Lucas Ross bills himself as “the son of a beekeeper” from Minco, a small town south of El Reno, but many recognize him as a TV personality on Channel 4’s “Rise and Shine” morning program or local TV commericals. Tuesday night he was in Herod Hall with the Oklahoma Opry band, sharing his talent and humor that has made him, in his own words, “a D-list celebrity.” He is known nationally for his banjo skills and plays backup to the muppet Kermit the Frog. Tuesday, Ross shared humorous stories about his show business career between clips of some of his work. And, as promised in the title of his show, there was a lot of banjo music that included some honky-tonk by the late Oklahoman Roger Miller and novelty hits by country singer Ray Stevens. He also did his own version of some famous TV show theme songs like “Golden Girls.”
