One of the best reasons to live in the Branson area --- or visit --- is for the Christmas shows and true spirit of the season. We have countless opportunities to see entertainers from the little-known to the world-known put on Christmas shows with everything: music, comedy, sparkle, spirit, and FUN!
We went to one such show last week. Dino Kartsonakis, generally known as just Dino, is a classical concert and gospel pianist, emphasis on the gospel. He and his wife Cheryl team up for entertainment extravaganzas at Christmas, Easter and dates in between. Whenever we've been in Branson at the same time as they are you could find us at their show. Because of personal connections we usually have the pleasure of sitting in prime seats. This was one of those times. Much to our surprise, the show we attended last week was also being filmed for broadcasting on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) on December 22 (10:00 p.m. CST). The host for the evening advised us that the stage wasn't the only area being filmed. Given our second row seats we could just possibly show up on TBN! No acting was required because the show was truly inspiring and entertaining. Pictures here are of Dino, Cheryl and various shots possible in the dark with no flash and very fast moving dancers! Dino's website is http://dinoplayspiano.com/
Other shows we will be seeing will be Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner Show, Paul Revere and the Raiders (you need to be older than dirt to remember them -- Paul Revere is almost 70!), the Music of Mannheim Steamroller, and anything else we can fit in. Of course there will be the all-day excursion to Silver Dollar City and their 4 million lights, stage shows, and the best hot chocolate in the world.
Hey! Y'all come to Branson! You'd be surprised what you'll find here!
