Barnyard Opry welcomed and entertained 183 visitors tonight. The audience was treated to the musical guest talent of the
MUSIC BARN BAND of Polkville. The group’s diverse program provided something for everybody. Arvis and Ray’s nonsensical tunes about how one couple’s relationship was rooted in their mutual fondness for
snuff dippin’ and another’s, due to one partner’s snoring that resulted in their night time communication being carried out by
bumpin’ on the wall from separate rooms, left the audience with knee slappin’ laughter.
Jay and
Lloyd and
Floyd provided nostalgic moments with their renditions of

such songs as
All the Wagon Tracks Around the Church are Gone , Sing Me Back Home, and Cattle Call.
The Opry band,
Country Sound, led off the show with
Silver Threads and Golden Needles and a prayer of thanks for the blessing of the gathering and fellowship. Local guest artist,
Mike Hendrick, joined the band with some of Marty Robbins’ great hits, including
El Paso and
White Sport Coat. Band member solos included Rodney’s train medley, Ron, Bobby, Martin’s renditions of
Key Largo, This is Where the Cowboy Rides Away, Midnight Holler, and Steve (trying to prove he can still aggravate his Mom, Miss Barbara, just the way he probably did when he was a teenager) belted out
Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer. The visitors, knowing Miss Barbara for the dignified lady she is, always get a good laugh out of Steve’s nonsense. Throughout it all,
Dustin, always upbeat on drums, and
Ralph, with his endless tales about Boudreaux’s shenanigans, kept us clapping, toe tapping, humming and laughing. And they’ll do it all again first and third
Saturdays.
YA’LL COME !
