The Story:  The "Pump Boys" sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry
country and the "Dinettes", Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp
diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs
that received unanimous raves on and off-Broadway. With heartbreak and
hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils.

character based on ability.)

easy-going. A guy you'd be comfortable listening to all night. Co-owner and
