2010 Branson National Star Reviews

The Theater

March 26, 2010 March 27, 2010

I knew I was in a different setting when the elderly
filled audience started waving "Maggie Mae" towels.
We were given one as I showed my ticket to the usher.
I have never seen a Midwest Country show and I had no
idea that I was in for a treat. And a treat I got.
Maggie Mae entered the stage to a towel waving frenzy
by the loudly cheering crowd. When she opened her
mouth and started to sing, my mouth dropped open and
didn't close till I realized it was open.
This lady can "flat" sing her heart out.
Her voice and yodeling reminded me of Patsy Montana
or Margot Smith, also great yodelers.
She sang great classic western songs with the classic
flair that she possesses.
Her rare cowboy charm captivated the audience and
I was right there with them.
She sang one of Tanya Tucker's songs as well,
if not better, than Tanya herself.
Oh by the way, I taught at Willcox Middle School in Arizona
where Tanya went to school. I did not teach her,
but I heard her and her sister, LaCosta, sing many times.
Maggie announced she was going to sing "Grandpa"
and I was delighted to hear that.
I was not disappointed in the performance.
The fantastic lighting added so much to my
enjoying the performance.
Her veteran tribute was great.
She had the audience stand and we all sang "God Bless America".
I have my towel ready for her next appearance in Branson in October.




Maggie,

All I can say is wow, wow, wow.....incredible performance.... More

Maggie you and your band put on an excellent show.
You rate right up there with the shows that we have seen at Branson.
All of your band members are excellent, experienced musicians.
Your are fortunate to have a band so well versed and polished in
their music skills. What ever method of mentoring, enthusiasm
and encouragment you are excersizing - it is the right way.
Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on a great show at Mooney Hollow.
It was great to see somebody my age standing up for traditions,
it doesn’t seem like there are enough of us in our generation.
I will be watching for you on the internet, and hope you will be
in Iowa again soon.
(Hopefully Sage Rosenfels will get to start next year) ;)
