I thought your playing was Great! It complimented the Band just right in my opinion.
Everyone should get a chance to play with a Band like that at least once in their lifetime!

Shades of the old Spade Cooley band at Santa Monica pier. Who is this band ? Were the Brass and Reed sections playing from charts. Who was the arranger ?
I really enjoyed these is videos. What was the occasion ?

Billy
His name is Dave Alexander... www.davealexander.com He is very well known here in Texas.. He does the charts, I highly recommend his CDs, Maurice Anderson is on most of them, and Dave was on Maurice's CD Steel & Brass, which is the very best of Maurice's work , in my option..

Thanks Bill & Marcel, & Ron it was such a fun gig...

Texas Music, can't beat it~~!!
Russ, Lucky Dog??? you bet ya!!!

This is great...

Nice! Great playing by you as always. Great tone also. I see you used the Walker cabinets. You'll be really happy with them. If Maurice has the whole Walker rig, borrow it and take it out on a job. Think that you'll really like it. Hope you get to play with these guys from time to time as you fit like a glove with them. BIG shoes to fill for sure.
