October 27, 2008 – Mel Tillis!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.27, 2008, under Caricatures, What\'s New?
We had a Republican Rally in Ocala this evening. I drew some caricatures in the reception area as of Danielle above.
Mel Tillis came out and gave of his time with his full band. I’ve been a fan of Tillis since I was a small fellow watching him during his appearances on the Carson Show. I still have cassette tapes of Tillis on the show. There’s one song he sang on his show that never appeared on his album and to this day still wonder why that happened.
Mel Tillis and his band had just performed in Branson and gave us the full show. I’ve wanted to see him in concert for years, make that decades now. Each time the opportunity arose, something would happen and I or we couldn’t make it. His performance was terrific!
Besides Mel’s great singing, these fiddlers were outstanding!
By the way, check out my friend, Jennifer’s, recent encounter with Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity in Tampa.

MEL TILLIS?
NO WAY! He’s so great!
(Doesn’t he have a daughter in music, too?)
Hope you had a good time!

So did you get to meet Tillis? Thanks for the plug. I was impressed with Palin, she’s sharp and refreshing.
