Johnny Cash Tribute show @ Morningside Services Club











On Saturday October 8th i went to the Morningside Services Club to see the Johnny Cash Tribute Show which was put together by lori Lee cash who runs rockabily shows around Brisbane. this show has been going since 2004 which had been in the valley and when i saw on the Internet that it was going to be @ the morningside Services Club i was so glad that it was going to be there as it's close to home for me anyway. the show started @ 8.30pm with Mean Eyed Cats with Dan Dualtones, Jon Flynn and Mark Stephens did 2 songs and would be the back up band for the performers of the night and for the first set Junior(the Jim Rockfords), Paddy and Theresa sang 3 or 4 Johnny cash songs which they were Excellent and there was an interval where I bought an juice to drink. in the 2nd set Paulie, CHUCKY and Michael performed an excellent set of Johnny cash which the interesting thing about Chucky's set was that he did'nt know some of the words of the songs which he an piece of paper with him and Michael wore the black gear and an a hat but he wore an white shirt and also there was an interval which I bought an packet of chips and juice. In the last set had Mitchy, Emma and Pony and when Emma came on stage her and Mitchy performed Jackson as an tribute to Walter's sister who passed away an few weeks ago which they excellent performance. I left at 11.30pm as Dad picked me up just as Doug Wilshire came on stage and the show was just FANTASTIC which the performers did an FANTASTIC job doing the Johnny Cash songs as well as the back up band Mean Eyed Cats who were FANTASTIC playing great with excellent guitar plying by Dan. I saw Lori,Sheri,Walter, Laura, Bettie, Tracy, theresa and Karen and I would like to thank Lori for putting it together so an job well done which i look forward to the next Johnny Cash tribute next year.
