SATURDAY NIGH WAS COUNTRY MUSIC NIGHT ONCE AGAIN
AT MOONEY HOLLOW BARN
AT GREEN ISLAND, HERE IN
JACKSON COUNTY AND NANCY AND I HAD A FUN NIGHT WITH
A NEAR FULL HOUSE OF COUNTRY MUSIC FANS. THE STAR WAS MOE BANDY SHOWN HERE IN THE BLACK HAT, WITH
HIS 6-PIECE AMERICANA BAND.
FIRST, AT 7 P.M. WE WERE
ENTERTAINED BY RUSS HAYWARD AND JACKSON COUNTY'S POPULAR BAND,
"COUNTY TRADITION" WITH
MAQUOKETA'S OWN SANDY MANUEL ON THE DRUMS. THEY HAVE A GREAT SOUND AND WILL BE THE OPENING BAND FOR THE COUNTRY SHOW
AT THE FAIR THIS JULY, HAVING WON THE BATTLE OF BANDS EVENT AT THE
FAIRGROUNDS A WEEK AGO. MOE AND HIS BAND TOOK TO THE STAGE AT 8 AND
WENT FOR 90 MINUTES. HE HAS MANY HITS, HIS BIGGEST BEING "AMERICANA" AND HIS SECOND BIGGEST BEING "BANDY THE RODEO CLOWN". HE HAS HAD
A SHOW IN BRANSON FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS, BUT IS ON TOUR NOW UNTIL HE
STARTS UP AGAIN IN BRANSON IN MAY. I TALKED TO HIM AFTER THE SHOW AND GOT HIS NEWEST CD TO PLAY ON KMAQ.
QUITE A FEW OTHER PHOTOS I TOOK THIS WEEKEND BELOW. AS ALWAYS, CLICK-ON

  1. Who was once a bull hooking son of a [Am] gun
    Now [D] who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number [G]one
    Who was ridin high till a pretty girl rode him to the [Am]ground
    Any [D]kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy the rodeo [G]clown

    [G]In the ridin and the ropin I was closin in on number [Am]on
    Now in [D]dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never
    [G]won. Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo
    [Am]grounds, Where the [D]cowboys think I'm handy I'm Bandy the
    rodeo [G]clown.


    (Chorus)


    [C]I could ride em all
    [D]The bulls and the broncs knew I was [G]boss
    But the [A7]ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more
    Than this old cowboy's [D]bones.

    While the [G] tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a
    [Am] frown. The [D] crowd thinks I'm a dandy I'm Bandy the rodeo
    [G] clown


    (Repeat chorus and last verse to end)
