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.

Lonely Blog

I have continued to blatantly neglect my lonely music blog. I PROMISE I will get back to it soon; with a little oomph of energy for new music postings. I will add some things about the Bill Toms coffee house coming up; some new reviews of music coming out that I will pick up. Reflections on Johnny Rivers Realization album. I will try to catch a Greens show here in the next few weeks; working around the Tuck family vacation in Michigan. Hang in there.

Greens last night at Fairplain Yacht Club in Ripley

Ventured down to Jackson County last night to see the Greens in a new venue. The unfamiliar confines of Jackson County. The Fairplain Yacht Club is a big room, well set up for live music/ dancing / convivial socializing. There is a big speedway/ dirt racing track right behind it, and the roar of the vehicles rises ever so often. We had our table full of Greens fan regulars, but otherwise it must have been the FYC crowd. I was only able to stay for the first set, so I'll wait to hear how the rest of the evening proceeded, but the Greens had a solid first set, breaking out Truck Stop Religion (written after a stop at the Go Mart there at Fairplain, just a half a mile from the venue).
