Do you still have Franklin #3?
And do you ever get tired of them calling you Mikey?

Hey Mike, were you Tammy's steel player when she did a show at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk with the Virginia Symphony around the early to middle nineties? I remember one of the female backup singers did a great version of "Piece of My Heart" and the band really nailed the arrangement. That must have been a great experience working with a Symphony Orchestra.
I was in the local opening group "The Buck Fisher Band". That was a great venue for a concert as the acoustics were so great.........JH in Va.

Where do I start? Thanks, D Dogg; it was a true dream. She was terrific.
The name of the band was "The Country Gentlemen."
I was with her from May of 1980 through October of 1987. That was Rusty Pence after me. Before me was Sonny Curtis. We were the only steelists she had.
Theresa, I figured you'd like the guitar...
Damir, yes, we need to do that...

Mikey : I agree with all the above members of the Forum; you are great; especially your work with Tammy. I see you a couple of times with Billy Walker up in Sandstone, Minn, I believe it was/ Not only do you play a fine steel but you're fabulous on the Harmonica. Thamks for sharing those clips of Tammy with us. Surely bring back many memories of the good Country Music Days; right?? Are you working with any one in particular these days, Mickey ?
Bernie

Bernie, yes, I have Sandstone pics with Billy... I sure do miss him. He was so great to work with. They all were.
I don't travel with anybody regularly, I'm pretty much just a studio slug. I do the occasional date with a young gal, Laura Bryna, now and then. This coming Sunday, the 12th, I'll be in Chicago for a couple hours doing some big festival show with another young up and comer, Megan Nicole. It should be fun; it better be!
