Entertainment Ave! The Concert Hall - A concert review of Neal McCoy at The Star Plaza Theatre - Merrillville, IN - ... (679 words)
Nope, Neal mixes a little bit of comedy, a little bit of seriousness, and a lot of bit of fun into his hour and a half performance.
Well, Neal spotlighted them all in a "band-intro" set that for all intensive purposes was too long - that is if it wasn't for the fact this was probably one of the freshest band introductions I have seen - I guess that's really why I have to comment on it.
Neal is one of those artists that has the radio hits but sometimes falls into that "I didn't know he sang that song" category.
Neal H. McCoy (1043 words)
Neal McCoy was fond of saying, with a twinkle in his eye, "I was born in Oklahoma Territory!" That was on March 6, 1905, two years before Oklahoma became our 46th state.
When Neal was a year and half old, his father died, and Neal's mother, Susan McCoy, determined that her two children should receive as much education as she could arrange, moved the family from the farm in Oklahoma to the tiny town of Chesapeake MO, within walking distance of a one-room schoolhouse.
Neal had an unquenchable thirst for learning, and throughout grade school it irked him that his sister, Dorothy, one year older, and one year ahead of him in school, was learning things that he wasn't.
