The collective talent and artistic capacity of Branson's citizenry is amazing.

Branson Profiles is dedicated to celebrating and popularizing the folks that make Branson what it is today.
"I was pretty much white-headed by the time I was 35. When nature deals you that hand, it's only telling you one thing! You gotta be Santa."
— Greg Winters (Santa Claus)


"My whole family is born and raised in the Ozarks. Ozarks culture? I don't know. Just simple folks, I guess."
— Jamie Haage (Jim Dandy)


"If we just maintain our excellence, our standard of living and quality of life, I think Branson will continue to be an amazing place. It will still be clean and still be safe."
— Terry Wayne Sanders (Homer Lee)


"'As God is my witness, I'm no angel,' 'Cause you know, I'm not the devil, I'm not Jesus. I'm somewhere in between. For me to do that kind of song, it's got to be straight from the heart."
— Cedric Benoit


"I just fell in love with the place," he explains. "The thing was it was still like a country town. You go one mile from downtown and you're in the bushland — the woods, as you'd say." — Wayne Horsburgh of Australia
