Unexpected ordeal
According to Jody Grant, programming and marketing director for the Alberta Bair Theater in Billings, the medical personnel utilized a defibrillator and delivered CPR on Cornish before he was transported to a healthcare facility. Cornish was performing with Rascal organist Felix Cavaliere.
Both Cornish and Cavaliere completed the first song of a concert and Cavaliere started to play one of the 1960’s hits of the band, “A Beautiful Morning” when Cornish collapsed on stage.
