Looks like the Ramona, CA gig got axed? Bummer! Might look into traveling to one of the others.

Make sure you guys say hello if you make it to a gig. I am always happy to show off Todd's steels. Get in touch via email if you want to spend some quality time with a Clinesmith. There may be some time before the show or something.

The only thing I ask is to cut me a little slack if I have somehow managed to get a good looking woman to talk with me.

Celphone internet !

Jon Hyde · Post by **Jon Hyde** » 12 Jul 2009 3:48 pm

IF? I mean what better way to meet good looking women than to play a vintage repro steel guitar!?!

Either way, I'm certainly hoping to make it out and hear you play Friday in Seattle!

Bill Hampton · Post by **Bill Hampton** » 13 Jul 2009 6:05 am

What a great show last night!! Sorry I didn't get to talk to you Bob, but you really had that Clinesmith sounding good

The other three bands were very good as well. Mad Max and the Wild Ones are great sounding family band (could use a steel though).
I had not heard Ethyl and the Regulars before -- they put on a really good show with some nice sounding pedal steel.
Halden Wofford was super as usual. Brett Billings really makes that Fender sound good!!

Thanks again to all four bands for the great entertainment. I had to be at work @6:30 AM this morning, so I'm kinda dragging -- but it was worth it.

I'd love to see you all come back to Kansas City sometime.

Bob ,
Thanks for showing off the steel. Looks like we'll be making the Portland OR show.
Gad you are enjoying it and look forward to seeing you and the band

Nice meeting you in Grand Juction, Bob - enjoyed your playing and conversation. The Clinesmith is just a beautiful piece of work and your playing certainly shows it off well. Brett's '65 Twin didn't hurt your sound one bit neither!

Bill H - glad you liked Ethyl and the Regulars. Come see us in Denver some time and say hey.

Bob Hoffnar · Post by **Bob Hoffnar** » 16 Jul 2009 11:41 pm

John,
We have a New Years gig at Knucklehead's in KC this year.

Pretty much everything we have confirmed is on Wayne's myspace page. As the pending shows get confirmed they get put up there.

Jon Hyde · Post by **Jon Hyde** » 18 Jul 2009 10:57 pm

Great meeting and hearing you in Seattle Bob! Thanks for the heads up - that Clinesmith is killer!

Bob, I see Fargo, North Dakota is conspicuously absent on your tour. It ain't like the movie.... nothing to fear. Just joking, have a great time.

Come on down! steve t

Hey, Bob, really enjoyed your Atlanta show. That Clinesmith is a great sounding axe.

Michael Papenburg · Post by **Michael Papenburg** » 19 Jul 2009 9:17 am

I just noticed that one of your gigs is in Oakland which is where I live. I just wrote it on my calendar and will do my best to attend.

Bob Hoffnar · Post by **Bob Hoffnar** » 19 Jul 2009 11:37 pm

I just picked up a beautiful lapsteel from Todd you guys are welcome to check out.

Bob Hoffnar · Post by **Bob Hoffnar** » 20 Jul 2009 9:15 pm

Todd and I in front of his shop in Oregon.

John McClung · Post by **John McClung** » 21 Jul 2009 8:19 am

Bob, I'll see you at one of the LA venues depending on my rehearsals schedule. Looking forward to hearing you play non-pedal and checking out the Clinesmiths!

I visited with you briefly several years ago when you played the Troubador in Santa Monica with Hem. What are they up to?

Bob Hoffnar · Post by **Bob Hoffnar** » 26 Jul 2009 6:46 am

San Jose tonight !

Lee Jefferies sat in on a few tunes at the Oakland gig and ate my lunch. He was great.

John, say hey at the show if you make it. I'm not sure what Hem is up to. Whatever it is I'm sure that it involves a bunch of meetings.

Its been really good to meet everybody on the tour. Thanks to all you steel playing fellas for showing up.
