Bucky Covington Coshocton County Fair Recap
2007-10-02 22:54:00 photo by KathyGEvery time I see Bucky Covington live I think... he will never top that. And then he does. Last night my husband and I (along with several other members of Bucky's fanclub) were on hand in Coshocton Ohio for Bucky's show. Weather was reported to stay at 76 and sunny..... but as it usually goes with Bucky in Ohio.... he couldn't stop the rain. A few smatterings of raindrops hit occasionally and then literally in an instant a downpour drenched us all. Even the instruments had mud splatters. Luckily there were no high winds or lightning to stop the show.Bucky did most of the tunes from his CD and the large crowd seemed to be enjoying every moment of it... even with the long delay due to power problems before the show. Guitarist Shaun Bayles should be called McGyver in my opinion as he struggled with his amps, and then finally came out with cords and a laptop and rigged up sound for a live show. Note to management... boy deserves a raise lol. See The Coshocton Tribune ...
