Thanks from Mike Johnson

Post by Mike Johnson »

On our drive back to Nashville, Mark, Regina, Joanie and I never quit talking about how much fun we had at the convention and how nice all the folks were to us. It was great to see and visit with old friends and meet so many new ones. The Peavey Room was a blast thanks to Mike Brown, along with Russ Hicks and Jim Hartley. As for the "Big Stage", what an honor it was to play there, thanks Scotty. We all agreed that Leona Williams was the icing on the cake.

Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome.

Sincerely, Mike Johnson

Thank you for letting me be a small part of that. I hope to see you next year. My best to you and yours. Loveya pal, Bobby
