If any of you saw the Mike and Mike show in St. Louis, you know what a treat you're in for. If you didn't see it, by all means catch it here. I'm pretty hard to impress with stuff like this, but they literally knocked my socks off.
On the way to last nights gig, I listened to the CD with the Mike and Mike show from St. Louis. It reminded me of why this was my favorite part of the show and why I'm so excited about having them be with us. This is gonna be a goodun.
Heck Mike, it is downhill from Nashville to Atlanta, so just "slide" on down.
We are all ready for this great show. If you have not been to one of our GaSGA shows, you would be in for a treat.
Everyone that walks in the door is treated like family.
Besides, for the February show, where else can you see Mike Sweeney and Mike Siler, PLUS Cowboy Eddie Long and Bill Ferguson, TOGETHER?

Can't get much sweeter.
I'm on board; wouldn't miss it for anything. I always enjoy being Emcee for these shows; one of my favorite gigs!! Lots of top name talent and great friends and fellowship. It doesn't get any better than the Peach Jams!!!
I backed a guest singer last night that wanted to do "For The Good Times" Jamie Johnson style. He asked me if I could play it like Jamie's steel man did. Well, uh.....NO! Nobody can but Cowboy.
I will most certainly be there. Where else can you hear this much fine music in one day?
This will be my third attendance, and I can hardly wait.
I will be bringing my brother-in-law who is not a player, but looks forward to this all year (he reminds me).
He is terminal with Leukemia, but as he say's "I will be there if I don't die first".
Thanks to all who work so hard to put this together.
Keep on pickin.

I can't make it because I got booked, I get released on Feb. 16th. Just kidding, I have to play at a college here in N.J. The promo info says it is students that are performing so apparently they know how I play and hired me anyway.
When we do get down to Ga. we'll be pulling our 35' travel trailer so we can park it on to the Ferguson estate and put out our pink flamingos and run a clothes line and set up my plastic pool.
