This past weekend, Laurie and I treated my mother, Ruth Smail Miller and my step father, Bob Miller to a concert at the Palace Theater in Greensburg, PA. My mother, and Bob, enjoy this band from Branson, Missouri called Branson On The Road. They watch them perform on television on the RFD Channel.
I called my mother upon learning the band would be close and she jumped at the chance to see them again.
The band consists of three musicians and singers doing classic country music. This event, was a Christmas special. Debbie Horton is a great rhythm guitar player. She put in all the chords to Christmas songs. Christmas songs often do not fit what many musicians consider “normal” when chords are used. She got him! She has a beautiful voice, too.
Cliff Boone played lead guitar, mandolin, and five-string banjo, as well as vocals. He does a very good job on all of them.
Brain Capps plays an upright bass using the “slap bass” technique. he did an excellent job.
I told the band that my mother’s 88th birthday is on December 6th. They all praised her and congratulated her. They said she looked great, and mom does! The event and time with family was a well spent time together.
