Don't worry Sam, it's still a full month away. By then you might have moved again.

Jim you might be right. If we move again it will be back to maine where it is Beautiful just like here. But we love it here and the taxes are cheap. Have a nice brick home Two large bed rooms two full Baths Large Living room with Kitchen and Dinning area and 1/2 acea of land for $80,000.00 and the taxes are $208.16 a year. Gasoline is $2.22.9
per gallon. Now try to beat that.

Frank,Has this show every year and one thing is you never know who will pop in. When i was in that area I always made a point to make it to his show. Bill Hankey who ran the Mass bash would always inform us when Franks show would be on. Now that Bill Hankey has retired from promoting show Franks show in Waltham is keeping the fire burning.Frank asked me to be a part of the show when I ran into him in St. Louis. But I won't be coming from the furthest away.Red Kilby will be coming from Colorado I believe. He ran out of CD's in St. Louis but I'll bet he reloaded and folks its great one. Along with Red doing his original writings are some of the best Bakersfield sounds along with Lloyd recreating and adding to his hit background music he original did on the Charley Pride hit "Crystal Chandelier". This CD with the likes of Lloyd Green,Ralph "Moon" Mooney Jerry Brinkman and Dicky Overby doing the steel work and Reds vocals is pure Country. This stuff is hard to find nowadays. And Al Briscoe is simply one of the best and coming from Canada where he was a mainstay on those great TV country shows.Al in St. Louis put on as usual one of the best shows and brought with him a great band. Folks this should be a great day of Country music the way it should be.

I got lost last year Chris so I'll have your number this time. Of course I had the world famous Smiley Roberts last year as a co Pilot do I need say more.

Although I truly will miss him coming up with me but he has a 50th class reunion two weeks later up there. Can you Imagine 50 years since he got out of the 4th grade.

Man he's getting along in years ain't he.

Bump. Hey there Red, 10 days away and counting. Just talked to Frankie and he was very exited about the show. Wonder if Al Brisco will have Steve with him? With Jim Cohen also trekking up Mike Ihde working with him and all of the great Steelers from that area (and there are many)I'm excited too.

Joe Casey · Post by **Joe Casey** » 7 Oct 2006 6:19 pm
