Jim Owen Morning Show![]() Now appearing at the Branson Mall Music Theater, 2206 W Highway 76; located inside the Branson Mall. Jim Owen is back in 2010 with one of Branson's brightest--and--funniest!--morning shows. It's his 20th year in Branson! Festivities start at 10 am at the Branson Mall Music Theater, but arrive about 20 minutes early for a "question & answer" session with the man himself. Jim, the creator of a famed Emmy-winning PBS tribute to Hank Williams, also wrote "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" for Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, Mel Tillis's "Too Lonely Too Long," and many other classic country hits. Indeed, much of his show honors the best of real country music and its most memorable artists. His show features a tribute to a different Country legend every year (it's American country music singer Johnny Horton in 2010; this is the 50th anniversary of his passing), a lot of his hits, a couple of Patsy Cline songs by Lisa Layne (the best at doing Patsy's music), and he also features Kathy Eckert, Susan Burr and Gail Lennon as the Sunshine Express. Returning to the show for her third season is Jim's granddaughter Jasmyne Milheiser, a 15-year-old singing, dancing, tumbling phenomenon. She's fantastic! The rest is a showcase for the unique talents of Jim himself, who we think may be one of the funniest men, period, in the U.S.A. Click here to see Jim's performance of "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man." Good news: Jim's new location inside the Branson Mall features a flat parking lot with easy access to the theater. He'll be in Branson from May 11-31 & September 1 through December 4, 2010 at 10 am.
