Proud to be in Winterville
He may be best known for God Bless the USA, but Lee Greenwood’s written a few other songs.
Wind Beneath My Wings, for one, and another, Good to Great, that’s a hit with supporters of GOP candidate for governor Fred Smith.
Greenwood will perform the song he wrote for Smith along with others today during a noon rally at Wimpies oyster bar in Winterville.
A little extra effort is what it takes to go from good to great, the song says, a take on Smith’s autobiography, Good to Great.
Smith’s campaign mailed the book to voters throughout the region recently along with an invitation to attend the show, Smith’s chief of staff Jonathan Hill said today.
The Winterville show is the 11th in series of 17 across the state through which Hill says the campaign is reaching core supporters, conservatives who will help raise funds, distribute campaign signs and get out the vote.
The 90-minute show includes an entertaining conversation between Greenwood and Smith and a performance by Greenwood, Hill said.
The shows have been drawing enthusiastic support, Hill said. About 120 attended a lunch show in Goldsboro recently, 150 turned out in Henderson and 120 came out in Alamance County.
“This in a continuation of our grass-roots effort,” Hill said. “Through all of these rallies we will cover the state.”
The concerts are free but campaign organizers are asking for a $25 donation.
