Sweet article. Love to read P.J.'s stuff. Love hearing all the good stuff about Harley and Annabelle too but I bet a year's salary the Mediocre Music makers humbly disagree with P.J.'s rating them No. 1 in the state.

Hey this is not surprising in the least. I've ridden the entire length of the mother road many times and the Mediocre Music Makers are tops for me ANY WHERE ON ROUTE 66!

Great to hear! Comments like yours make it even clearer that the petty people in Erick who are critical of the Russells are really missing out on an exciting and unusual experience.

Their loss, but wish they would lay off the mean and untruthful comments.

Congratulations to Harley and AnnaBelle - you deserve the recognition especially in light of what you have had to put up with over the years in the "Redneck Capital of the World"!

Our trip across America this spring would not have been complete without meeting Harley and Annabelle and seeing their amazing Sandhills Curiosity Shop.

Congratulations for being rated #1!

It's a joy to hear these comments from visitors, even though nobody from here except Harley & Annabelle deserve an iota of credit for anything good. H & A do all the wonderful things they do in spite of the jealous spiteful people in this community. Your support must be great for keeping their spirits up.

Reading the several forums about the Russells shows they must be doing everything right.

Anytime everybody who speaks has such strong feelings about them, that shows Harley and Annabelle are really something very special.

The people passing through who see Harley & Annabelle recognize their intelligence, their talent, their hard work, their energy, their knowledge about what is entertaining.

Anybody who reads the praise for the Russells that comes in from all over the world knows that Harley & Annabelle are about as far from backward as you can possibly get.

It's their critics who shock visitors, who can hardly believe there are actually people in Erick who don't understand and appreciate the work the Russells do.

It is comments just like this that that show The World that people in this community are "that backwards". Unbelievable, just unbelievable.
You and others who post similar comments just show your ignorance and give further proof that Erick is indeed THE REDNECK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! Unbelievable, just unbelievable and you don't even know what I'm talking about. Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

Maybe Harley wouldn't have come up with his award-winning, world-famous comedy act about rednecks if he hadn't been in a place where so many rednecks say and do such goofy things, and often!
