barclay had a gig last night at harry's country club down in the river market. after he finished playing, i was sitting with some friends, and we realized that our shirts were all variations on the same color (which, coincidentally, happened to match our napkins...).
to which i responded "we're like the mandrell sisters!"
and they all said, "who?"
"THE MANDRELL SISTERS, people!!! you know, barbara, louise, and irlene? they had a variety show in the 80s and their outfits were variations on one another. they all played different instruments - i remember irline played the drums"
no luck.
"i mean, i've heard of barbara mandrell..." "barclay, have you ever heard of the mandrell sisters?"
"who?"
oh good lord...
"are you sure you're not making this up?"
so to prove my own lucidity, as well as serve you a proper introduction to the sisters mandrell, here you go.
i'll bet these people have never watched designing women, either...

I loved the Mandrell sisters and think it is absolutely crazy that people you associate with up in KC don't have a clue who they are.
The Mandrell Sisters are the ones that finally made my mom start forcing us to wear seatbelts... Remember when they all got in that serious car accident? Man... At the time, I really liked watching their show. As a kid, the entertainment was priceless. But, after the seatbelt thing... I don't know if I ever appreciated them quite the same. I mean... The ruined everything!
