Last night, the legendary Ronnie Milsap performed live at the Midland Theater in Newark, Ohio. Milsap first hit the country charts over 40 years ago, and has collected an amazing 40 #1 records, mainly from the mid 70s thru late 80s. Now over 70 years old, this gifted vocalist continues to tour, release new music on occasion and keeps his fans entertained. Last night, was a great example of the showmanship of this great entertainer. The curtain opened with Ronnie, who was blind from birth, seated at the piano and he and his 5 piece band plus female background vocalist (pictured here), kicked off on a memory filled 80 minutes of music. Opening with "Prisoner of the Highway", Ronnie continued through a great set of songs including "There Ain't No Gettin' Over Me," "Any Day Now," "What a Difference You've Made In My Life", "Stranger In My House", and closing with "Smokey Mountain Rain". Although the voice has weathered through the years, and the high notes aren't there anymore, Milsap still provided a wonderful trip back in time.
