COSHOCTON – The Sammy Kershaw concert at the Coshocton County Fair had the grandstand packed and brought people to town from out of state.
Juanita Frizzell and Lucille Pulver drove up from Moundsville, W.Va. for the concert.
Pulver said this is the shortest distance they’ve come for a concert and Frizzell said he’s been her favorite since the first time she heard him sing on the radio.
“I really like ‘The Middle’ and ‘Yard Sale’ but really I just love all his songs,” Frizzell said. “If you went out to my vehicle right now you’d find a Sammy Kershaw CD.”
Over the years Frizzell has been able to get back stage passes to Kershaw concerts, get his autograph and have her picture taken with him. She also is friends with his piano player on Facebook.
“We’ve been talking for about a year and today we got to meet,” Frizzell said. “He’s a wonderful person.”
Amy Moran also has always liked Sammy Kershsaw.
“He’s one of my favorites,” she said. “He’s in my CD player in my kitchen and I rock out to him.”
Bill and Mel Maple enjoy country music and were glad to see the fair once again bring someone in to entertain that people knew.
Concerts also are an activity that the couple can enjoy together.
“Since he went blind listening to music is something he can still do,” Mel said.
