It's less than an hour from me. :-)

It passes through Jackson, Tennessee at exit 79 and then Brownsville
at exit 56 I believe. :-)

My wife and I spent several days in Branson, MO and went to 2 great shows! The first
was 'Legends' which had impersonators of Frank Sinatra, Carrie Underwood, The Blues
Brothers, Pat Benatar, and Elvis.

Each did a great job and each looked very similar to their respective personalities. I
figured this show could not be beat, and then we went to another show the following day
on a showboat called 'The Branson Belle'.

This dinner cruise included a magician/emcee, a singing and dancing troupe, and the
food was well worth the cost of admission.

We saw the Heygoods. I didn't think at first it could be better than the Legends, but it
was. There were 5 brothers and 1 sister in the group, and each played several instruments. We heard country, rock and roll, pop and more. The vocal harmonies were
fantastic and the instrumental harmonies were as well.

There was one song where the female played the harp while 2 of the brothers used their
fiddle bow strings to play different notes on the harp at the same time. Awesome! They
invented a guitar that had strings on the top to play bass, a normal guitar in the middle
and harp strings on the bottom. So, 3 people were playing the 1 guitar at the same
time. Never saw anything like that before.

This was our 2nd trip to Branson. The first allowed us to see Andy Williams before he
died. Branson is a great destination for entertainment.

It seems you had fun. I find the lack of electric guitars in Sinatra's pieces a bit troublesome,
but I still value them as good stuff :-)

Mike,

This was our 2nd trip to Branson. The first allowed us to see Andy Williams before he died. Branson is a great destination for entertainment.

I had gone there with a couple of ham radio friends for an event in
April years ago. While there, we saw ventriloquist Todd Oliver (he has
a live dog in his act), and Tom Mullica (doing a tribute to Red Skelton).

Several of Todd's routines can be found on YouTube. With Tom Mullica,
you thought Red had come back from the dead.

There were a ton of funny routines (including Guzzler's Gin <G>), but
the best one had to be when he found out that there were nurses in the audience. He was absolutely ecstatic with joy...saying to them "I'm so
glad you are here today!! I've been dying to ask this question".

The hall gets dead quiet, and he looks at the nurses and inquires
"Have we had our bowel movement today??!!" <G>.

It brought the house down in raucous laughter, and those nurses were
as red as tomatoes!! <BG>

They are working on widening US Highway 65 to 4 lanes all the way from Branson, Missouri...south through Harrison, Arkansas, then down to
Clinton, and Conway, Arkansas...where it junctions with Interstate 40.
It's already 4 lanes between Clinton and Harrison, Arkansas, but that
was 2 years ago...and it may be completed all the way there now.

Interstate 40 runs between the Carolinas and the West Coast...going
through such cities as Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis, Tennessee... Brinkley, Forrest City, Hazen, Lonoke, North Little Rock, Conway,
Morrilton, Russellville, Ozark, and Fort Smith, Arkansas...Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma...and Amarillo, Texas. There are many more, but I'd
have to look at map for that info.

Several years ago, when an errant barge on the Arkansas River struck
one of the I-40 bridge piers at Webbers Falls, Oklahoma...I-40 was
closed for 2 weeks, while they worked round the clock to completely
rebuild the bridge. You can imagine what a traffic nightmare that was.
