I hear you and I also would enjoy a variety in entertainment but no one said life is fair especially in the entainment business. Do you know if what happens in the Villages Entertainment group, is it any different than how most booking agents work?? Paul Vesco is building his stable of quality entertainers who are then being employed by TV Entertainment Group. In regards to someone monopolizing and controling access to the squares, Thats just not the case for I can name a number of other Good entertainers who play the squares that are NOT part of the Paul Vesco group ie Rocky and the Rollers, Norman Lee, Scooter as well as others....so there is no monopoly. We do have to realize (and jerry does admit this point) that without The Village entertainment group their would be no nightly entertainment. If the entertainment was BAD ..no one would come,,,but I dont think that is the problem. Can things improve of course they can......but its not that bad now! Now can we name other local talent who we would like to see but for whatever reason TV Enteratinment Group does not sign them...sure we can but as in any business, the fact that you are good is not the only reason people or groups are hired.....or not. Now I saw in the paper today that a BIG anouncement was forth comming about the new square....BROWNWOOD. Once Brownwood comes alive, the demand for entertainment will incease by more than 30%. Most likely you will see less of the groups you see now in LSL or Spanish Springs, but I bet more of Paul Vesco newly formed groups.....and hopefully more outside groups! |

I record and publish a lot of The Villages entertainers, including [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyAOvfH5EFg"]Vesco's band.[/ame] They are good. It's my hobby. Don't know that I will get down to Katie Belle's on Jan 7th, but I'll keep an eye out for Bob. |

But, I miss [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDJTKIoCLBc"]Karen and Stan Hall[/ame] and Margo and the Rodeo, not Vesco clients. No one does "Bad Romance" better than Karen. Not even Cathy Merkel with Vesco, although I like Cathy doing it. I want to see [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuCIYFKQpSw"]Karen[/ame] and Margo, more often. |

Good points, well stated. Thankfully, Vesco does provide quality entertainment. It's a shame if other quality talent is being squeezed out by "insider" dealing. |

I am disappointed, however, that this blatant nepotism is not repudiated and restricted by the owner. |

Margo and Rodeo Drive just played and had a big write-up in the Daily Sun. As for Karen Hall, if I never have to see or hear her perform again it will be too soon. She's terrible IMHO.

I have no problem with the entertainment.Everything is fine with me. Do not know the facts and really do not care. Seems like a lot of nothing here. Enjoy, move on.

i couldn't agree more paulandjean, i think the vesco bands are among the best we have, if they had 13 bookings in December that's 20%, that leaves 80% for everyone else, and someone thinks this is an issue, ???????? not for me....gn
