A town in Missouri where careers go to die, lucratively. A combination of Las Vegas (minus the gambling and scantily clad dancers, for "family values" is Branson's middle name) and Nashville, many old-time entertainers have opened theatres there and play much golf when they're not on stage entertainin' the folk. Must-see names like Glen Campbell, Perry Como, Andy Williams, the late Boxcar Willie, Pat Boone, Roy Clark, Mel Tillis, etc. Ask yer Grandma; she'll recognize 'em.
