Paul Revere will Return to MOON RIVER THEATRE






Hi friends,


We are so excited about our new 2010 contract at Andy Williams Moon River Theater in Branson, Mo.


Paul Revere and The Raiders will be doing our full length fun show next season, just like the good 'ol days with groups like The Comets as the opening act.




Bill & McKenna Medley will be performing down the street at The Starlight Theater and we will miss them alot. The Raiders will still be performing as Bill's "road band" for special concerts outside of Branson.






This is a real win, win for us all. We are looking forward to having a great time here next year and will continue to have a blast here in Branson, Mo at Andy Williams Moon River Theater.






Please pass the word and we'll look for ya next year!






Sincerely,

Ron Foos

Andy Williams tells of Hard Times Early In His Career


Branson crooner ANDY WILLIAMS was so broke during the early days of his career, he stored his suit in a meat locker to keep it fresh. The MOON RIVER hitmaker travelled to New York to launch a solo career in the early 1950s after his siblings ended their Williams Brothers quartet. But he fell on hard times as he performed on the Big Apple's nightclub circuit - and developed a unique way of saving money on his laundry bills.


He tells U.K. TV show This Morning, "When I went to New York, I was really struggling. I didn't have any money and I realised that I couldn't sit down in my clothes if I'm going to do three shows a night, so I stood up all the time. There was sometimes a meat locker, so I would hang my suit up in the meat locker and shiver there until the next show. And then when I put on my suit it looked kind of good. It was crisp! It was a little chilly though."
