Toby Reunion

biscuitcreek · March 24, 2011, 01:34:44 PM

According to the article linked below from Hometown Radio, there is going to be a Toby Show reunion in Branson the last weekend of July. I know the Toby Show has been discussed here on the board several times.

that could be a great reunion to be a part of.,
Interesting that it is only going to be open to friends and family.

Many of the Toby Show performers were entertainers at SDC. Here is a partial list of talent: Terry Sanders, Wayne Milnes, D.A. Calloway, Jim Waddell, Jana Helenben, Shad and Mollie Heller, of course. There were many others. I hope their reunion is a fun one.

oh you know they will. and once again i am impressed with you knowledge of the performers and names!

They were all people I worked with directly or indirectly. I was on the fringe of this crowd. They were the hardcore, talented performers in the area. It was nice just being on the edge of that crowd the years I lived and worked in Branson. zVery talented individuals, each and every one of them. Good people, too.

I was talking about this with DA today in the lunch room. He said that according to Jana, who is organizing this reunion, the intention is for it to include, not only Toby show, but SDC entertainers as well. Sounds like fun...but there's no way it will equal the parties we had back in the day.

nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more.

HMMMMMMMM! (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, INDEED!)

STOP THAT!!!

That's called censorship, guys, and we all know what your little nudges and winks really mean, so don't bother.

Not that I want you to say everything you know about those "blue" events! Please don't.

sanddunerider · March 27, 2011, 12:24:00 PM

LOL. some of the stories i have heard. i would like to have been there for active participation!

Junior · March 27, 2011, 02:24:06 PM

It was a different time and era. We survived. We married, raised children, and are working now with the grandkids, in some cases. I've said it here before, just like the old Hank Williams, Jr. song, "cornbread and ice tea took the place of pills and 90 proof." Yes, me and my rowdy friends have settled down!

true enough junior.

But if you do make the reunion have a great time!. that would be great "family" to be in on.

Junior · March 28, 2011, 08:07:24 AM

Yeah, but my wife would not go for it. She would not be interested in me going alone, and she would not want to go. She thinks I live in the past enough as it is. She just does not understand my fascination with Branson/SDC, although she likes to take short vacations to Branson...but more for the shopping and flea markets. Oh well.

sanddunerider · March 28, 2011, 10:34:52 AM

tough break! oh well, when it comes to the spouse, we all do what we hafta!.

I feel your pain. My wife doesn't get it either.

SDC has always felt like a second home to me.
