Bit of Nashville Comes to Fair
A Nashville show headed by Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius played Athens Wednesday night at the county fair. The crowd overflowed and welcomed the duo and their Gems backup group. Cornelius opened with lively crowd interaction before Brown delivered softer ballads and a notable duet set. Brown, with a long career since the 50s, and Cornelius, rising in the 1970s, drew strong audience praise. Later, a local police report noted a cherry bomb on a porch in Logan with damage and an attempted railing tear.
