Sorry I had to miss this show, I was suppose to play today but I have been having a terrible time with my feet and legs lately. As result of diabeties, the nerve endings in my feet are gone leaving my feet numb. I have been to a foot doctor but it looks as if the damage is done. My days of playing p...

I was really looking forward to playing at this show but as it turns out I have eye surgery on October 25th so I had to cancel. I am sure it will be a good show and I hope to be able to do it next time.

Woody will be missed. He was probally the best guitar player I ever worked with. I will be in prayer that God will comfort Rachel and his family in their great loss. Rest In Peace Woody.

Jerry Braswell has been one of my favorite singers for many years and he is also a good bass player. I knew him when he was just a teen. We went to Nashville about the same time. He has always been a good friend and a very talented musician.

I won't be playing either Bill. As they say in golf, I didn't make the cut. I will be there to support the show, it is always a great one. See you there.

Looking forward to this show and hearing Mike Johnson and Hank Corwin as well as the other fine steel players that will be there. This is always a good show and for a good cause. Wayne if there is a dance can I have the first dance.

I thought you sounded great. No need to apologize for anything. I am sorry you had an accident. I am glad you guys weren't hurt real bad. Hope to hear you play again soon.

Thanks JJ for the compliment. When Bill Ferguson asked me to fill in, I was a little leary because I didn't have my steel, picks or anything. Thanks to Jeff Surrett for letting me play one of the Sho-Pro guitars that he builds. It was a great guitar and it played and sounded so good. Thanks to Bill ...

Thomas Cases in Burlington, NC. These cases are very well built and reasonable. I just got one and I am very happy with it.

Russ & Laney,
So sorry to hear that Larry has lost his battle with cancer. I pray that God will comfort you in this difficult time.

Your Friend,
Charlie Vaughn

Really hate to hear this sad news/ I played steel for Bobby many times when he came to Atlanta. He was such a great singer and so much fun to be around. RIP Bobby. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
