Maryville native returns to town bringing music, laughs and entertainment to residents Monday, June 11, at Oak Pointe Assisted Living.

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Barb Biffle performed Monday, June 11, at Oak Pointe Assisted Living in Maryville.

She played several instruments including banjo, guitar, the nose flute, a stick with bottle caps attached and more.

Singing songs such as: “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” “How Much is that Doggy in the Window?” and “Old Susannah,” Biffle managed to have the crowd singing along at tapping its feet. She even performed a few songs she had written, a humorous song about colonoscopies, and a rap music song about a pesky serpent and the need for good dental hygiene.

Now living in Nebraska, Biffle told the crowd she grew up on Fourth Street here in Maryville. She told The Maryville Forum later, that she had a nice time driving around “all my old haunts,” seeing all the changes.
