Here is my list in no particular order:

Brad Paisley - Funny, plus some great steel in there
Carrie Underwood - She's hot
Keith Urban - Great music

but they guys I play with are just fine, I like playing the local and any big name means travel.

There was a time when I dreamed of getting a gig with Linda Ronstadt or Emmylou Harris. Nowadays, I don't have a fantasy like that anymore. Maybe Diana Krall?

Lets See....

Drive By Truckers
Dale Watson
Bill Frisell
New Riders of the Purple Sage
Mark Knopfler

and since this is a dream ... we'd be opening for the Burrito Bros.

But I could only do the Japanese leg of the world tour, because I gotta rush back to Nashville and finish my duet album with Jerry Douglas

I'd be the steeler for the Robert Randolph Family band

twin steels!!! haha...or me and Robert could cut heads...I think I can take him

no no no...just a joke at my own expense.

Stones would be killer. Neil Young. Willie Nelson.
Really my dream is just to be up there with a good band...fame and fortune are things i stopped dreaming about after I got my very first job and got an inkling for how the world really worked.

Billy Walker was the best gig I ever had! Working with Ernest Tubb would also have been great!

I always wanted to be the front man for DOLLY, but I'd be happy to play behind her if she wanted me to.

I would sit in with Gordon Lightfoot and his band on "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". It is the PSG that defines the hauntingness of that song; it evokes sounds of the deep, and 'wind in the wires'.

Gord did a huge disservice to that song when he discontinued the use of the PSG. Ed Ringwald did an outstanding job on that song (I understand the final released recording was the first studio take) and thye rest of Gord's band is phenominal.

An unusual choice, but my only choice.
