What’s Happening! The Shepherd of the Hills Gazette
By Syndney Stone
Branson is an ever-changing landscape, from shoreline views to who’s on stage. May and June are lovely months for strolling the strip, angling for trout, or teeing off at one of Branson’s championship golf courses.
The entertainment landscape changes, too. This year you can see an array of entertainers performing select dates. EXILE joins the cast of Larry’s Country Diner LIVE at the Starlite Theatre May 11 & 12. They join the ranks of entertainers like Collin Raye, Dailey & Vincent, Riders in the Sky and T. Graham Brown who’ll be onstage at the “Diner.” (Not to be confused with the Starlite Diner, home of Branson’s Biggest Banana Split!) At Andy Williams Moon River
Theatre Rich Little, Clint Black, and Randy Travis are some of the entertainers starring in Moon River Weekends this fall. Liverpool Legends … the complete Beatles experience!, a Grammy Award-nominated group celebrates the Beatles 5 0 t h Anniversary at Moon River. Louise Harrison, sister of Beatle G e o r g e Harrison, handpicked these talented “lads” and they present an extraordinary show. Superb cos-

tumes, fantastic sets and really good musicianship make their show a Beatles extravaganza. I love this show!
News on the dining front is the Paddlewheel Pub down at Branson Landing; the Paddlewheel is quickly becoming a favorite place to meet and eat. The menu features Nathan’s Hot Dogs (and chicken and burgers … who knew?!) as well as homemade favorites like macaroni and cheese. The ceiling on the first level is the old pressed tin style; upstairs hardwood floors gleam and the wheelhouse from the original Lake Queen is perfect for kids who want to “steer the boat.” Tall bars line two sides, glass covering old photos of Lake Taneycomo, the Lake Queen … more than 20 years ago, the Lake Queen was a regular advertiser with the “Gazette!” Windows on all sides provide vistas of the lake, waterfowl, fishermen — outside tables let visitors get a close-up view of the fishermen and their catch. The kids love it!
So much to see and do while you’re here; you’d better get going. Have fun!

Haygoods Celebrate Page 4 May/June 2013
By Linda Burlingame
The Haygoods are an extraordinarily talented family and dazzle audiences with their performances. They have created a unique show, an innovative production that has made them a hit in Branson, on YouTube and television, garnering them fans around the world. The Haygoods put their mark on classic, favorite songs and make them their own. Their originality is surpassed only by their talent. Again this year their show is at RFD-TV The Theatre. In 1993 the Haygoods moved from Texas to Branson to perform daily shows at Silver Dollar City. For eight seasons it was five shows a day, five days a week. They remember hard work … and getting to ride the roller coasters whenever they wanted!

The park was their “back yard.” They knew every nook and cranny, every place they could get “free samples.”

“And funnel cakes for lunch, how great is that,” Michael grinned. I was visiting with them recently after their show. I asked their mother, Marie, if she ever had trouble rounding them up. She smiled and said, “You know, they were really good. In all those years no one ever missed a show.”
“The Haygoods” on stage today are five brothers and one sister: Timothy, Patrick, Dominic, Michael, Matthew and Catherine. Their show is incredibly entertaining — singing, playing instruments, dancing, acrobatics, special effects like pyrotechnics … it really is like no other show in Branson. It’s a physically demanding show that energizes and excites the audience with fantastic versions of songs like Louisiana Saturday Night, Thank God I’m a Country Boy, jazzy numbers, classical pieces and more.

Farm-to-Fork Cooking School June 8 The Shepherd of the Hills Gazette
By Linda Burlingame
The Cooking School in the Keeter Center kitchen is great fun as well as uniquely informative. You’ll come away with good memories and wonderful recipes, and I’m speaking from experience.
I attended the cooking school last year and loved it. It was nice to meet the others there, and we all enjoyed working with Chef Robert Stricklin and his staff. We were in the kitchen, wearing aprons and toques; at least we looked like we knew what we were doing!
Before we went into the kitchen, however, we toured the garden there at the College of the Ozarks. From turnips, tomatoes and potatoes, to green beans, beets and more, the plot furnishes the kitchen with fresh produce all season. “Chef”

plans Dobyns Dining Room menus and recipes around what’s fresh. A meal any time there is a culinary treat.
Class members ranged from 14-year-old Victoria (She was a whiz!) to some of us over 60. The recipes were printed out ahead of time and I took lots of notes. (I wrote, “By 9:45 the aromas of garlic and bread baking … yum!”) From practical hints to tips a bit more sophisticated, the class is excellent for any skill level. Some things I remember from cooking with mom and grandma; however, I did not know the difference in sautois and sauteuse pans! And we made our own ricotta! I’ll bet you’ve never done that — and it’s easy. The best part … you get to eat what you and the class prepare. Some of what we made for our meal was a fresh basil pesto (pots of basil and other herbs on the See COOKING SCHOOL, Page 12

“Discover the Children of Titanic” The Shepherd of the Hills Gazette
...at Titanic Branson – the World’s Largest Museum Attraction
By Linda Burlingame
One remarkably interesting feature about the permanent Titanic Museum in Branson is the extraordinary glimpse of life in 1912. Transportation, travel, communication, clothes — in 1912 men were wearing white slacks to play tennis and baby boys, even toddlers, were wearing white stockings and dresses.
“Discover the Children of Titanic” is the newest exhibit. There were 97 children on board. Two crew members were 15year-old boys, traveling without family. The other children, from babies to teenaged children, traveled with family; one 15year-old girl was “traveling with husb a n d . ” There is a Steiff toy cat exactly like one pictured onboard. The toy is valued at $20,000 t o d a y . Visitors are touched by t h e poignant s t o r y
accompanying a thermos retrieved from wreckage of the Titanic. Further on, “children of all ages” enjoy meeting “Polar,” the interactive polar bear. Listen in as children ask him questions, even advice not related to Titanic! There were passengers from 40 nations onboard Titanic in April of 1912. After you receive your Boarding Pass, notice the flags of those 40 nations on display in the lobby. Touch

Entertainer Joey Riley The Shepherd of the Hills Gazette
… diagnosed with cancer
By Linda Burlingame
Joey Riley’s name is synonymous with great entertainment in Branson. Joey is an excellent musician, an extraordinarily talented comedian. Just thinking of him brings a smile.
Everyone was shocked to learn Joey has been diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. In true Branson tradition it was just days later that the Joey Riley Benefit Show was scheduled. It was an amazing show. The day after the the show, report was $62,000 and counting. There were more than 600 silent auction items; a guitar, signed by Joey and all the day’s performers, went for $4000! Joey does not have health insurance; monies will go to help Joey and his wife Kelli with mounting medical costs. If you would like to help, there is information at the end of this article about donations.
The Benefit for Joey Riley was a wonderful show. The “house was packed” and the stage full of talented entertainers that included musicians Joey has worked with and played for since early in his career. Video clips before and during the show brought laughs and smiles, from hairdos and clothing styles as well as classic Riley humor! After a thoughtful prayer by Dave Hamner, Clay Cooper and his
Country Music Express opened the show. Joey has been part of that show for the past couple of years.
Joey Riley made Branson his home when he joined the Texas Gold Minors more than two decades ago. Mickey Gilley saw Joey in that show and asked Joey to be a part of his show. Joey played fiddle and steel guitar in Gilley’s U r b a n Cowboy Band and was the comedy star of Gilley’s show for more than 20 years. Joey had his own afternoon show at Gilley’s for several years. In 2012 he left to continue his own show and to be part of Clay Cooper’s show.
Clay and Joey have been friends since kindergarten in Wyle, Texas, where Joey’s parents owned the Wylie Opry. Joey grew up around music and country music legends. Before he was 17 Joey toured with Capitol Records artist Gene Stroman and Suzy Bogguss, playing the steel and fiddle. (Stroman was on hand to perform at Joey’s benefit show.) Later Joey was part of the Warren Stokes Country Revue, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Joey added “comedian” to his list of talents when he was with Stokes. Warren Stokes’s widow was at Joey’s benefit, as were most of Joey’s See JOEY RILEY, Page 8

past employers. During intermission I got to visit a few minutes backstage with Joey. As he looked around the room at celebrity friends, neighbors and musician friends, he said, “It’s just overwhelming. And so nice to see so many people I haven’t seen for a long time. You know, I always left on good terms with my employers.” He looked at me and grinned. “I guess that’s a good piece of advice!” Looking more serious, “You just never know.”
Joey told me that over the years he and Gilley had “probably done 3500 benefits … but I never dreamed in a million years there’d be one for me.” He smiled again, “But this is a good feelin’.”
Later, when Splinter Middleton, entertainer and longtime friend, was on stage, Joey made an unannounced appearance and came onto the stage behind Splinter, who didn’t see him. The crowd began to applaud and rose to its feet. Splinter kept playing for a minute, then looked around and saw Joey. They hugged and laughed. “And I just thought y’all were just really enjoyin’ my song,” Splinter grinned. The show was certainly fun and entertaining, just the way Joey wanted.
Melody Hart, Paul Harris, Norma Jean, Jim Owen, Kathy Eckert and SIX were other entertainers there to entertain in support for Joey. Tony Orlando could not be at the show but sent a heart-felt video greeting. Kaci Bays was there, too. Kaci sang with Gilley’s show for several years, as well as being part of Joey’s show. The last segment of the show began with Mickey Gilley, who received a standing ovation. With Penny Cardin and Jana King Evans, Gilley sang his classic Room Full of Roses. There were video clips of Joey and Gilley, Gilley always the “straight man” to Joey’s shenanigans.
Gilley said, “We all pitched in to make this happen … and I think he’s having a good time, too. Ladies and gentlemen, Joey Riley!” It was a poignant moment but after the applause, when the audience took their seats again, Joey and Gilley sparred as only they can. Later, in one of the sweetest moments of the show, Gilley sang his Urban Cowboy hit, Stand By Me.
At the close of the show Joey and Clay sang a beautiful ballad from Joey’s new album, We’re Gonna Kick the Footlights Out One More Time. Joey told the audience, “I’ve made my livin’ tellin’ jokes … and stealing them.” It was emotional when he thanked “all my wonderful friends” and said, “It’s been an honor and a pleasure … I only ever wanted to entertain, to be known not as a musician or comedian, but as an entertainer.”
Joey, you are one of the best entertainers we know. And everyone is going to “stand by” you. We want to see you back on stage soon.
Joey’s tumor could not be removed surgically. He will undergo chemotherapy and radiation to shrink the tumor. Joey plans to be back on stage in the fall. Donations can be made to “Benefit of Joey Riley” at Bank of Missouri, 800 Highway 248, Suite C, Branson, MO, 65616. Letters, cards and well wishes for Joey can be sent to Joey Riley, c/o Chuck Landry, 904 Hawthorn, Branson MO 65616.
Roy Rogers, Jr., & the High Riders The Shepherd of the Hills Gazette
By Linda Burlingame
Roy Rogers, Jr., his son Dustin and the High Riders entertain fans all over the world, from fairs and convention centers to Carnegie Hall to the stage of RFD-TV The Theatre. Their show is wonderful for everyone, especially for those of us who “grew up with Roy and Dale.”
The cowboy music is excellent, as are the stories Dusty (Roy Rogers, Jr.) and his son Dustin tell about growing up with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Video and movie clips bring back marvelous memories; and youngsters in the audience leave with a newfound appreciation for cowboys and their music.
May/June 2013 Page 9
… entertaining at RFD-TV The Theatre
Cowboys sang about things they knew — wide open spaces, night skies filled with stars, wide rivers to be crossed, their horses and cattle, being away from home. Some songs are poignant, “Send my mail to the end of the trail, goodbye to the old empty bunkhouse.” Other songs like Cimarron have driving, exciting melodies. The instrumentals are good in the show; so are the arrangements of the classic songs. The High Riders are John Fullerton, Nathan Agdeppa, Irl Hees and Dino Strunk. Perhaps not typical cowboy names but they are excellent musicians! Each plays several instruments; the lineup includes Nathan on fiddle, John on guitar and mandolin, Irl on the upright bass and Dino on banjo. Music includes bluegrass, country, songs of faith,
as well as some original music written about the “King of the Cowboys,” including Roy Rogers Is Riding Tonight by Elton John. This year Dusty sings some favorite music of other styles, music he was listening to as a young man and during the time he was a DJ. We get to hear a tune or two from crooners like Dean Martin. Of course, there’s El Paso from Marty Robbins and some Texas Swing from Bob Wills. Roy and Dale did countless movies and television shows. Because they were also very popular in Mexico and South America, Spanish songs were always part of the song list. The audience loves Adobe Walls. And Dustin’s spoof on some classic rock ‘n’ roll is fun!
As Roy Rogers always ended the show, “Good luck and may the good Lord take a likin’ to you.” Happy Trails, written by Dale Evans, is a classic way to say farewell. Don’t miss Roy Rogers, Jr., & the High Riders!

kitchen window sill!); the ricotta and a walnut vinaigrette, for a salad that included fresh beets; garden fresh ratatouille (Yes, Chef has seen the movie; his kids gave it to him!); flan pastry and confectioner’s custard for the Tarte aux Fruits de Saison.
While we prepared the tenderloin, C h e f g a v e s o m e amazingly interesting facts on how to select good beef. The class was well organized, fun and casual, with animated questions and comments. It was quieter during lunch. Mostly the satisfying sounds of friends enjoying a delicious meal they’ve prepared together. It was all a lovely experience.

the “iceberg,” imagine sailing in an ocean scattered with them; peruse the fascinating exhibit of what was happening in the world then. Each of more than 20 galleries is unique. The shipyard features huge photographs of the Belfast yard, the clank and clatter sounds of shipbuilding. Explore the Gallery of Father Browne’s amazing photographs; stroll past a berth the actual size of a Third Class Titanic cabin; walk up the Grand Staircase (built to scale) to a replica of a First Class cabin, like the one John Jacob Astor and his wife occupied. The Marconi wireless equipment on display is valued at $500,000. The first distress calls sent were CQD; then, “Send SOS; it’s the new call.” No one would have survived without the telegraphed messages. The Captain’s Bridge is intriguing, with maps and route charts of the North Atlantic. It looks busy; but there wasn’t much traffic that cold, dark night. The Interactive Gallery captivates everyone, from trying to walk the 45-degree sloping deck, to sitting in a recreated lifeboat made of yellow pine, oak and elm.
George Symons, a lookout on Titanic, is quoted as saying, “By the smell of it there is ice about. As a rule you can smell it before you get to it.” It was 11:40 p.m. April 14 when Titanic Lookout Frederick Fleet called to the Bridge, “Iceberg right ahead!” When she sank at 2:20 a.m. April 15, Titanic sailed into history. That history comes alive in more ways than you can imagine at Titanic in Branson. Learn, explore, hear their stories … and remember Titanic.

The action numbers are amazing. (From the Thesaurus: Astounding. Incredible.) They tell the story that their mother, in an effort to give them another outlet for all that energy, put them in tap lessons. Let them tell you the rest of the story, but they ended up using smashed tin cans attached to their old cowboy boots, dancing up and down the street. That paid off big time. Wearing a variety of boots and working on a variety of platforms, they tap their way through an extraordinary, heart-pounding, foot-stomping dance segment. Dino Phillips is the Haygoods drummer; but Catherine plays a second drum set for the tap number.
As I mentioned, they make the songs their own with exceptional
arrangements, like the Eleanor Rigby and (Michael Jackson) Smooth Criminal medley. Other times they look like ‘rhinestone cowboys’ with lighted suits and glowing guitars! Beautifully w o v e n , intricate harmonies complete the picture. Sweet saxop h o n e m u s i c ; Michael doing a flip off the stage to race up the aisle while playing his fiddle (don’t try this at home); Catherine on the harp; the
Jimmy Buffet - Zach Brown Band’s Knee Deep; banjo-fiddle duels … musical variety that pleases every audience.
Roller coasters? They’re still fans. The Haygoods were on hand to sing a beautiful a cappella rendition of The Star Spangled Banner for the Grand Opening and Dedication of Outlaw Run, Silver Dollar City’s new “World’s Most Daring” wood coaster. I asked Catherine about riding the coaster. “It’s amazingly thrilling, a must-ride.” She added, “And it’s really smooth!”
Their show is a wild ride; and you can catch it at RFD-TV The Theatre. “Banjo Boy is cleared to land.”
