CHAMP HOOD AND WALTER HYATT
 

South Carolina ***  Texas ***  Tennessee

In 2002, 3 tribute shows took place in 3 different states, which span the distance of half of the United States.
The quality of musicianship, friends, and family  involved in all three shows is a true testament to the
quality of people Champ Hood  and  Watler Hyatt were, and of the love that they spread to
everyone that they met.
