Helping out Dennis

Also in need of some help: Dennis Yost, singer with 60s US hit act Classics IV. Yost suffered serious injuries last summer when he fell down concrete stairs and hit his head; with mounting debts and nursing home bills, some of his contemporaries visited Cincinnati to take part in a benefit gig at the weekend.

Various Moody Blues, Three Dog Night, the Bay City Rollers and others pitched up to help pitch in; indeed, the bill swelled so much that the gig lasted twelve hours. Yost was guest of honour at the event; although not well enough to be interviewed, he managed to tap his feet along with the music. And down the odd beer.
