Show was unexpectedly good LK..

Had a fantastic time at the Carolina Opry. It was a 2 hour show, and the theater was packed. Block bookings from churches as far as Virginia helped with the sales.
Kel and I weren't interested in the dances (high kicking NY Rockette style) but the clogging was nice, performed by semi finalists "All That" from one of those tv talent shows.
Comedy skits were great, there was even a psuedo Duck Dynasty appearance that got the audience in stitches.
The 5 piece band mostly stayed in the background, atop a moving stage. Kel and I craned our necks trying to spot them and when the Hammond B3 was played, that sent me to rapture!! Lolol.. love that organ sound! Think I was the only one that clapped :(

A young man (can't recall his name) has a voice like Harry Connick Jr. but plays his trumpet like Chet Baker! Wonder if he has a mid tooth missing!

Carole, there's this singer, a semi finalist from American Idol (when Fantasia and J. Hudson were competing).. La Toya London, who stole the show.
She was incredibly good, and she had performed with Fantasia for that Oprah stage production "Color Purple" and beat Fantasia for the best actress award!!
She sounds so much like Carmen MacRae. Didn't take a picture of her. She's the only black performer, but she brought down the house each time she belts a number.

Kel's got excited when a real horse and the truck appeared. Guess it's a horsepower night for him! Lol!

Okay some pictures.
