ON THE ROAD WITH THE EVERHARTS
“We left the beautiful Florida Lion Safari KOA RV park
where we heard lions roaring all night, to go to the Thompson RV Park
(built in an old avocado orchard) in Miami, to get ready for the big
show there.” Bob, Sheila, and Bobbie Lhea Everhart are on the road in
Florida, getting ready for a big benefit show for ‘Horse Country’ in
Miami. “We checked into the Thompson Park,” Bob continued, “which is
right next to the Miami Zoo. We woke up every morning to the loud
yowlings of Gibbons. Hey, what’s going on here?”

“Dad didn’t like waking up so early every morning,”
daughter Bobbie Lhea added, “but I loved it. We could hear all kinds of
jungle sounds, but mostly in the early hours. Dad was so brilliant
about a budget lunch too. He stopped at a Wendys, and believe it or not
we had a budget lunch for $12 that fed all three of us. We ordered off
the dollar menu. Dad had a baked potato, a bowl of chili and some
southern tea. I had chicken nuggets, fries, and a soft drink, and mom
had a Jr Bacon Cheese burger, fries and drink. I’m so proud of dad
cause I like this kind of budget lunch. While we were there, they were
installing a fire place in the Wendy’s. I guess they are going to put
fireplaces in all of them. How neat is that? According to the sign
they had up, “The hearth at home is a gathering place. It’s warm, it’s
comfortable, it says stay and relax.” According to dad, that’s what
old-time country music is all about.”

“We were all ready for the benefit show,” Sheila
added, “and it was a terrific experience for us. Completely sold out at
the German-American Club, we were so distressed at the absence of Jackie
Shewey. She went to the hospital with severe health problems. We
carried on, but we missed her. This was a terrific show with
intermission. There was ‘schnitzel and red cabbage’ for the diners, old
style German beer, and some terrific audience members who bought lots
of cd’s during intermission. The Mescher Bones received the most
rousing applause. They are so unique, three people doing bones in both
hands. Bernie Worrell is in this group, and she is also part of the
‘Horse Country’ folks that were there for the dinner, so they knew her,
and they really let Bernie know how much they liked what she and her
brother Jerry, and sister-in-law Sharon were doing. Lee Muller was also
on, and did a surprisingly good job. Rick & Harriette Andersen
also did a rousing job. Bobbie Lhea was so surprised when a little
oriental lady stopped at the CD table and told her she thought Harriette
was the funniest lady she had ever seen, and wanted to buy every CD
Harriette had ever made. Bob Keim on piano was a super backer, and the
star of the show Terry Smith had the audience in the palm of his hand.”

“The ‘Horse Country’ folks treated us so nice,” Bob
added. “They gave us all a huge free breakfast the next morning at the
Chuckwagon Restaurant, and they took us all down to see the Florida Keys
too. What a tremendously wonderful time we had performing and raising
some money for them.”

“Watch for a brand new video of one of Bob’s songs
“Dear Grand Ole Opry” Sheila added, it’s on the you-tube now. Just go
there and type in Bob’s name, you’ll be able to find this great song.”
