Tommy Rynick is a name in country music that we have known for years. At one time, the group sang under the name of Tommy Rynick & Betty Jo, and often had the help of daughters Danielle and the Country Travelers.

At the MusicFest, June 28, 2003, Tommy was joined by

• Elmer Hunter, 84, from Shickshinny Lake, playing the guitar. That is Elmer sporting the wheeled chariot.

• Ray Kinley on the steel guitar.

• Jack Michael, bass guitar

• Dave Reedy, drums.

• "Zip" Zeiser, vocals.

Tommy's mother sat during the entire concert and was reminded from the stage that Tommy "was the only hell that Mother ever raised."

Tommy, now 62, lives in Briggsville.
