Cinema Paradiso meets Horse Opera

What a dear book! Also a little naughty. Reminds one of the stranger-comes-to-town lighthearted Westerns of the late 1960s and early 1970s. When Hoppy, an itinerant mountain "pitcher shower", takes on a high-voiced young lad as his apprentice, all sorts of unusual events ensue that grow downright Shakespearean in scope. Foul play robs him of his Hopalong Cassidy repertoire, leaving him with only the Bard's Midsummer Night's Dream to pacify the entertainment-starved masses. Mistaken identities run rampant and chaos -- and a truly excellent belly laugh -- rule the roost.

Great Pitcher!

This is one of the funniest pitcher shows I ever saw. Can't wait until Donald drives up in the truck again with yet another amazing pitcher show! Loved it, loved it....Thank you once again...
