Branson Day 5

Dick Clark's American Band Stand Theater was our afternoon and evening destination after having a free morning at the RV Park. The afternoon matinee was an enjoyable hour listening to Dave Sommerville the lead singer from original Diamonds. Their hits included "The Stroll" and "Silhouettes" and much much more. The second hour was the 3 remaining members of Bill Haley's Comets whose hits included "Rock Around the Clock," "Shake Rattle and Roll," and "See Ya Later Alligator". They included the original sax player 73 years old the original drummer 84 years old and the original bass player 74 years old. The drummer still plays a mean set of drums, he was featured on a drum solo that must have been 5 minutes long. Next was a tour of 57 Heaven. That is a collection of nearly 70 beautifully restored 1957 cars all owned by one person. After touring the museum we enjoyed the dinner theater featuring Bob Anderson's musical tribute to Frank Sinatra & Friends. He is a fantastic singer and it was a very enjoyable show. All in all it was a very nostalgic afternoon and evening.
