I am a complete idiot. I have been thinking for years that the song "Why do they call 'em WILD WOMEN?" (circa early/mid 1970's at the silver dollar saloon with Carrie A Nation) was written BY someone at Silver Dollar City. Today at age 42, I had the ingenious idea to GOOGLE the song title and there it was...in a lovely PDF format...wow. Yea shut up. I know I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. But I'll tell ya what I AM gonna do: I'm going to get some parchment printer paper, print it off, frame it, and hang it in my living room!
Now if we can just find someone who has a recording of it...from the 70's...hmmmm? Anyone? Anyone?
Don't they still do that song in the Saloon? I think they did the last time I went.
Yup, it's back.
Yea I actually took my sweetie to the saloon show on a recent visit and woop! There it was! Awesome. After the show, I told the 'owner' of the Silver Dollar that I really appreciated hearing that song again.
The whole Saloon show is great. I think what makes the show though is the fact that the characters interact with the crowd before the show and it makes the whole thing more personal. These kind of touches is what makes SDC what it is. It is just sad that they have lost some of this in other parts of the park.
I agree wholeheartedly oklaSDCfan. The guys and gals in the saloon give it their all every single performance. You can tell they take pride in giving a good show and really want each person to have a great time. I think the show is great this year!! They've tweaked it a bit from last year and really made it a good time. My wife and I love it and my daughters (7 and 12) love it. I wish they could share some of their enthusiasm with the train robbery folks.
I'd kinda like to see a tad more interaction with the audience. They used to actually bring people up on stage and ask them questions and stuff. I remember as a kid, my dad got pulled up on stage. They asked him his name then told the whole audience to say, "HIIII, Fred!!!". So then the whole rest of the day, whenever someone from the audience would see us, they'd go "HIIII, Fred!!!" It was really cool.
