and Mike Price.

The Jammin' For Japan event served as the grand opening of the all new Tokyo American Club.

Mr. Bill Steber of the Jake Leg Stompers, who is also one of the leaders of the JERICHO ROAD SHOW was brought in from Nashville, especially for this show, along with Lisle Wilkerson and "Speech".

All of the performers took to the stage at the end of the night and joined in together to sing, "You've Got A Friend In Me"; "I Shall Not Be Moved" and "Jesus On The Mainline".

The JERICHO ROAD was especially pleased to share the stage with SPEECH where we had the chance to join him on a Jammin' For Japan version of his hit, "TENNESSEE".

We took the stage, "Walked the Dog" and sent two dancers to the emergency room with our rendition of the Hank Williams favorite, "HEY GOOD LOOKIN'" which is on our "BIG DELTA CROSSING" CD.
