Dennis Yost, the lead singer of the Classics IV, took a serious fall and hit his head last July 11, 2006. He was flown by medi-copter to the emergency room at a local hospital with serious brain trauma. Since then, he has been in and out of a coma, treated at nine separate facilities, and has undergone extensive rehabilitation. During all this time the medical bills have been piling up and he and his wife Linda have exhausted all of their financial means.In order to provide some financial assistance to the Yosts, a benefit concert has been arranged for Sunday, March 25 in Cincinnati at Rhino's Live. Check out who is going to perform at this worthy benefit concert: Chuck Negron (formerly of Three Dog Night), Mark "Flo" Volman (The Turtles), Diamond Dave Somerville (The Diamonds), Gretchen Christopher (The Fleetwoods), Joey Molland (Badfinger), Otis Williams & The Charms, Troy Shondell, Larry Henley (The Newbeats), John Buck Wilkin (Ronny & The Daytonas), Denny Laine (Moody Blues & Wings), Frankie Ford, and other surprise guests.
In addition, there will be a silent auction of memorabilia donated by various artists. But they are still welcome more items. If you have some music memorabilia you'd like to donate, contact Linda Walker at 770-957-0768.
