I sat right about in the middle of the full house and heard songs from George Jones, Roy Acuff, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. Western swing bluegrass and some mighty hot instrumentals were also in the mix. A few good impersonations and jokes rounded out the first set, and the second set was made up entirely of requests. It's a family show, with great music and good clean fun. Gordon says the band has changed some over the years but the current lineup has been together for a long time.
Many members play more than one instrument.
Lloyd plays rhythm guitar and sings lead vocals, and his son Mark plays drums. Libby Parrish is at the piano, Rick Ferguson plays bass, and Jimmy Misenheimer plays great steel guitar and adds a terrific comedy element to the evening. Libby handles the female leads very well indeed. Absent on this night was Joe Jackson, who plays lead guitar and has won several finger style contests. Gordon fiddles, plays guitar and adds his smooth voice to the harmonies.
