Randall was talking to the crowd before the show began. Lo and
behold, Parrish tripped and she and the entire cake landed on
the stage floor. Both Redding and Parrish ended up laughing
while the audience also broke out in a boisterous burst of laugh-
ter,” said Pesnell. “Another funny incident occurred last year
when Rhonda Vincent was waiting to go on stage and one of her
shoes got stuck in a floor vent. Parrish and I had to help Vincent
retrieve her shoe so she could perform with both shoes,” Pesnell
added.
The night of the Shedd Tribute, Chef Josh McCors-
ley took some food to Toby Keith’s bus to fill up the
refrigerator. “I just closed the cooler and Keith comes out of
the shower with a towel wrapped around him. It was a strange
moment but he loved my food and I gave him enough dinners
for the band to take on the road,” said McCorsley. Another
tale is when Mel Tillis had to go to Walmart because he left his
luggage at the airport. “I did not know that Tillis was putting
different clothes on and asking customers how this shirt looked
while people were taking pictures. I found out about the inci-
dent on Facebook at midnight…great memories for the town of
Bremen,” Parrish said.
“If you give the patrons great entertainment and food at a fair
price, they will spread the news about Mill Town. My friend,
Rhubarb Jones, told me if you will take care of the artists and
feed them well, they will come back and they have,” said Red-
ding. “God has really blessed us and continues to do so. My team
is as dedicated to serving the community as Tena and I are,”
Redding added.
The venue is in the middle of adding a dining room that will seat
60 people for a variety of uses plus two new bathrooms will soon
be installed in addition to acoustic sound baffles which will help
reduce any reverberation and airborne noise.
Recently, The Academy of Country Music implied that Mill
Town Music Hall will be nominated in the Small Venue Cat-
egory next season. Tour Busthe star-studded schedule that Mill
Town Music Hall has for 2016, the sixth year should be better
than the former 12 months.
