York City, Ronnie Dawson, High Noon, Lisa Pankratz and manager, Josh Arnson, loaded up their van with freshly printed Carnegie Hall Tour T-Shirts and hit the road!

One of their early stops was in my home town of Columbus, Ohio, on May 5, 1994. The fact that it was only six days after the Carnegie Hall show was something I had not readily remembered either. Anyway, back in New York I had asked Ronnie and his band members to come to my studio while in town and I would shoot some footage of them for my film, 'Tear It Up!: The Rockabilly Documentary'. Everyone seemed open to the idea and I headed back to Ohio to prepare for their arrival.

Back home at my studio, I threw together a stageMencher's back and forth lead guitar play with Ronnie's lead playing is awesome. Shaun Young, who really shined on stage during Ronnie's live shows, can be heard here strummin' some great acoustic guitar rhythm. Kevin Smith on slappin' upright bass and Lisa Pankratz on drums, are possibly the best back beat duo I've ever heard!

Throughout May and June of 1994, the Carnegie Hall Tour continued with shows in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Louisiana, Texas and elsewhere. On June 25th, Ronnie, High Noon and Lisa, performed at the 2nd Annual Rockabilly Rebel Weekend festival which took place in James Dean's hometown of Fairmount, Indiana, and in nearby Marion, Indiana. I and my large crew of two were in attendance as well, shooting film of the various bands and conducting some interviews
