Morgantown, West Virginia – Rich Rodriguez is wasting no time getting back into the swing of things during his second tenure as head football coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers as he took over the karaoke stage at Mountain Mama’s Sports Bar in downtown Morgantown.

“He was really belting it out, it was great,” said Ashley Williams—a Morgantown resident and karaoke veteran—via RingCentral remote meeting on Saturday morning, who witnessed the impromptu singing session.

“The other great part was, he really mixed up his voice types. So, he did a couple of renditions as a baritone—which is undoubtedly his natural singing pitch—but then he also knocked out a falsetto version! Which was amazing to witness live. People couldn’t get enough,” Williams said.

Did anyone ever get tired of hearing the John Denver classic? Not at all, said Williams.

“It’s timeless, and around here, it’s fundamental to life in Morgantown. You hear that song waiting on hold with the local electric company, you hear it in elevators, et cetera. We never even thought of changing it up,” Williams concluded.
