Sweet! A lot of positive things happening for Harley and Annabelle lately. Could be an interesting documentary. I've wondered what kind of effort is involved for them to do their bit. Always seems like they've done a tremendous amount of advance work (on very short notice) to make sure everyone in the group has a great time. And somehow they never miss the mark...having everyone pumped and all smiles when we leave. Looking forward to the dvd release party!

Hey! Great! What took so long? I've been haulin' tour groups to Harley and Annabelle's since 2003 and been wonderin' why they aren't splattered across the big screen yet but expected a movie instead of documentary. Ah well, it's a start!
Let me know when the release party is so I can be there!

Good for them!! They deserve the success they are enjoying after so many years of having to struggle. The most jealous people in town are likely those receiving crop subsidies.

GOOD! Maybe this documentary will help the people trying to thwart the Harley and Annabelle experience in Erick see what a boon to the community the Mediocre Music Makers have been, and can continue to be, if they will simply stop their bullying.

This is the kind of attitude that ensures that new ideas don't have a chance in Erick. That's why the sad little town will continue to dwindle away. Look in the mirror, Erick Person, if you wonder why nothing (except the Russells) succeeds in Erick.

People would want to watch a H & A documentry becauses the Russels are fun. They put on a very lively and unique show for guests. They have succeeded in building world-wide fame in the most unlikely of places, Erick, OK, without ever leaving town. They don't tour, they don't advertise. People come to them, in little ol' Erick, and they never disappoint their invited guests. The Russels spend many hours both practicing their music and preparing to make each tour group feel that they are the most important thing happening in the Russels lives, as they are at that time. Harley is a very accomplished guitarist, as well as an experienced entertainer. Annabelle is a sweet-natured, nurturing person with a great deal of artistic ability, as well as training in the arts. Both the Russels are highly intelligent and perceptive. They have "bloomed where they are planted" far beyond anything that could ever be expected to happen.

They are unusual, exceptionally talented and they work hard to do a good job. That's why people would be interested in a documentary about them.

Well, I was just in a conversation at the First American Bank where I heard that a company based out of Tulsa is coming to Erick to see Harley and Annabelle to film them in their shop.
They`re putting a theme park in Stroud very similar to Epcot Center in Florida and
they`re coming out to see Harley and Annabelle Russell to get some ideas.

How many reasons do you want?

Ah, you poor dumb redneck - writing in all caps to try to make yourself look important. I've been with Harley and Annabelle in Pucket's Grocery across the street from their shop when they've loaded up on sodas and food by the cart full. They pay their taxes and bills. They buy services from local individuals to help them with upkeep of their shop. And even though you won't let yourself believe it, their visitors spend their money in Erick too.

But I agree with you about one thing, they are a bit crazy...crazy from putting up with ignorant rednecks like you.

I too have witnessed Harley and Annabelle's patronage of local businesses: the grocery store, the hardware store & lumber yard, the pharmacy, the gas/convenience stores, local handymen and plumbers. What you may be seeing and having trouble analyzing, ERICK LOCAL, is how frugal Harley and Annabelle are. They don't spend their meager, hard-earned money on a whim. So careful there about accusing these two solid Erick Citizens of not spending their money in Erick. Even if Harley is the "TOWN J/K",(nice try on the leet speak there) thousands of tourists from all over this planet seem to differ with local opinion. Sounds like Harley has touched a very sore nerve deep within your psyche. You should seek professional anger management counseling to help you lighten up or you might just keel over from an aneurysm or massive heart attack the next time you hear those now world-famous words again: ERICK IS THE REDNECK CAPITOL OF THE WORLD!!!(even though Nashville proudly makes first claim to that title)

Anybody who knows the Russels at all know they walk across the street to buy groceries at Puckett's, buy gas in town, buy pretty much everything they need in Erick. How many other citizens can say the same? In addition, the Russels are the reason thousands of people a year come to Erick for entertainment. At least some of those people buy gas, food and hotel accomodations while in Erick. If every two citizens in Erick did as much for your little town as the Russels do, you wouldn't have to look any farther for success.

Harley & Annabelle are gracious and polite to anybody who is gracious and polite to them. Harley will defend himself when provoked. Nobody should blame him for that. And anybody who has EVER heard an unpleasant word from Annabelle is a rarity, if such a person even exists.

Yeah, Harley and Annabelle are just sitting around in their shop waiting for people to come in so they can be rude to them.

Hey every village has an idiot.
We happen to have two that are married to each other.
You can't miss them, they occasionally run around in red and white cover alls.
Or you can spot them riding their two seater bicycle.
