Johnnie Cox will be playing steel with Connie Smith this Saturday, September 21 in Weatherford, TX (just west of Ft Worth a few miles). It will be at the Texas Opry Theatre in Weatherford with 2 shows -- 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. This is a 'steel players' dream as Connie Smith really appreciates the steel guitar...especially when the steel player is Johnnie Cox!!
I am envious of anyone who gets to hear them. Also, I would love to hear a duet between Connie Smith and George Jones.
Actually I would love to hear Connie Smith on a duet with anyone or alone. She is my alltime favourite female singer.
I think Connie Smith is one of the all time great pure country female singers. Her incredible country voice and Johnnie Cox's aggressive steel playing is going to make a super event of pure country music with lots of hot steel guitar.
Johnny my friend...I apologize for always spelling your name wrong!! Dolly(ie) told me to spell it this way! Pat Coyne is here and we're waiting for a fun weekend. The fridge is loaded with icecream. See you tomorrow.
Bill,no fair..that's all I can say..No fair at all..I asked Johnny if you guys could maybe take a picture and email it to me .Every one of you guys will be buying me ice cream in Dallas..you all owe me, so just bring extra money..I hope you all have a great time..Take care of my guy for me.

Hey Joan...I'm trusting a lot of steelplayers will come out to hear Johnny with Connie Smith in Weatherford, TX. Yes, we wish you were able to come and have a great time of music, fun and relaxation. We'll miss you but we'll take care of Johnny and leave some 'icecream' for your visit! The Simmons tribe and Pat Coyne.
Johnny's been needing a "break" for a long time, so this trip will be good for him. Next time, I think I'll stow away on the bus somewhere..should be lots of places to hide on those things. Maybe down there with the guitars and amps Tell "big brother" Pat I said "hey"..Have a great time..

I went to the concert it was great.One of the best four piece band I have ever heard.
If Connie Smith is ever in your city you really need to go to the show.
