Dennis Eggerton will be our guest on April 9th as
The Richland Academy hosts “2d Wednesdays” With “Bob Cox
and Friends”

performance! Click this link to view them
The weather has been hinting at spring lately and I for
one am extremely happy. It’s nice to see rain instead of
snow for a change. I understand there can be more snow
coming. But, warm weather can’t be too far away. I’m
ready to play outside in weather like that pictured
above. In the picture is my good friend Dennis Eggerton
who will be joining us for another great performance on
Wednesday April 9th.
Dennis has been playing music for over forty years. He
is an excellent singer, songwriter and musician, a
triple threat as they say in Nashville. I have had the
pleasure of playing music with him for over ten years
now. He has been in many groups over the years including
Justus, EKG (with another of my friends, Dean Kastran)
and The Caffiends to name a few. He has played shows
with Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Kathy
Mattea, Restless Heart, Diamond Rio, and many others.
Dennis will be playing the entire two hours with us. He
will play and sing several of the songs he has written.
I believe he will also do a few songs with us on
mandolin. He will be joined by Randie Kilgore on bass
and harmonica, Brian Vanderpool on drums and percussion
and me on guitar. We will be doing an acoustic/electric
first set. Then we will step things up a bit for the
second set. There should also be a few surprises during
the evening as well.
We will be doing something new this month, too. We will
have a couple of items to raffle off. Randie Kilgore’s
wife Carla is donating a basket of Avon products. That
will make a great gift for someone. In addition, General
Manager, Mike Tepi of the Applebee’s Restaurant at I-71
and Rte 13 has donated a gift certificate for dinner at
his restaurant. .The money we take in from these two
raffles will go directly to the musicians who have been
playing for tips. Our musicians have traveled from
Columbus, Wooster, South Amherst, Ashland, Sandusky,
Willard, and Belleville in addition to Mansfield. So,
this is a great way to help support them. Of course, we
will still have the tip jar for anyone who would like to
support the musicians that way, too. I think this is a
good way to help the musicians with gas money without
charging admission to our performance.
.The atmosphere created by the room we play in is very
conducive to an intimate performance experience. We have
half a dozen tables that seat four to six people plus
additional seating above the musicians. The music is
played at a comfortable sound level. For the best
experience I recommend coming a bit early to ensure you
get a seat. We have had great support from our audiences
and the local media. Once again, I want to thank all of
you. So, please keep the 2d Wednesday of the month in
mind for Bob Cox and Friends at the Richland Academy.
Bring a friend, enjoy some live music during the middle
of the week and have some fun.
The performance is from 7:00 to 9:00 PM and is free to
the public. The Richland Academy is located at 75 N.
Walnut, on the corner of Walnut and 4th
Street in downtown Mansfield. Feel free to call the
Richland Academy 419-522-8224 or me, 419-543-0613 for
further information. We hope to see you there!

and workshopped at Playwright’s Horizon in New York
City. Over 75 World War II veterans, their
wives, husbands and families were interviewed for the
project, and their “voices” resonate throughout the
show.
The show combines eyewitness accounts of life on the
front lines and on the home front.
Sentimental Journey: Voices of World War II
delivers two dozen song hits and perfectly recaptures
the spirit, humor and heartbreak of America’s “Greatest
Generation.”
The cast includes singers, musicians and readers from
the area including Adena Williams, Jennifer Allen, Dirk
Eachus, Mark Stock, Joan Secrest, Virginia Imhoff, Bill
Cooper, Eric Snyder, Damian Boyd, Joseph Cole and Joshua
Cole. Musical Direction is by Marianne Cooper with
additional arrangements by Tom Croghan.
Some song selections are Sentimental Journey, I’ll be
Seeing You, In The Mood, Tuxedo Junction, Beat Me Daddy
Eight to the Bar and many more.
The show will be held in Don Brody Hall on Friday, April
25th and Saturday, April 26th at
8:00pm and Sunday, April 27th at 2:00pm. Tickets are
$12.00 per person with a cash bar available for the
