Next Monday night come and dance to: "Diego"
Friday Entertainment
Get ready for a great show filled with talented guitar playing and the voice of an angel. (Daphne’s voice, not Dave’s.) Dave & Daphne are returning to Rio Valley Estates on Feb. 24th
Dave, who was lead guitarist for Barbara Mandell for seven years, was declared by Roy Clark to be “one of the most fabulous guitarists on the planet.” Dave makes songs like “Orange Blossom Special” and “Flight of the Bumblebee,” which are both difficult to play, look like child’s play. In addition to his skills as a guitarist, he is an accomplished vocalist, songwriter and humorist.
Daphne, whose father fondly referred to her as “The Mouth of the South,” has one of the greatest voices ever heard in the Rio Grande Valley—or anywhere else for that matter. She toured with the Gaither’s, one of the best-known gospel groups ever. She sang with the Florida Boys, the Cathedrals, Rex Nelon, the Hinsons, and many others. She was voted Female of the Year by the Southern Gospel Music Association.
Daphne’s voice has been referred to as a cross between Shania Twain and Patsy Cline and she is able to sing almost any kind of music. She also yodels like Patsy Montana. Her version of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” sends chills down the spine of the listener. Her renditions of “Amazing Grace” and “The Lord’s Prayer” are incredible.
Both Dave and Daphne give God credit for the enormous talent he gave them. They are truly two of the most talented entertainers to perform at Rio Valley Estates and should not be missed.
Here's the Newsletter from today...thanks Mary Lou

Remember last week when I asked ..
Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
No one came up with an answer for Donald Trump .. How about maybe this? Remember I'm not politikin .. I'm politichicken!!
Chicken couldn't cross the road because of a border fence!!
Well, enough of that foolishness! Going on to other jokes...
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?” The mother replied, “Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.” The child thought about this, then said, “So why is the groom wearing black?”
An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, “They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.”
Men wear their hair in 3 ways: parted, unparted, and departed.
