Ring in the New Year with Yodeling Dick

On Tuesday January 3 at noon, Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library will welcome back a true American original. Known only to a select few, Richard Bruce Morriale (aka Yodeling Dick Brooks) has been composing, performing, and recording music for over sixty years. Heard over various radio stations in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Colorado, Arizona and West Virginia as a singer, announcer, and D.J., Mr. Brooks will offer a “one-man folk festival,” featuring as many musical instruments as he can bring for a variety of selections, including original songs and interesting commentary. The Famous Baristas of New Martinsville called him “An American Original,” Marty Stuart presented him as “The Real Deal,” and Jay Leno referred to him as “West Virginia’s Best Kept Secret.” Now you can find out why. Ring in the New Year with Yodeling Dick’s “Feast of Sounds.” Lunch With Books programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are invited to bring a bag lunch and free beverages are provided. Please call the library at 304-232-0244 for more information.
