bill, i really hate to say this, but with the schedule changes that have already been made and due to the surguries that i have had in the last four years, we are going to just bow out, hope you have a great show and we will surely miss being there....jack and martha

Danny Harrell · Post by **Danny Harrell** » 27 Oct 2019 5:21 pm

My friend Tommy Huff will be there with several amps and cabinets. For those not familiar with Tommy, he builds a great light weight cabinet that sounds good and easy to tote. I have two of his cabs, our guitar player has two, and my friend Wilburn Stewart, who is also performing at Gulfport has two. Check Tommy out at the Gulfport show. He is a super guy and has great products and stands behind what he sells.

Bill Stafford put on a great show in Gulfport,MS. I met a lot of old friends and made some new ones! Just by chance my Boss Ronnie Milsap played at the IP Casio in Biloxi, MS on Nov 1 so I was able to to get a ride with good friend Doug Hall to the show at a early time as I had to be back to the IP Casio to build up my Steel and other equipment before 5pm. Everything worked out great and there were no time glitches to speak of, I was wondering where Murphy was hiding!
