Traditional Country Music Foundation, Inc Tribute To The Legends “You Be The Star” Opera House Anson, Texas Saturday May 5, 2007 The show was a sell out, not even standing room Saturday night. They brought chairs in and lined up along the outer walls of the opera House. The show went on for 3 hours, the people
did NOT want it to end. Rudy Grant as Charley Pride, got sick and could barely talk when he called to tell me he would not be able to make the show. The artists that performed were, Sam Allen (Patsy Cline) Mary McDonald (Kitty Wells) She even plays the guitar as Kitty did. Mary Lee Vinson (Anne Murray) Willie Luster (Hank Williams Sr,) Had his son with him playing a fantastic fiddle on those Hank songs Danny Letz from Anson, played the steel guitar for us, and he too added a lot to the Hank songs as well as the other songs. They looked and sounded so much like the artists they portrayed it gave ya chills. Johnny Moore was happy to be playing in his hometown and he too did a great job. He has his nephew Kenny Moore with him playing some lead and rthym guitar. When we got all the artists the performed and those that auditioned, but did not get to be on the show on stage for the finale of....I Saw The Light...with Willie Luster (Hank Williams) leading it off, we got a standing ovation!!! The folks in Anson want to make this a yearly show!!! Several folks told us we need to take that show on the road. So far everyone wants to go for it.
