Growing up I saw a lot of shows and concerts in Branson. Here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head: The Rockettes, Oak Ridge Boys, Johnny Cash, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Lorrie Morgan, Bobby Vinton, Ray Stevens, Jim Stafford, Yakov, Andy Williams, Mel Tillis, Pam Tillis, Merle Haggard, Boxcar Willie, Charley Pride, Kenny Rogers, and Moe Bandy. The ones that made the biggest impression on me were Johnny Cash, Mel Tillis, Charley Pride, Bobby Vinton, Ray Stevens, and Jim Stafford; mainly because they were the most down-to-earth during their performances.
