The theater was filled with families who brought Dads for a special night out. Myrtlebell drove her Daddy all the way from Mattress Springs, Arkansas. She thinks she is "famous" you know because she won the "2007 Bless Your Heart Award." Anyway, Daddy was armed with a shot gun, so needless to say they let his baby sing.


Everyone screamed and yelled so she thought she did a great job and left peacefully when it was over. Her daddy was so proud of his little Walmarter's Daughter. Click on the link below to hear Myrtlebell. Her Daddy's friend had the camera, and the growling you hear at the beginning is his stomach.

7-5-08 (Special show for our military)
We were honored to have two very handsome military guests and families visit our show. They are both presently serving and we are so thankful to them for what they do for all of us.
Sonny and daughter Chastity showed up for them ...singing "I Got You Babe"...
Vacationers dropped by...singing "When the Sun Goes Down" and they had to leave and go back to the beach...
Buford T. Butts drove his tractor, but didn't want to miss it...
Eternity Gunn (aka Forever Firearm) and Lindsay McPherson were the only normal people on the show and did a great job...
Jose Jose had a stomach problem, but came anyway dragging his toilet paper with him on the bottom of his foot...
The beautiful Judith Lynn brought joy to all of the guests with her love for them...
Anthony wanted to know "Do You Want Fires With That"... (The most requested song).
Jade Kapri honored the military guys with "A Picture of Me Without You"...
and yes, Elvis even showed up...
Come and join us every Saturday night. You never know what will happen on that stage. We guarantee you will have a great time!

The show opened with "Mississippi Squirrel" and kept the audience laughing and anxiously waiting for what was coming next. Sister Bertha Better-Than-You finally showed up and was hilarious. What a group. You have to come and see it to believe it.

This show was a "hoot". The audience was celebrating two birthdays and the customers had a ball. There were some first time visitors who won the "Coffee News" tickets. They were the sweetest couple. We sure hope to see them again. Enjoy the slide show.

Memorial Day Show with honored guest Major George Sellers, Army National Guard and Bronze Star recipient. Major Sellers served two tours in Iraq. He is our hero. He is also known as Sr. Cpl. Sellers on Dallas Police Department Bike Patrol. Special thanks also to his beautiful wife, Jennifer.
Great show! Forney Opry's own X-Alt Quartet put on an explosive tribute to our military. Also appearing on the show was Chastity Ross, Tamara Rudder, Sydney Shelton, Candace Reagan, Anthony Perry and Wayne Tywater. "Thank you" just isn't enough to express our thanks to our troops, fire fighters and police officers.
See Battle of Statue of a Fool online.
The audience was on the edge of their seats when Mark Henderson began singing "Statue of a Fool." Mark blows that song away. He is the 2007 Male Vocalist of the Year.
He and Anthony Perry had been working together all day, picking at each other. Mark told the audience that Anthony was his filler. "...fills my dead air." Druing that song, Anthony came out and sang behind him. At first Mark thought there was echo in his mic. The competition was on...Mark said, "I ran out of breath" Anthony held the note and said, "and I smoke". As the keys changed they both stayed strong. They both kept singing and they sounded like one. WOW! Unbelieveable! There are no audience micraphones to pick up the crowd, but listen at the end of the song.
