John Prine Tribute show review

We had a blast last night at the 7th annual Mid OHio Valley John Prine Birthday tribute here in Parkersburg. 8 musicians performed for almost 5 hours of solid, diverse songs celebrating John Prine's music and life. Things went smoothly with only the challenge of keeping all the musicians with a time slot they preferred to complicate my life!!! They are all very gracious, and dedicated to participating in this sort of benefit; we got lots of interest looking ahead to the Johnny Cash tribute in February already!!!
I'll do some more re-capping later, just wanted to get this first post in, thanking all the musicians, the sound guys, JT and Corey and Mike, and all the enthusiastic supporters who came out. Thanks to the wait staff at the 6 pence for a exhausting night of keeping up with the good size crowd. These events are great fun, get some good folks together, and keep momentum going that these events are worthwhile endeavors.
Thanks to: Matt Starcher, (especially for all his "lead up" enthusiasm for the event), Steve Peck, Gene Britton, Don Baker, Nick Barry, Jonny Nutter, and Greg Bailey who all performed great sets of inspired music!!! I hope some of them will tag onto this post, with their set lists or observations, but as I talk to them I'll get some further commentary. Blake took 4 hours of video footage, so we'll see if anything can come of that, for posting.
There were a lot of prizes given out, so hopefully people remember that fondly. On to the next events!!!!!!
