It all began as a way to entertain those who
often need a little joy in their lives.
Randy (Embro) and Friends (his
ventriloquist dummies), accustomed to
visiting -seniors' homes, will be on hand to
amuse and entice giggles from spectators at
this year's Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion
and Hobby Show.
After health problems left Embro with a lot
of time at home, he decided to use his
musical talents and humour, taking his 18
friends to seniors' homes and nursing homes.
Though he had previously spent some time
providing' entertainment for children, his
show is now decidedly for an older set.
Among the characterizations brought to
life by his friends are Laurel and Hardy,
Charlie McCarthy. Ed Sullivan and W.C.
Fields, definitely from another era.
Embro also sings old songs, recalling
memories of long-forgotten tunes for the
audience.
These too arc geared for an older
generation and he and his dummies perform
songs from Louis Armstrong. Elvis and even
Willie Nelson.
"(The audience) often has tears in their
eyes," he says. "Happy tears as they
remember the love songs.-
He also loves to personalize his
performahces, getting to know the names of
some of the spectators and incorporating
them into his show.
Embro is truly looking forward to his visit
to Blyth for the Thresher Reunion and hopes
he can connect with his viewers.
His one-hour show begins Friday, Sept. 6 at
1 p.m on the Main Stage.
