Johnny Cash Tribute
Saturday night saw our 6th annual Johnny Cash Tribute benefit here at CHS-Parkersburg. The event was held at 6 Pence Pub in Parkersburg. Kim, the owner, is a real gracious host to our events, and shows many acts of kind, thoughtfulness to us. We thank Woody Hupp for doing sound for the show. Woody is a local musician who does some open mikes around town, and is always supportive of live local music. The musicians who performed included: Randolph Ramsey, Steve Peck, Jeff Fox and Jimmy Clinton, Jonny Nutter and Aaron Whited and MaryMary. Then we had some "after hours" impromptu performances, including a "cutting edge" rendition of I Walk the Line accompanied by I-Phone, by Greg Oxley. We had a good turnout of fans, and lots of enthusiasm and support. We had good participation in some trivia contests and lots of good door prizes were won. We raised $930 for the Mid Town Family Resource Center from the event. As always, a great time was had, and it leaves us eagerly looking forward to the next event in the Americana Music Tribute Series, our Cajun/Chili cookoff, and Hank Williams Tribute, March 26th, also at 6 Pence Pub.
