Benefit concert a great success I would like to express my thanks and great appreciation to all the people who gave of their time and donated financially to the benefit concert for Lee Youngblood held Nov. 20 at Junction City Arts Center. Because of all of your efforts, our success far exceeded expectations. Not only were we able to purchase a beautiful new guitar for Lee, but we were also able to donate funds to offset the cost of utilities to Junction City Arts Center. (see Nov. lAMed.) For those in attendance it was an evening to remember for years to come. The reunion of Powder Ridge opened the show-to the delight of everyone. We have missed their music and chemistry for the past year, and hope they will be able to perform together again soon. The duo, CZ Rose, was next to play. Their tight harmonies and tasteful guitar work blended well. Their choice of songs gave all musical tastes something to enjoy. The excitement in the air could be felt by everyone as the show continued, knowing Lee hac! no idea of the real reason we were there. Between each of the four acts, refresh-ments were served as the set was changed for the next group. My thanks again to those of you who made cookies and brought coffee, soda and punch. The good folks of Thunder Lake Sound provided the sound equipment for the evening as their donation to the cause. The warm acoustic atmosphere they provided for each act enhanced the evening immensely. Done Gone was next to perform. Their blend of Irish and Scottish reels and jigs, were played with precision. As each player took a lead break, the others offered tasteful backup. Their total set complemented the ambiance of the evening. Lee sat in the front row of the audience, awaiting his turn to perform, with no knowledg~ of what was to come. Now it was time for Leeway to come on stage. All eyes and ears were on Lee as he added his magical touch to the group's songs. His ability to make his plywood guitar sing left us with no doubt of his great talent. The band invited the audience to participate with them on several numbers and by the end of their set, has us in the continued next page 12 Intermountain Acoustic Musician, December 1993 |
