Musicians with Ohio connections

[SLS]

I've enjoyed the Enjoy the Music thread. I though I'd try to narrow it down a bit. I used to hear this Cincinnati- area band at a bar called The Student Prince back in the mid to late sixties.

This is exactly how I'd expect a group called Zapp to sound.

Denzil "Dumpy" Rice, Hamilton OH, pianist and songwriter. He wrote (along with Troy Seals) "There's a Honky Angel Who'll Take Me Back in." It was a posthumous No.6 hit for Elvis after going to #1 for Conway Twitty on the country chart. Dumpy chain-smoked at most of his performances.

Pigmeat Jarrett: A contemporary of H-Bomb Ferguson, I only got to see him perform once. For a time he worked on riverboats on the Ohio River.
