To some this means very little and as you will see, it doesn’t mean much to me either.
Entertainers from the Branson shows are nominated for the “best of 2016” list and in most cases, the recipients are well deserving of this nomination and eventual award.
Looking down the categories you will find included the following “best”-
Fiddle player
Lead Player
Bass Player
Instrumentalist
Tribute Artist
Vocal Duo
Matinee Show
Male Vocalist
Entertainer
Comedian
Drummer
Keyboard
Steel player
Production Show
Morning Show
Show of the Year
Female Vocalists
That all seems to be in order, until you run across this nominee category-
TRACK SHOW OF THE YEAR!
Remember the promo Branson used to sell “LIVE MUSIC CAPITOL OF THE WORLD”
Not only are the number of prerecorded tracks continuing to seep into the theaters, we now have a catagory for this substitute for live music!
TRACK SHOW OF THE YEAR! Give me a break!
If, on the other hand you would like to hear real, live music, come to our show, “The ALL HANDS ON DECK! Show” where everything you hear is performed by the entertainers and musicians live.

Tell your friends who may be visiting Branson and would like to hear music as was intended, see “The ALL HANDS ON DECK! Show” at the Dutton Theater this Fall.
