I saw Don with the Souviniers in SF 5 or 6 years back when our band opened for them. He is a great player. We both had the same setup - Sho Bud Super Pro and a Webb.

I saw Don play with Dale Watson last year at Twangfest in St. Louis. He's a fine player who compliments Dale's music well. I highly recommend seeing Dale Watson - he's the real deal!

| He's got some wicked cool licks, I really enjoyed listening to him the couple of times I got lucky enough to see him with Dale. |

| I met Don when I was living in Nashville in the early 1990's. He was a fine player back then and last year I had the opportunity to see him play with Dale Watson right after he got the gig, once in Texas and then a week later in my home town. He sounded great and I expect that he is just getting better and better with all the playing he gets to do. You definately want to check him out. He's also a great guy and loves to talk shop.

Hey Drew,
I met Don last year when he swung through these parts with Dale Watson. Ricky had told me what a great player he was so I went out to see and hear it for myself. WOW! He truly is a great player and a helluva' nice guy. Go say hi if ya' get the chance. You won't regret it.

Don is a great player, I have missed him here in Seattle (but I have appreciated the work tossed my way). We worked a couple gigs double steel and it was great! His playing can be considered 'retro', but he is such a creative player that to label him in that 'alt-country' vein would not do him justice. He plays a killer mid 80s shobud (Paul Franklin Sr. built) through a Webb.
Great guy, great player.
See him! |

| I saw him with Dale Watson et al here in New York a while ago... playing a blonde sho bud. GREAT show, and a nice guy (based on the brief conversation when I bugged him about the Jukebox Charlie intro...) a hell of a player, too. |

Of course, in Dale's band, you'd have to be a leper amputee not to draw the babes.
