Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, November 28, 2013
Ahead on this Thanksgiving edition of Ozarks: music, shopping and a holiday cocktail. We find out how local businesses work to attract shoppers in the midst of the Black Friday weekend. For music, we talk to Fort Smith native Josiah Hawley about his career after being a finalist on NBC's The Voice and his homecoming concert this weekend. Plus, Rosanne Cash discusses the work on her father's childhood home in Arkansas and get a preview of Aaron Diehl's upcoming concert at Walton Arts Center. And our cocktail comes from a house in Fayetteville dedicated to creating unique drinks.
Here are our ten clips celebrating dance in honor of the NCAA's Big Dance: 1) Dancing Queen by Abba. 2) Al Pacino does the tango all the way to an Oscar in Scent of a Woman. 3) Marni Nixon provides the voice to Audrey Hepburn's celebration in My Fair Lady. 4) Gene Gene the Dancing Machine delights the audience on The Gong Show. 5) Uma Thurman and John Travolta debate in Pulp Fiction. 6) Chubby Checker launches a dance craze with The Twist. 7) Kevin Bacon makes the case for dancing in Footloose. 8) Los del Rio launches another dance craze with the Macarena. 9) Billy Elliot explains why he dances. 10) Gene Kelly ends the best (disagree?) dancing scene ever in Singing in the Rain. Apologies to: all those other dances, dance movies and dancing songs. Maybe next time.
