tuck's music journal

I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.

Friday mish mash

Went to see the Beatles tribute at the Smoot theater last night; trying to support others such efforts. It was a full crowd; very diverse demographics of the audience- an appreciative crew. The show was nice- Roger Shepherd had put together a video that played at the set changes- had some of the folks performing reflect on the impact of the Beatles- lots of familiar local music faces performed- gave some pretty energetic efforts- I liked Todd Burge's and Marci Stanley's duet on across the universe about the best.
Stopped in at the Wheel House to check in with a little more than a week to go before the woody fest- dropped off some t-shirts to sell leading up to the event. Had another article in the Free Time today with a Woody picture. Dropped in at the Front Row, too, in anticipation of tonight's greens show there. Looking for Bill Poole; but he wasn't there.
Aiming for a musicians get together tuesday night (in preparation for the woody guthrie tribute saturday- just to see what songs folks are thinking of playing- making a few connections for back up instrumentalists, etc.
I got encouragement to start the show off with Hard Travelin' - so I'll be working on that one, if nobody else bites.
