good with people its not even funny. And very approachable. And incredible on stage. Go T.G.!Check the rest of the story here
