Never heard of them but I do believe people like Roy Clark, the Gatlin Brothers, and other well known's play Bronson.

Well known? Well known does not make them great musicians. Hell ... William Hung was well known. Is he a great musician?

Get yer own friggin' grip. In my opinion, those are NOT great musicians. Popular, maybe once upon a time. Maybe still are among the geriatric set and those who don't know great music from a bobcat's wail.

I concur surrounding Olias's point. Most of the acts performing in Branson, Vegas venues, and even Anderson's own HP Casino, are on the skids surrounding popularity; and typically that is due to the fact they failed to renew themselves as artists, or just became purveyors of the same old same old. Had they truly been groundbreakers and achieved true greatness in their craft, they'd be performing to this very day in large mainstream venues,although perhaps with a lot less frequency than they did within their youth.

The acts performing int he aforementioned venues are reliving their glory days, and are counting upon the blue hair crowds to remember them and pay for a ticket to fund their next surgical procedure!

QuoteThere is no way Beethoven would stoop so low as to play in Branson or Vegas.  :rant:

I was just making a joke about all of this with Beethoven and Branson...I think he may have more status than Andy Williams at this point of his career, being he is 240 years old now.  Didn't mean start a major discussion...

ggeeeshhh!... :rolleyes: :razz:

  Well money is money.  I glad they're making money.  At least they are not on the dole and they have to count on the Republican Party for charity.
