![]() If you enjoy the old songs sung in a style we remember, you'll like Ralph Kuster. One of which was our own (and very young) Andy Williams. Well, Bing Crosby recorded that song with the help of a young quartet of brothers.the Williams Brothers. The lyric talks about how "You might grow up to be a mule.or a pig." Cute song from long ago. Remember the old song "Would You Like To Swing On A Star?" I'll be you do. I enjoyed Ralph's version of "Once Upon A Time" and Gene Kelly's "Singing In The Rain." And I learned some musical history Friday morning. Songs such as "Young At Heart", "Ramblin' Rose" and Perry Como's "And I Love You So."Īlso on the program is a couple of Eddie Arnold hits "You Don't Know Me" and "Make The World Go Away." Ralph is a pleasant fellow, dressed in a tux, who sings well and moves gracefully on sgage as he sings the old familiar songs of yesteryear. I visited Ralph Friday morning for a ninety minute presentation of some great old songs, as the show title suggests. One such show located here is a one-man show called "Fly Me To The Moon" featuring Ralph Kuster. Right across the hall is the Branson Hall of Fame Theater where some smaller shows can have an intimate gathering of their audiences. Bill Brooks used to joke that this theater was the only one in America with a Wal-Mart in the lobby. That one is the Branson Mall Music Theater. The larger of the two-theaters in the mall houses several shows daily and seats a few hundred. There are two theaters in the Branson Mall complex on Hwy 76, plus the Center Stage area where performers perform most of the day every day.

This article was amended on 27 November 2023. “Drug use and dependency is a health issue and should be treated as such.” “We know that the system still grossly impacts the vulnerable, and further changes must be explored and adopted,” she said. The Uniting NSW and ACT manager of advocacy, Emma Maiden, welcomed Branson’s input to bring attention to the issues facing people living with drug dependency. He said what had followed had been “incredible”, noting a number of reforms in the ACT and funding for treatment services in NSW. In his new push, he recalled the “energy in the room, the buzz and the excitement” when the Australian campaign was launched five years ago. The group, including members of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the nursing union and the Health Services Union, made its case after the deaths of two young revellers at a music festival just over a month ago.īranson has long spoken out about drug reforms. While the announcement was welcomed by many, it has not stopped pressure building on the government, with a coalition of peak health bodies last week warning that further lives could be lost if a drug testing trial was not introduced for the summer festival season. The proposal was a fall-back recommendation of the ice inquiry, led by Dan Howard, that called for the complete decriminalisation of drug possession in NSW. The government went to the election promising to hold a drug summit at which reforms would be discussed, but the premier, Chris Minns, has repeatedly refused to outline a timeframe other than saying it will happen in 2024.īranson’s plea comes after the government announced that people who are caught with small quantities of illicit drugs for personal use could be issued with fines that they can work off by seeking help as part of a drug law overhaul.

Branson’s plea is part of the Fair Treatment campaign started by the Uniting church in 2018, which has since grown to include more than 70 organisations calling for drug policy and treatment reform.īranson was part of the campaign’s launch five years ago in Sydney and is renewing his call, sending congratulations to “all those who have championed” changes since.
