Bremen dun had the best dad gum idear for all the kinfolk to get back in touch wit our hillbilly missoura roots and go see the musical 'Big River'.
ok I can't talk like that anymore :) but it was fun for just a sec.
The sibos went to the Grand Theatre in Salt Lake to see this production last Saturday night. I remember seeing it under the stars at Kansas City's Starlight Theatre when I was little. We had the Record Album that had this picture on the cover and I remember jamming out to this music during all of my childhood. We really are hillbillies.
It's the story of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, and a runaway slave named Jim. Some of the music is silly and some is beautiful and touching. The story teaches principles of true friendship, the worth of a soul, and how our conscience is sometimes more correct than what society says is right. I would encourage everyone to see this musical if you get a chance!
...ARKansas, ARKansas, I just love 'ol ARKansas!

I'm crying. come see me.
huck finn is one of my favorite books. and we sang one of the songs from that musical in a choir i was in. good story, heather.
Too bad we're not from Arkansas- what a great theme song that would be! I loved going to see this and thanks to Bremen for the idea and the awesome soundtrack CD. It was way fun and good job on the hillbilly lingo, Mags!
