DFW Steelman needs a country honky tonk band to play in

David Biggers · Post by **David Biggers** » 24 Oct 2007 6:05 am

Our band, loose change, is looking to completly change thier venue and moving to the more modern progressive country sound.
They will not be in need of a steel guitar for this venue.
Even if if they did I would not want to play this type of music anyway.
It will be heavy rock distorted guitar and keyboards.
Although I wish them all the luck in the world I wish this had been expressed a year ago when other groups were pursueing me for thier bands.
Oh well....a lesson learned
I am availible in the DFW area for Friday and Saturday night gigs if a traditional country band is looking for a steel man.
I am no where near or close to the best steel man in DFW but I have been told that I'm pretty good buy my some of my peers.
Still learning somthing new everyday.........
Thanks again
I can be reached at the following number......
(469) 688-3339 work cell

David, I posted an ad some time back in the Jobs Section about the Gatlin Mcadoo Band needing a steel player.

I think his guitar player who is learning steel is doubling on both during the night.

If you haven't already talked to him you might give him a call. They only work fri-sat nights 2-3 weekends a month and play a mix of top forty and traditional. Gatlin loves steel and will let you wear it out...lol

Gatlin's number is 903-574-5762

Secondly,I play with the Coby Mcdonald Band around Dallas and sometimes I need a fill in on weeknights now and then.

If that's something you'd like to consider,we are playing at WW Fairfields in Richardson this week (Wed-Sat) where you could come listen and let me know what you think.

Talked to the Texas T band and Vicki Gatling with Sourthern Rains
Both are interested as soon as they have gigs to play in.
I also talked to Dennis Kent with The Texas T Band as of yesterday but they are not booked again untill Thanksgiving weekend in Farrar Texas. I will be out of town in Wichita, Kansas with my family that weekend.
Still looking for a pickup gig or two somewhere.
If anyone needs a weekend off or a night off call me....
I play guitar and also sing harmony.
I have my own mic, and anything else I need.
Thanks

Well..........
Really nothing changed as I see it.
I am still playing quite a lot but not with the same band. I am looking for a steady 2 or 3 weekends a month with the same band. I would like to stay in the DFW area. I have driven as far as 85 miles for $75.00. I would rather not if possible.
I can play some of the old-new stuff like LeeAnn Womack, Dixies Chickens, George Strait, Alan Jackson and most of the older stuff that I have heard.
Merle, Buck, so forth.
Email me if anyone knows of anything.
Like I said I ain't no where near as good as some of you guys but I think I can hold my own in a honky tonk band. I played last week with a member frommy old group Loose Change, Jerry Cook.
Jerry filled in for a lead guy that went to GA... I was also filling in for the steel man. Boy I sure do miss those guys. They miss me too, Jerry said, and I guess I am kinda happy about that. They are all great musicians.
Let me know and thanks....

WOW! Jimmy
Great web site and even greater history you guys have had. I can't believe you guys. So much experience. You guys must be in big demand in the Northeast.

Here is a picture of me at the Famous Stagecoach Ballroom in Ft Worth Texas with Babara Ford & Loose Change.

Mosey on down to our little part of the world when you can and stay piece.

HA! allways wanted to say that!

I am a born again Texan!
There is no place like it anywhere in this big old world.

Go oversea and ask a person from Nevada where he is from and he will tell you he is from the USA or the states.
A Texan if ask if he is from the states will tell you flat, NO SIR! I'm from Texas.

Hope you can make it to the Dallas Steel Show. I would love to meet you guys.
David

Nice website. I was suprised to see you guys are from NYC :-) Fooled me at first, thought you were real Texans. Reminds me of the Bud Moffett Band back in the 80's.... a great bunch of guys with a great sound.
