The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Savannah Bound-- Part 19: A Train Club Meeting and Ricky Skaggs

Thursday, April 4

We returned to their place and decided to go to a train club meeting to be held in Savannah at the Round House.  It was a bit of a museum and there were around fifteen people there who are train fanatics.

Julie had also come across two free tickets to see a concert in Savannah in an old theater.  The show was put on by a favorite country singer of mine, but also quite a bluegrass artist, Ricky Skaggs.

He had a whole slew of Top Ten and #1 hits from 1981 to 1989.  That included eleven #1s, two #2s and six Top Tens.  Now, that's some production.

Some of his hits:

"Crying My Heart Out Over You"

"I Don't Care"

"Heartbroke"

"I Wouldn't Change You If I Could"

"Highway 40 Blues"

He has a top notch band backing his as well and featured them singing and playing on some songs.  They were Country Thunder.

Unfortunately, he said this show was billed as a bluegrass show and that was what he only played, none of those great country songs.  But, what a show he put on and sure seemed to be enjoying himself.

Quite a Long Day.  --RoadDog
