Hi folks, I just wanted to stop in and say thanks to my good friend and great steel player Jay Andrews for helping me get back out and play my first gig in 5 years.
For those of you that don't know me I have been under the weather for quite a while. So this gig was definitely a good thing for me to do.
Without Jay's help and moral support I wouldn't have been able to go down on Broad to pick today. I sat in last Monday night with pretty much disastrous results as I'm sure you could imagine after no gigs in 5 years, but today was much better. I really had a great time and seen a lot of good long time friends.
Well anyway thanks Jay and I can't wait until the next time.
Watch out Smiley and Jan Jones you guys are next LOL  ) |

| For any of you out there who don't know Big Bob Martin (The Stratomaster) He's one of the nicest most decent and kind hearted players ever to tip a cold one up in Music City. One hell of a player and singer and all that with absolutly NO ego. Check him out if you get the chance, you'll be glad ya did. WC Edgar www.wcedgar.com |

| Hey Bob, glad to hear you are back at it!! I really enjoyed hearing you at Gabes years ago with Murph. I've cut way back too, just a couple nights a month, not like the old "Pork" days (he passed away last year). Next time I'm down there I'll have to look you up!! Take care and keep pickin!! |

Hey Dyke, it's good to hear from you. I hate to hear about Pork although I knew he had a few problems with his heart I didn't know that he had passed.
We sure had a lot of fun listening and jamming and you know what else ) with him. I remember your pink guitar was it a Peavey T-60 or a Strat? It's been so long I can't remember LOL. Come down and look me up I'll probably be down on Broad some where. If you want my number just email me at bigbob@comcast.net See ya soon.
Hey Bobby, I wish you could have been there too. I had a hoot and I'm going back for more ASAP. Hows the gig in Branson? Don't be surprised if you see me some day hollering BOBBY OH BOBBY Hee hee.... I miss our old days at Gabes. |
