Terry….WOW, didn’t think I would ever get the chance to talk to you again. I began watching you sing back in ’88, I was only 12, when you were at Echo Hollow with the Branson Brothers. You were my absolute favorite of the quartet. I not only enjoyed your singing and talent, but I LOVED getting to talk to you at half time and after the show. You made me feel special and at least pretended to remember me every time I came to talk to you. I didn’t feel like some snot nosed kid bothering the entertainment, you took time to “hang” with me even when there was a line waiting for your autograph.

As I grew up I got to watch you with several groups including Pierce Arrow and found it a real blessing to follow your career. I learned by watching you what it meant to have passion about something and to pursue that passion. It was obvious you were doing what you loved. A true inspiration!

It was a sad day when you left Branson!!

Thank you very much. I don't remember your name though. I apologize. Thanks again for the compliment.

I too was one of the many who enjoyed your talent and passion for your work over the years. It's good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well and that your family is well. As I remember, you went home to care for your parents. Although PA is still very good, they have added alot of "bling" to make up for Denny and Terry!! Casey is very good, but some of the other new fellows are not as strong. The new bass singer gives Dan a run for his money...kind of funny!!
Take care Terry and know that Branson misses you.

I don't know anyone's real name on here, but thanks for the compliment.

Those were the days...
I did lighting with the Branson Bros. in the Echo Hollow era. I've never seen a Branson show move as much merchandise as the Branson Bros. during that period....and the house was usually packed every night.
They also had a smokin hot band back then....the late great Stacey Gravatt on guitar...
yep...good times...

Darn Right! Stacey was one of the most talented musicians I have ever worked, along with being one of the quirkiest too. He really showed me a different angle to approach music from. We all still miss him.

Stacey was so amazing. We was so much fun to watch and an unbelievable talent. He too was one who always made time for the fans. It's funny, he was my first "crush" as a little girl. I remember when he got married, Valentines day of my freshman year in high schoo, BROKE MY HEART!!!!!! Haha Little girls and their crushes

I hadn't seen him in years and came back to B-town for a visit in August '97, right before he was diagnosed with cancer. I was so thankful we made the trip. Still remember when Ashley Ellison called and told me he passed away. Sad day.

There was no one like him

Do they have a CD or DVD of the 2008 Season or will they be producing one this season?

We were there last week and they were only selling CDs by Dee, the comedian and some of the band members. I sure hope the Branson Brothers have something for sale soon. The show is terrific, we will be heading back in a week or two. It is amazing that with all the difficulties they had with their previous theater that they could put together such a quality show in such a short time. Thank goodness for the fine people at God and Country to recognize such a terrific show and add it to their line-up. Thank you.
