New Year's Eve w/Con Hunley
If anyone happens to be in the Pigeon Forge area for New Year's Eve, I will be working again with Con Hunley. We are working a new venue this year which is the Music Road Hotel Convention Center. Of course, Con is one of the finest singers I have ever worked with, so believe me you won't be disappointed hearing him sing. Also, the band is first class all the way and some of the finest musicians in the area.
I hope to see some of you there.

Dear Pat,
I'm not sure what time the show starts, but I do know there are four acts all together. I am not sure either about the ticket price, but a friend of mine who is coming, said the price was $60.00, but of course every show is more on New Year's Eve. The phone number of the Music Road Hotel is: 865/429-7700.
I hope to see you there.

Yes Jim,
The first time I did a rehearsal with Con we did You've Still Got A Place In My Heart and I just about lost it. This was about 8 or 9 years ago and it blew me away as I had forgot that there were still some singers that had soul and feeling as this is very rare today. I have never played with a singer who had anymore soul than Con. To show you how Con is to work for, he sang with me in St. Louis at the Convention in 2001 and he let me pick the tunes for him to sing, and of course the above mentioned tune was in that list.

I have to second what Brother Herby says about Con Hunley. I backed him up in Texas about 20 years ago, and I remember being blown away by his singing and feeling "if Ray Charles was a white guy, he'd probably sing like Con Hunley." IMHO, he and T. Graham Brown are the best out there at that style. I wouldn't hesitate to go to that show if I was a Tennessee resident.

And theres his super style doing"no relief in sight" The only version other than Willie Rainsfords version worth listening to.Now get Curtis Potter and Johnny Bush added to the show and we will be there at any price even if it is an 9 hour drive..

Herby it was good to see you at the PSGA show in Ct. The Jagwires are everything they are said to be but I still can't play like you.
When Con sings "They Never Lost You", it just makes you feel like you know how he feels.
We're off New Years eve, but we have to work at Ballys in Atlantic City on Jan. 1 so it probably will just be the band bartenders and waitresses.
I wish we could be there with you, have a great show.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ben Lawson on 05 December 2004 at 06:01 PM.]</p></FONT>
