The
2007 Entertainers
were
Ricardo
Paz
Ricardo Paz, is our own local singing sensation. He's only 7 years old and has already performed in front of 14,000 people!
Ricardo recently cut his first CD ..... after just hours of his CD being
on air he'd received (actually his Dad received) several calls from record
companies having interest in signing Ricardo to their label.
Watch
for him on the KUBB Country Stage at 7 pm during our Costumed Cowboy
Karaoke on Friday Night. Careful though, he's so cute, his voice so
pure and sweet ....I've seen grown women cry when he performs.
Dave
Rainwater
Dave
Rainwater (aka 'Huckleberry The Hillbilly Fiddler' or 'Huckleberry of The West'.
Every now and then, an occasion calls for a fiddler with wild abandon. A fiddler
who will just simply play that darned thing with hoedowns and other frilly tunes.
Dave cuts loose as his alter ego 'cousin' Huckleberry. He'll stroll and come after
you as he croons (you can join in too !) Western melodies, old vaudevillian tunes
and Tin Pan Alley classics. He'll tap his toes and go off into flights of harmonica
fancies. He'll walk around like he's some PHD musicologist or folklorist with
anecdotal bits of American history and folklore. He plays from a repertoire too
numerous to mention. He says 'he's got a million of em'. He thinks he wrote that
line 'fiddling is like a box of chocolates ! You never know what you're gonna
get!' Huck has gained a large fan following in Tuolumne County having strolled
for several years now at Railtown 1897 in Jamestown on the steam trains and at
the 49er Chili Cook Off Festival in Groveland. He advises people that he is a
trained hillbilly expert and DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. He has been told on a number
of occasions that a young boy or girl has taken up the violin because of him!
He couldn't think of a better reward in this life....
Abraham Lincoln (16th President of the United States
of America) will have a field office set up at the Henry
Miller Wild West Weekend!
This
is a great opportunity to chat with Abe, have your photo taken, and learn
some very interesting facts you didn't know.
This
Pathway to the Past will include Abraham Lincoln, the National Parks
Service with their Quest for Freedom in the West (the story of the
Underground Railroad in California), the American Civil War Re-enactors
(both Union and Confederate) ----- who get along quite nicely these days) and the
Buffalo Soldiers
