I didn't think they had telephones and electricity in the Ozarks in 1880. 
Just kidding. Don't use twitter so it doesn't matter to me either way

@Junior.

If I make a living at it that's cool. If not,  that's ok too. Would like to try to get a job at SDC within the next couple years. Also wanting to open a computer consulting business. Any need for that around Branson?

Been here a couple weeks. Been going to SDC most of my life. My grandparents owned at Treasure Lake from 1984 until they passed away. They knew most of the  entertainers back when most of them were local talent. I always loved bluegrass music and decided to learn to play the violin after watching Shoji play at the Starlight theater in 1984. Now I play fiddle, mandolin, bass, and acoustic guitar in a band in Oklahoma City called Southern Ride. Would love to get the chance to play in Branson someday. I am a computer geek professionally, but kinda burned out and looking for something else.

I want to play my fiddle in silver dollar city. This has always been one of my fantasies. I would like to be a street performer like they used to have on the front side of the Hospitality house. I sorta got to play there once in 1995. THis lady was making violins and she let me play hers. That was pretty awesome.
