Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show at Grand Rivers Variety

by

Johnny Cash Ring of Fire at Grand Rivers Variety

Saturday night, my husband and I took a couple of friends to see Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show in beautiful Grand Rivers, Kentucky at the Badgett Playhouse.  If you’ve read Genuine Kentucky for any length of time, you know that we frequently see shows at the Badgett Playhouse.  They’re always a lot of fun and this show was no exception.

Before I launch into Ring of Fire, I just want to rave a little bit about Badgett Playhouse, Grand Rivers, and the Variety! Music, Memories, & More shows and cast. My husband (Michael) and I also frequently go to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. We see shows at the Opry as well as the Ryman. We always have a great time – Nashville restaurants, combined with the great talent keep us coming back.

I’d love for more Kentuckians (as well as people in other states) to realize that we have a “baby Nashville” in our own backyard. No, Grand Rivers doesn’t have as many restaurants as Nashville (Thank goodness! Who needs the traffic?!) – but many would say that the infamous Patti’s Settlement more than makes up for it.

A few quick facts about Patti’s Settlement (from Grand Rivers.org)

  • VOTED #1 Restaurant for Tourism by the State of Kentucky
  • Blue Chip Award given by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
  • Pork Producers Award
  • General Manager was voted Manager of the Year by Kentucky Restaurant Association
  • Voted #1 by Southern Living Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Award for Best Small Town Restaurant in Southeast United States

Other outstanding restaurants in the area include Willow Pond (Calvert City and Eddyville), Lake Barkley State Resort Park Lodge’s restaurant, Catfish Kitchen (Draffenville),  and Majestic Pizza and Steakhouse (Draffenville – some of the best pizza anywhere!).

Trust me, I can vouch for each of these restaurants – they’re excellent.  If you’re lodging in the area, and time isn’t a problem, you can find even more restaurants in Paducah, Benton, Murray, and Aurora.  If you ever get a chance to eat at Aurora’s Willow Pond, do so. The hush puppies will blow your very mind.

The Variety! Music, Memories, & More shows are as entertaining as the shows we see in Nashville.  Each time I leave, I wonder, “Why aren’t these singers, comedians, musicians, and dancers in Nashville?”  I don’t say it out loud, of course, because I don’t want Nashville to know they’re here.  Why spoil a great thing?!

Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show

Have you ever raved about something (a restaurant, movie, tv show…) to someone, then when they watch it – held your breath, hoping they liked it as much?  With most things in life, it sort of plays out like that.  However, whenever we take friends or family to a Variety! Music, Memories, & More show, I’ve never held my breath once. I KNOW, beyond a hint of doubt, that the people involved will never let us down.

Never have. Never will.

The friends we took were from Nashville, so they’ve seen, and heard, some great entertainment.  It was wonderful to know that they’d see great entertainment on this night as well.  One minute into the show, they were laughing, tapping hands on their legs, and having a great time.  Honestly, there was never any doubt in my mind that the rock would roll just like that.

The show was one that every Johnny Cash fan will want to see.  Not only do the ridiculously talented singers and musicians do the songs GREAT justice, you’re treated to precious footage and memories of Johnny Cash, his life, and his childhood.  It all blends together perfectly to celebrate the life and music of the Man in Black. It’s a 2 hour tribute that you wish would last a couple of more hours.

The show included “regulars” that we know and love: Sara Minihan, Scot Durham, Eddie Holland, Thomas Michael, and Stephanie Jo Newton. I was reminded, again, of how much Stephanie Jo Newton’s voice reminds me of one of my favorite country star’s, Lee Ann Womack. Thomas Michael, who is consistently a crowd favorite, was featured heavily in this show and it was a stroke of genius. His rich, beautiful voice was ideal for Johnny Cash songs. The musicians were, as always, outstanding. Unfortunately, the website (Grand Rivers Variety) doesn’t have the Cast list featured for this particular show, so I can’t give the name of the drummer – but he was really something special!

Fortunately, my husband and I were so impressed with two new faces that he took my notebook and asked Bill Minihan for their names! Barry Jobe and Chad Mullins blew us away. Suffice to say, they were two more performers who had me wondering, “Now… just why aren’t they on stage at The Grand Ole Opry or in Nashville making country music?!” Of course, this was wondered silently. Many times over. Shhh, we don’t want Nashville taking them away just yet.

Barry Jobe did quite a few vocals and did so beautifully. Chad Mullins also did vocals, in addition to playing the banjo unlike I’ve ever heard it played before. I was mesmerized. If either is ever in concert, I’m so there.

Front row.

The whole night was memorable, fun, and very entertaining. One of my favorite moments was the song Jackson by Thomas Michael and Stephanie Jo Newton.  Their voices were wonderful together and each did their parts perfectly.  Stephanie Jo, at a young age,  is outstanding at something that many performers (even veterans) don’t quite get: You don’t have to “oversell” great songs, great writing, and great talent.  You just let it flow.   It’s something I’d noticed before about her and, when I realized that she’d be singing Jackson with Thomas, I thought, “This will be a true test..” After all, the song is so spirited and fun, it would have been really easy to go overboard with facial expressions and try to FORCE the audience to have a good time.

Stephanie Jo and Thomas each realized that the song, the lyrics, and the story they told were the real stars, and they gave them center stage.  By doing so, they showed their own star power.

I hope you’ll make your way to beautiful Grand Rivers, Kentucky and see Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show.  The show will play through mid-May.

Grand Rivers Variety Has Love, Laughs, and Legends in Store for 2011

by

Johnny Cash Ring of Fire at Grand Rivers Variety

If you’ve read many of my articles on Genuine Kentucky, you already know that I love, love, love Grand Rivers Variety.  We’ve seen just about every show put on at the Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Kentucky and never leave without a smile on our face, song in our heart, and coffee on our breath.  Okay, I have coffee breath – my husband, not so much.

In the video below, the ridiculously talented couple behind Grand Rivers Variety (Bill and Sara Minihan) will tell you all about the wonderful shows coming up this year.  I’m especially excited about the “Legends.”  There will be two new shows which pay tribute to a couple of music’s biggest legends… giants, actually: Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.   The Johnny Cash tribute is called Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show. It’ll run during the months of March and April as well as the first few weeks of May.

The Hank Williams Tribute is called Hank Williams: Lost Highway and will run through May and the first week of June.

I’m a HUGE fan of Johnny Cash (as well as June Carter Cash), so I’m really looking forward to this one.  My husband and I will be at one of the first Ring of Fire shows – and we’re bringing friends!

As I was looking over the schedule, I nearly chocked on my coffee (…and, no, as a matter of fact I don’t drink coffee all the time. I have to sleep sometimes you know.).   The third part of the Tuna Trilogy is coming to Grand Rivers.  I’d try to tell you how much I enjoy the Tuna shows, but we’d be here seven and a half days.  Since that’s even longer than it took God to create the world, I’ll just sum it up by saying this:  I love myself some Tuna shows like my cat loves herself some tuna fish.

From Grand Rivers Variety:  The much anticipated third installment in the Tuna trilogy takes the audience through another satirical ride into the hearts and minds of the polyester-clad citizens of Texas’ third smallest town. Along with Tuna’s perennial favorites, some new Tuna denizens burst into the 4th of July Tuna High School Class Reunion. This sets the stage for a show full of fireworks and fun!

From Joi:  Booyah!

Red, White, and Tuna will run during July and August and y’all know I’ll be reminding you a million times between now and then.  That’s how I roll. With a drift toward the obsessive.

Vacation, Eat, Stay, and Play in Kentucky This Year!

As I sit looking out the window beside my computer, I see patches of snow on the ground trying to hold on for dear life as the bright sun (and my willpower) tries to wipe it off the earth. The weather will soon be beautiful again – and, come on, there’s nothing quite like spring and summer in Kentucky.  I can’t wait to start traveling around our beautiful state again, hitting different Kentucky State Parks, historical landmarks, museums, restaurants, Land Between the Lakes, stores, etc.  You always meet the warmest and most colorful people when you travel around Kentucky.  We all share a special bond:  This is our home and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our oldest daughter Emily heard me boasting about Chili’s Restaurant a few days ago. She told us that there’s a Chili’s in Evansville, Indiana.  My husband half-kiddingly told her that we keep our money in the south.  I’m even worse than him – I try my darnedest to keep my money in the state of Kentucky.  That’s not always possible, of course, but it’s more possible than you might imagine.

I hope you’ll take advantage of Kentucky’s beautiful scenery, wildlife, and very special places this year.  Grand Rivers Variety – and the entire Land Between the Lakes region – proves that you can have the time of your life without ever leaving home.  You keep your money in the state and support your neighbors in the process.

Now, what part of that isn’t beautiful?

I’ll remind you frequently about the Grand Rivers Variety shows.  I hope you’ll round up a group of family and friends and see as many shows as you possibly can.  It would make an outstanding trip for a church group, or any group for that matter.

by

What’s not to love about this time of year? Starbucks unveils their amazing seasonal drinks and desserts, the trees put on their Sunday best, the air is brisk, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, UK Basketball comes back to life, and you can realistically start talking about Christmas.

Granted, I’m one of those people who talks about Christmas year-round. But, right around this time of year, people stop looking at me like I have two heads when I bring the subject up.

The annual Variety! Christmas Show just adds to the excitement of the season.  When I read the following on their Facebook page, I couldn’t help get a little giddy and I’ll confess I started humming Christmas tunes. Truth be told, I think I’ll toss in a Christmas cd after my husband leaves for work (the whole two heads thing, you know).

Do what you have to do, see who you have to see, and drive as long as you have to drive to make it to the Variety! Christmas Show 2010 opening night.  It’s Thursday November 4th at 7:00 and I’m giving you plenty of notice, so I’ll see you at the concession stand.  I’ll even let you in front of me if you promise to leave me some hot chocolate.

Bird Watching at Land Between the Lakes

by

As you can probably tell,  we’re pretty much obsessed with wildlife, birds, and butterflies at Genuine Kentucky.  Truth be told, I’m becoming more than a little intrigued with insects as well -dragonflies, lady bugs, stick bugs, lightning bugs… such cool little guys.  Even more reason to love living in Kentucky.  We have such a beautiful variety of these fascinating animals.

One of my favorite things to do when in the Land Between the Lakes area (in addition to eating catfish  – another obsession) is to look for and observe wildlife.  Whether we’re at the outstanding Woodland’s Nature Center, the equally outstanding Elk & Bison Prairie or hanging out at one of the beautiful state parks – my eyes are always peeled for extra-special locals.

When you’re in the Land Between the Lakes area, I hope you’ll take in all the beauty around you – including the amazing array of birds.  At many of the travel brochure stands in the area, you’ll find a pamphlet titled “LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES AREA BIRD CHECKLIST.”  This extremely handy little guide lists the different birds you could potentially see while at Land Between the Lakes.

If you’d like to print out your own guide, you can do that too!  LBL.org has thought of everything and has an online version of the Land Between the Lakes Bird Checklist.

The pamphlet lists the places below as “Recommended Birding Spots”

  • Kentucky Dam
  • Hematite Lake and Trail
  • Honker Lake, Bay, and Trail
  • Woodlands Nature Station Backyard
  • North/South Trail – Sugar Bay to Rhodes Bay
  • Shaw Branch Road – (153/134) from Hwy 68/80 to Energy Lake
  • Elk & Bison Prairie
  • South Oak Grassland Demonstration Area
  • The Homeplace
  • Fort Henry Trails
  • South Welcome Station and Bear Creek

I’d add the following Birding Opportunistic sites in the Land Between the Lakes Region:

  • Lake Barkley State Resort Park
  • Kentucky Dam Village
  • Kenlake Lodge
  • Grand Rivers Jetty at Sunset – At Lighthouse Landing on Kentucky Lake, Grand Rivers, Kentucky
  • Little Lake Park (Grand Rivers) – Located on Commerce Street behind the Badgett Playhouse

Patsy Cline is Back in Grand Rivers Kentucky!

by

Friday night, my Husband (Michael) and I took his brother and his wife to Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Kentucky.  We see shows at Badgett on a regular basis and wanted them to see what they were missing out on.   Some of our favorite Badgett Playhouse shows have been (you can click each title for my review)…..

I’m certain I have other reviews floating around the site (along with the standard praises for catfish at Willow Pond and our State Park system).  What can I say, we love to smile, laugh, and have a great time.  We also love (make that LOVE) the concept of supporting fellow Kentuckians and businesses in our beautiful state.  Why take our hard-earned money to other states on a regular basis?

Outrageous!

The fact that there are so many wonderful places to eat, smile, and laugh within the Bluegrass helps our cause considerably.   The men and women at Badgett Playhouse take a great deal of pride in the shows they produce and the building in which they perform them.  You can tell in each and every detail that there is a great level of pride and integrity.  From the musicians, singers and dancers to the uncommonly friendly women at the ticket office, the usher, and concession stand workers… each individual obviously has one goal: To make this particular night one that each guest will remember with a smile on his or her face.

Like my car driving to Starbucks, they hit their mark every time.

Here’s just a tiny illustration.  After the four of us sat down Friday night, we were looking around – taking in the beauty of the theater and the decorations.  An older (I mean, older, older, older) gentleman came through a side door.  The usher went directly to him to help him find his seat.  That might be kind of expected, but then he offered to let the little guy hold onto his arm.  I thought that was very considerate, very friendly, very Kentucky.

I have to tell you this quick little story:  As the usher and the little old (old, old, old) man were passing in front of us, I caught the older gentleman’s’ eye and gave him my biggest, “By gosh,  you’re cute!” smile.  He returned it.  Then, he stopped in front of me and my husband and said in a voice that started off faint, then rose at the end, “Whoever said these were the golden years…. didn’t know what the hell he was talking about!”

Some things, I’m convinced, only happen within the state borders of Kentucky.

Something else I’m convinced of  – If you have never been to a show at Badgett Playhouse, you MUST head directly to their website, view their schedule and order your tickets right away.  If the trip is one you can make in a day, go early and eat at one of the spectacular nearby restaurants.   Another one of my favorite things about having Genuine Kentucky is that I get do a lot of restaurant reviews.  If you click the link, you can find plenty of restaurants in the vicinity – I have pages of restaurants reviewed, so you’re sure to find one you’ll love.

If you can make it to one of the Always, Patsy Cline shows, you won’t be disappointed.  The story is a beautiful and emotional one and the two ladies (Erica Delkou as Patsy Cline and Sara Minihan as Louise) who make up the cast do a wonderful job – they’ll make you sing along, laugh, smile, cry, and leave with a heart filled with wonderful memories.

You can read my original review of the Always, Patsy Cline show at Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Kentucky.  The only things that have changed between that particular show and this one was the singer portraying Patsy Cline (Patsy is now brought to life by Erica Delkou – pictured on the left) and the wonderful addition of Eddie Dunlap on the steel guitar (he did an outstanding job and I hope he’ll be featured in many upcoming shows).

Sara Minihan (pictured above – on the right) was outrageously hilarious, as always, but don’t let her comic talents take attention away from her voice. She has an outstanding singing voice.  In Always, Patsy Cline you only get a hint of this talent, so you’ll have to grab tickets for some of the other shows as well! She’ll blow you away in the Variety! Music, Memories, and More Show, Pickin’ and Grinnin’, as well as The Fabulous 50′s Show with her singing and dancing.  If you ever get a chance to see her in Bus Stop, you won’t want to miss that either.  I know there are only so many shows they can put on at the Badgett Playhouse, so I’ll try to ease up with my campaigns for more Greater Tuna shows and the return of Bus Stop.  (Do you think the airplane banners, megaphones, and Goodyear blimp were overkill?)  One of my other absolute favorites, The Fabulous 50′s Show, is featured prominently on the schedule.  You can’t miss this one.

Something else that’s fascinating about Sara…get this, the lady makes the gorgeous costumes that you see in these shows.  No wonder she dances as well as she does, with that much talent coursing through your body, it must be hard to stand still.

I was also very impressed with the singer portraying Patsy Cline – native Texan Erica Delkou.  Erica has a beautiful voice and I would absolutely love to hear her sing more.  She made the Patsy Cline classics seem contemporary, like you could hear them on the radio today.  Walkin’ After Midnight and Stupid Cupid were a few of my favorites, though they were all memorable and beautiful.

The band -Thomas Michael, Eddie Hall,  Scott Durham, and Eddie Dunlap – made the evening complete. I wish I had a cd of the evening right now to listen to, actually!

Always Patsy Cline will be running through March 20. Pickin’ and Grinnin’ will run from March 27 – May 1. Click the link for more information on Pickin’ and Grinnin’.

I’ll keep you informed on upcoming shows and announcements. I do know there are upcoming dates for The Big Band Show, The Fabulous 50′s Show, Pickin’ and Grinnin’, and the Variety! Memories, & More Show.  Smoke on the Mountain will be back in September.  Also, at the risk of getting way ahead of myself, It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play will return in November and, yes as a matter of fact, I’m already looking forward to it.  It’s another CAN’T MISS show.

Always Patsy Cline Returns to Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers Kentucky

by

If you’ve never had the privilege of seeing Always, Patsy Cline performed at Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, here’s your chance. Always Patsy Cline returns to the  Badgett Playhouse February 26 through March 20.

Always Patsy Cline is an outstanding and very touching story that the talented performers of Grand Rivers Variety turn into an outstanding and very touching show.  I strongly urge you to go – more than that, I strongly urge you to fill your car up with others and give them a night they’ll long remember as well.  You can read my own personal review of Always Patsy Cline by clicking the link.  I wrote this review on July 4, 2008 and titled it “Always Patsy Cline Will Never Be Forgotten!”   Two things stand out to me about the title of the review:

  1. I seldom ever use exclamation points in the title of my articles or posts.  I use them freely in my writing (lots, actually!) but hardly ever in titles.  I just rarely, rarely, rarely ever do it.  However, there’s a big old exclamation mark at the end of this article’s title.  I was… as we say in Kentucky…  worked up when I wrote it.  Great food, great coffee, and/or great entertainment work me up and the exclamation points fly like arrows from an bow.
  2. I was right. It’s been nearly a year and 7 months and I still recall what a wonderful experience it was.    We go to Grand Rivers Variety Shows often enough to know that the music, the costumes, the singing, the dancing, the popcorn, the coffee, the performances…. everything… will surpass our hopes and expectations every single time.  Everyone associated with Grand Rivers Variety seems to subscribe to the concept of giving their guests more than they paid for.  They do it each and every time and no one ever leaves thinking otherwise.  We expected that,  but we didn’t expect for the show to be so funny!  It’s hilarious – in addition to being very moving.  And the singing… exceptional.

Visit Grand Rivers Variety for more information.  You can launch your own exclamation points!

Lake Barkley: Things You Should Know About This Kentucky Lake

by

Lake Barkley

Lake Barkley is, without a doubt, one of Kentucky’s crown jewels. If you want to see a Kentuckian sit a little taller, just mention Lake Barkley.  Like UK Basketball, Mammoth Cave, and Kentucky Lake – we’re understandably proud.

Below are some bits and pieces of Lake Barkley trivia that you might not have known.

  • Lake Barkley has 57,900 acres of water and 1,004 miles of shoreline.
  • Lake Barkley was named for the 35th Vice-President, Alben Barkley.Barkley, Roosevelt, and Truman campaign button Prior to the Vice Presidency, Barkley served in the U. S. Senate from Kentucky for over twenty years. Alben Barkley was born in a log cabin near Lowes, Graves County, Kentucky.  He worked his way through college as a janitor.  After passing the bar, he practiced law in Paducah, Kentucky.
  • Alben Barkley coined the term “Give ‘em hell, Harry” as President Truman was leaving Washington on his “whistle-stop” train across the country.  Barkley was popularly known as “the Veep” thanks to his young grandson, Stephen M. Truitt.  Stephen preferred the shortened name to “Mr. Vice President.”  When Alben Barkley told the press about his grandson’s phrasing, the newspapers printed it, and the title stuck. Alben Barkley’s successor as vice president, Richard Nixon, declined the nickname, saying that it had been bestowed on Barkley affectionately and, therefore, belonged to him. However, the term didn’t die, and it’s used to this day.
  • Construction of Barkley Dam began in 1959 on the Cumberland River.
  • Lake Barkley’s Maximum depth is 68 feet.
  • Lake Barkley’s Minimum depth is 12 feet.
  • Lake Barkley is known for its Stripers as well as its Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass.  Other fish in Lake Barkley include Crappie (Black and White), Redear Sunfish, Sauger, Blue Catfish, Channel Catfish, Striped Bass, and White Bass.
