Page 40--Show Madia Group 1981 Fair Guide Features at the fair WOODSTOCK -- Tommy Cash looked out at the darkening skies, his brown eyes reflecting the musical road he had chosen years before. He was now ready to take the next step toward the per­ fection of the communication he generates to his fellow man through song. He spoke of the hard times and the good times; the devoted parents who gave enough love to more than com­ pensate for the luxuries he lacked in his formative years; the successes and the failures that have gone to make up the Tommy Cash of today ... the Tommy Cash who is a very alive person ... and very much of a man! A quick smile touched his lips just as the sun broke through the clouds out­ side, and Cash spoke of the fans who have always been there, "and I'm grateful to all," Cash said. Cash's love of music and sports was part and parcel of his growing up. With ft DJ'S LIQUORS 24-12 OZ. PEPSI, DIET PEPSI. COKE TUB. 7-UP, DIET 7-UP.RCS DIET RITE |49 i-MOZ.

U.S. Route 14 North (815) 943-4461 Harvard, IL 60033 an Arkansas-Tennessee background, he was a star basketball player in high school in Memphis, Tenn., and he stays in top physical shape by indulging his leisure time in such sports as golf and water skiing. Cash is good-looking, smartly groomed, affable, warm and yet reticent enough to add a fascinating mystique to himself as a performer. Cash has a spark of spontaneity in his manner, and a smooth style of singing that moves from the emotionally in­ tense to the lyrical simplicity of rollicking joy. Cash has proven his unique talent through such hits as "Six White Hor­ ses," "Listen, Rise, and Shine," "So This Is Love," "I'm Gonna Write a ' Song," "Working on a Feeling," "Roller Coaster Ride," "The Cowboy and the Lady," "There's More to Her Than Meets the Eye," "Reach Out," "Take My Love To Rita," "That Certain One" and "One Song Away." Cash runs a tight ship, and when Tommy Cash and his Tomcats step on stage, every move and every lilting melody is perfection plus, and yet is performed with a naturalness that brings the audience into their magic ring of enthusiastic "togetherness." The Cash entourage has logged an enviable track record in the areas of concerts, television appearances, commercials, recording and club shows on the Nevada circuit Cash has been featured in the world famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and had guested on the "Mike Douglas Show," "David Frost Show," "Hee Haw," "Johnny Cash Show," "Merv Griffin Show," "Jerry Vale" and was included on a special guest spot at the Wembley Country Music Festival in London, England. He has played innumerable fair dates and performed in such far away places as Germany,' Belgium, Italy, Greece, Turkey ... and our 50th state, Hawaii. While serving his country in the U.S. Army, Cash gained a lot of popularity as a disc jockey with the American Forces Network in Europe. He took advantage of his well-earned popularity Tommy Cash to begin live performing, and used his expertise as a spinner of records to make his own recording and per­ forming more brilliant. He has it all together, a top-notch band, song-writing, publishing (Tomcat Music, administered by Tree In­ ternational on Nashville's famed Music Row), touring, recording, and sharing his great talent. The Tomcats add the "icing on the cake" for Tommy's' shows. The ultimate compliment to any artist is contained in a story told about Cash at (me of his appearances: This singer of songs said to a multitude of fans who packed the Coliseum where he and his Tomcats were appearing, "You are wonderful friends, and I don't know what I would do without you!" And as he spoke, they seemed to forget all their cares, and they went away singing Tommy Cash songs; and the songs were heard by friends, neigh­ bors, and associates, who caught the refrain and sang also, and the world was happier because Cash had told the story of love in a song.
