My wife and I spent several days in Branson, MO and went to 2 great shows! 
The first 
was 'Legends' which had impersonators of Frank Sinatra, Carrie Underwood, The
Blues 
Brothers, Pat Benatar, and Elvis.

Each did a great job and each looked very similar to their respective
personalities.  I 
figured this show could not be beat, and then we went to another show the
following day 
on a showboat called 'The Branson Belle'.

This dinner cruise included a magician/emcee, a singing and dancing troupe,
and the 
food was well worth the cost of admission.

We saw the Heygoods.  I didn't think at first it could be better than the
Legends, but it 
was.  There were 5 brothers and 1 sister in the group, and each played several 
instruments.  We heard country, rock and roll, pop and more.  The vocal
harmonies were 
fantastic and the instrumental harmonies were as well.

There was one song where the female played the harp while 2 of the brothers
used their 
fiddle bow strings to play different notes on the harp at the same time.
Awesome!  They 
invented a guitar that had strings on the top to play bass, a normal guitar in
the middle 
and harp strings on the bottom.  So, 3 people were playing the 1 guitar at the
same 
time.  Never saw anything like that before.

This was our 2nd trip to Branson.  The first allowed us to see Andy Williams
before he 
died.  Branson is a great destination for entertainment.
