Don’t get Blain Swabb wrong – don’t misunderstand what he’s saying. Blain loves Ohio. It’s where he and his brother Brian were born and raised – and still live – in Greenville, Ohio near Dayton.
Blain is quick to praise the virtues of spring, summer and fall in Southwest Ohio, where the seasons are completely different.
Then there’s winter – and that’s why Blain and Brian, identical twin entertainers known as “Spittin’ Image” are in Florida right now and will soon be making their way to Valley for the second straight year with 20 performances in 30 days.
