Having recently witnessed the Grand Finale Concert for Johnson County’s New Harmonies celebration I must confess certain optimism for the performance arts in the Western Missouri region. “Why?” You ask.
John Check, Tony Shaffer and I played at the Old Johnson County Courthouse on Friday, Oct. 23, as a part of the 90.9 The Bridge, Eclectic Cafe Concert series, hosted by Eddie Osborne. The series was in support of the New Harmonies Smithsonian exhibit at the Johnson County Historical Society. From my point of view it was a truly magical night.
It was Thursday night and I had nothing better to do. An Accapella group with a strange name, Tonic Sol-Fa was performing at Hendricks Hall on the UCM campus. Tonic Sol-Fa was billed as one of the hottest acts in the Midwest. As it turns out, I really didn’t have anything better to do as this was one of the best shows to come through “The Burg” in quite some time.
