Happy COOL Days of August! Yes COOL! Really!
08.01.12
Howdy friends & happy cool days of August! I can’t believe that it is really COOL so far ALL of the month of August, it’s almost Fall-like weather! This is my 33rd season to entertain here in Branson & so many other places, this year I have 9 jobs! REALLY! I love what I do for a living, so many people hate going to work & I can’t wait!
The GOOD News & the BAD News…
The GOOD news is my BIG ‘Homer Lee & Friends Reunion Show’ was a MAJOR success to all the fans who got to see it Sunday, August 26th at 3 PM at the Hamner-Barber Theatre! The BAD news is…
The show was SOLD OUT! Yes, I’m thrilled the response has been amazing to this 1-time only event. There will be a triple DVD available right here at Homerlee.com soon, so please check back in & get your order! Thank you to everyone who has made this show possible!
This was a one time-only show reuniting me (And many of my favorite characters) with some of my best friends in the business & in my life! Bob Leftridge is the ‘voice of the show’ as M.C., Barbara Fairchild, Clay Cooper, Doug Gabriel, The Braschlers, Tony Roi, cast members from ‘The Toby Show’, & many, many more. Almost 30 performers & some BIG surprises! An action-pack, fun-filled, entertainment extravaganza! Plus, we had a silent auction & 100% of the proceeds from that went to ‘Camp Quality’ – a camp for kids with cancer. We raised over 2,800! Thank you for joining us for the BEST show of the season & helping out a very worthy cause!
We’ll see you there for this once in a lifetime event!

Can you see me somewhere else?
Yes, you can! I’ve been an admirer of Joan Rivers since I first saw her on TV in the early 70′s! I started impersonating her when I was with The Braschler Music Show – that would have been around 1987 so… I still perform as her today – it’s the #1 character requested that I do. Long story-short, 2 years ago I flew to Minneapolis, MN. (Thanks to QVC & my sister, Jennifer) & spent the day with her. A film crew that had been following her for over 1 year was with her. They found out about my affiliation with Joan so I am in the new documentary called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work’. It is rated R for strong adult language, but it is a real look into the life of the hardest working person in show business!
Joan signed, “Dear Terry – Great to see you again – Joan Rivers”Speaking of hard working women…
My wife Dede, is a Realtor & you can reach her at dedesanders1.com for ALL your Real Estate needs!

I am always humbled & flattered by those who stop to say, “Hey Homer Lee!” either here or at one of my jobs. Thanks for your love & support over these 33 years. It means so much to me & my family, especially at Christmas time with your cards & letters.
God bless you & yours!
Always,
Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders
