I think "Queen Of The Silver Dollor" was on Emmylou Harris' first album, its great. He also wrote children's stories & poems..I think he also drew cartoons..very talented guy

Puckett's Farm Equipment in Charlotte,the definitive American beer joint.... http://www.amagickgarden.com/puckettsfarmequip.html

I hope to visit the GOO sometime, but I really waant to hit the "out of the way' spots. ___________________________________________ "I venture to guess that the singers in the "pubs" you visited were younger people singing the kind of commercial modern pop country music they have...

Speaking of the Warner Brothers Country Rock stable, was Mason Profit on the same label? I I can remember, they were pretty good...anyone kept up with them?

..just a note..a while back, we had Buddy Cage with The Brookly Cowboys here...after set up, Buddy hung around..ended up befriending Bob, one of the 'old geezers' who had served in Korea..they sat around, drank sodas & talked electronics, early radar, 1950's jet planes & Buddy's rig...in sho...

Ok, all Charlotte area Joe Smith fans, Joe will performing Friday February 14, and Saturday February 15 at Puckett's Farm Equipment. Friday he will be with his variety band JUKE BOX HEROS, and Saturday, he will be with the Swingsters THE STRAGGLERS. Its a great place to see & hear Joe.. http://w...

Joe Smith fans can catch Joe with his Swing ensemble, The Stragglers this Saturday, Jan 18th at Puckett's Farm Equipment here in Charlotte. Plenty of Bob Wills, Merle & Buck tunes along with the big band jazz material Joe does so well... http://www.amagickgarden.com/puckettsfarmequip.html

OK,all you Joe Smith fans, Joe & his band The Stragglers will bring their brand of swing & jazz to Puckett's Farm Equipment in Charlotte, Saturday, November 23. The last time they were there, they blew the doors off the joint! http://www.amagickgarden.com/puckettsfarmequip.html

Buddy's gear was very unique. His amp & speakers had been part of the Dead's "wall of sound". Altough it showed many years of road duty, his rig had some pretty historical & sentimental value to it... who can replace a piece of musical history?

Dang, 'scuse me fellows, I should have said we don't get enough pro players at Puckett's! A guy named Jim Austin sat in whith David Childers Saturday night, plus fiddle player Bill Hicks or The Red Clay Ramlers and blew the doors off the joint. Yall know him? Hope they both comes back... http://davi...

I'm looking forward to meeting you there, make sure Joe points me out to you. Have you heard his swing band The Stragglers? Great stuff.....

With the exception of Joe Smith, we don't get enough pro pedal steelers in Charlotte often enough. Buddy Cage & The Brooklyn Cowboys will be in Charlotte on Thursday April 18 at Puckett's Farm Equipment...Hope to see some of you there.

In a previous post, I asked help with my Sessions 400 amp. This evening, I turned it on and low and behold it sounds fine! Really! Perhaps the pots were so dirty, and it took overnight for the Deoxit D-5 to soak in and clean the crud from them. Thanks to all!

Thanks for the inputs. I went through the verious things mentioned (it does not have the patchs). Hosed it down with the Deoxit D-5, but alas, it still sounds pretty ill. Should it go back to Peavey? Or to a local dealer?

My Peavey Sessions 400 amp sounds like it is breaking up...sorta like the tremelo is on, but it's not.....like a tube is going, 'cept it aint got tubes...like it's battery is low. 'cept it aint got one. Know what I mean? Anyone out there with any tips?

I always get freezes & crashes, they say they will credit my account, but never do. I need to change too.

Hey Mike, until about 20 years ago, you could buy an Oliver tractor at Puckett's. They are located in Derita which at one time was a little farming community, but has long since been eaten up up by a sprawling Charlotte. They started serving beer about that time, and still have their old customers. ...

I am now booking bands for a club here in Charlotte NC. It's a great spot called Puckett's Farm Equipment. Friday nights have been real good with Americana/Blues?Country bands, some local some reginal acts. Anyone who might be swinging thru this area, let me know. Send press kit/CDs to: Dave Long 12...

Hey Mike, I noticed that you have a Guild Ashbory bass...does it sound like a fretless bass? Are the strings nylon? What's it sound like? I've always seen them, but never had my paws on one....

Seems I remember Charlie Daniels producing The Youngbloods and others of that era. Was he a house producer for Columbia? Anyone know his early credits?

I'm starting to shop around for an amp and think I want something small and easy to tote. I have read on the forum that the Nash-400 are the way to go for my first one, but was wondering if there are some smaller ones that will do well in small venues. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Whoa! Just found this subject. I was a big Pentangle fan, wore the grooves off all their albums, Basket Of Light, Sweet Child and my favorite, Jack O'Ryan and others.., Collected their solo stuff too. When all around me were listening to Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, I was digging Bert & John. They ...

OK, my next piece of gear is going to be a volume pedal, and by the threads in the Forum, I believe that there are several brands that would work for me. Do these volume pedals work with a string? Sorta like a fan belt or a chain/belt on a motorcycle? Do the strings break and is this something you m...

Certain artist have the ability to paint a picture with their lyrics and music and take the listener to far away places. Tyson’s canvass depict scenes of the Great Plains, vast regions of snow capped Canadian Rockies, the northern prairies of North America and they people who live there, all exotic ...

Im a big Ian Tyson fan. I got the chance to hear him in Chapel Hill a few years ago. His music paints a picture! Are there any Canadian folks ou there who like him as much as I do?
