Subject: Going (all) out with a bang!

For their last porch shows before the Horseshoe re-opens on Friday, the Billys brought out 7 brothers. The gold team (Dennis, John M. (playing 1st fiddle), Kirk, Duane) were joined by new(ish) members Jonny Ray Bartel on bass, Mark (who also plays Clem and mayor in Laughingstock) on guitar, and John (from the Miner 49ers) on banjo.
Duane showed the crowd his trick fiddling, playing "Pop goes the weasel" in ways no one else can. John M. and Duane doubled the parts and played counterpoint on the fiddles. John (49er) rose to the challenge of playing "Orange blossom special" on banjo. Dennis and Kirk exchanged the mandolin and guitar at one point. Kirk even found himself in a hoedown with 4 enthusiastic young dancers.
Character is revealed more by what we do under difficult circumstances than by what we do when everything runs smoothly and those who turn problems into opportunities are the most notable. Over the past 10 days, even without a proper stage or sound equipment, the Billys showed both Disney management and guests why so many people admire the Billy Hill style.
