While most of the big names only perform at the big US Military installations while they’re on USO or MWR overseas tours, Penny Gilley was one of the few who appeared at the Scudbuster on Suwon Air Base, to the delight of some very appreciative soldiers (such as myself) and airmen. Having met Penny on three separate occasions, I could almost say I know her personally. Above is an interview she did last April for KOLR TV in Springfield, Missouri, about her shows at the newly-opened RFD theater in Branson.
