Dow if you haven't filled the 3:35 spot pencil me in. I can make it by then,

Hey Mike, I don't know how the western swing line ended up after your name, but I think I got it fixed now.
Looking forward to seeing you and hearing at our show.

Mike Sweeney · Post by **Mike Sweeney** » 9 Apr 2014 6:53 pm

Thanks. I like western swing and play a lot of it but I got a little worried because I hadn't prepared for that.

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 9 Apr 2014 6:57 pm

You can handle it, Mike!

Dave Flanagan · Post by **Dave Flanagan** » 10 Apr 2014 7:11 am

Mike:

I can't believe you would not be able to handle what ever came your way.

Dow Smith · Post by **Dow Smith** » 10 Apr 2014 7:24 am

Guys and Gals, I made a couple of adjustments to the schedule. Friday times moved a little between Rose Sinclair and Russ Hicks to give Russ a little more time to get here! Also Bill Dobkins, I inked you in for Thursday afternoon.

I'm ready to soak up a whole bucket full of TWANG!

Dan Burnham · Post by **Dan Burnham** » 15 Apr 2014 12:04 pm

Well,
It's getting close and I wanted to invite everyone to come by the BMI booth and the Vintage Vibe Room. We have a special artist that will be playing the amp in the room that weekend, but I won't tell, it's a surprise. I will say this, he played on the big stage in Dallas how's that?
Come on by and check out an awesome amp! You won't be disappointed,

Dan

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 15 Apr 2014 5:03 pm

Hey Larry, do you think your girl singer would let me feature her on a song or two?

Dan Burnham · Post by **Dan Burnham** » 15 Apr 2014 5:56 pm

Bill,
why did you give my secret away so early LOL

Larry Baker · Post by **Larry Baker** » 15 Apr 2014 6:16 pm

Dow, sadly, we are not going to make it again this year. Seems work is always getting in the way of pleasure. We appreciate the opportunity to play the show, maybe next year.

Roger, Jean would have been honored to work on your set. Don't forget us. Larry

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 15 Apr 2014 6:35 pm

Larry and Jean, sorry to hear that you guys won't be there. I always look forward to seeing you. It's been too long since I've gotten to back up my favorite girl singer.
