It seems Garth is setting a trend.....

After 40 years on the road, the Statler Brothers are retiring from the road.

I grew up on the Statlers, and can still sing along to even their album cuts. But I have yet to seem them in concert. Now, I obviously am not going to get the chance. :(

To me, the Statlers are true American originals. Their country / gospel harmonies, with songs about true life, brought you into their life, so you felt you knew them, their hometown, and their families.

All these years later, to me, Jimmy is still the new guy.
To Harold, Phil, Don and Lew - and Jimmy, thanks for the Maple Street Memories!

My sister is going to be crushed...she was so angry when TNN took the Statlers off the air. Now she's not going to be able to see them on tour.

Ok there is a glimmer of light!

Bless their hearts, they've announced that they're retiring from touring at the end of this year!

Ok, I MUST see a show this year! (dear God, please don't make me go to Branson. Any other show, anywhere!)

Wooooo Hoooo !
Roadtrip!

I was just making a joke Vanessa. Branson caters primarily to people.... a little older than myself. Most of the crowd that goes there goes on tour buses full of people, not really my crowd.

But for the Statlers, I would go to Branson!
