Hey Brandin,
Thanks for the heads up on the Kevin Banford gig. Thanks for having me sit in for you in Arizona, I enjoyed playing with them.

SGF Pros-
Kevin Banford is a class-act country singer/writer with a majorly strong voice. The band is all pro, big clean sound, and very talented. All are decent folks with good humor. Jeff (the guitar player) told me with a straight face that all I had to do on the original tunes was cover "the tops and the solos". I had never heard the songs so... with a nervous smile I said "no problem" (Eeek!). Sort of got even with Jeff on one original tune when the bass player, Bob, was telling me the number changes during a solo and I sailed through it. Jeff looked at me like "Hey wait a minute"

Keep an eye on Kevin and the gang, they are working hard and sound very good. Thanks again

Craig Mann

Craig, If you played In Flgstaff you must have played the Zoo. I just happened to be there one Sunday afternoon (many years ago) when Rod Hart auditioned for a job playing there.

I've played quite a few gigs with Kevin and I'm glad someone's finally giving him a shout. He's certainly true to his love of Bakersfield-type music. I don't think he plays anything post 1965. Kevin's really a strong vocalist, great guys in the group, and fun songs to play. Every steelers dream. (except for the pay)
