djsamuel 322 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 This weekend, my wife and I were sitting on the porch at Trails End when a banjo player came around playing for people. He sat down at our table. It was very enjoyable, and, I thought, a nice touch. Here is a video http://youtu.be/LFiZlTOv9i8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 One time he asked if I had any requests. I said "Yeah. How about playing someplace else?" djsamuel, Tri-Circle-D and DaveInTN 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is the banjo player a Castmember? I don't see a name tag on him. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is the banjo player a Castmember? I don't see a name tag on him. TCD We asked him the same thing. Apparently his had just broken, and they were in the process of getting him one. His name was Chris, and management told him it was going to say Cowboy Chris. He used to work the cruise line, and now had something to do with Hoop De Doo Revue. Had some really nice cowboy boots on. People next to us mentioned that he had different boots on the previous day. He was asking people if they were going to see the show and if they had checked in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, Chris from Orlando? I've heard of him/her. He must be one of the musicians who accompany the HDDR. I've never seen any of them performing outside of Pioneer Hall. Isn't it verboten for CM's to be "on stage" without a name tag? Which is why you see so many Chris from Orlando nametags. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCDNormally, yes. I am wondering if in this case, he was sent out on the porch to entertain and to get people interested in the show. Given that he is normally entertaining inside, not having a nametag wouldn't be an issue. When he was telling us that management was getting him a new nametag, he implied that it was a bit of a "high priority". So I guess people realized he no longer had a nametag after they had him go outside. In any case, I found it a nice change, and he was very nice and friendly. People seemed to really enjoy him walking around and playing/singing for them. At the many locations my wife has worked over the years, they've had a box of old nametags of various names for people to use if they were missing theirs. I have to admit, I missed the reference to the generic Chris name when he mentioned they were going to have his nametag say, "Cowboy Chris". I was more interested in his banjo playing. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 But..... I've noticed entertainers and street performers usually aren't wearing nametags, so I wouldn't have thought anything of it. djsamuel 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
