Johnny Bush's new cd.

Post by Dave Alfstad »

Got my copy of Johnny Bush's new cd, Green Snakes. It is awesome but I wasn't fortunate enough to get the bonus cd that was issued with some of them. I would love to get a copy of the bonus cd if someone here would share it with me. I would like to get a copy of it in cd format if I could.
Any response can be e-mailed to me directly at:
steelin1@mchsi.com

Thanks a lot.

i wouldn't go way out of my way to get the bonus disc. it is very, very low fidelity. only played it once. songs are very much in the same tempo. nothing particularly worthwile about it other than as as a historical curiousity documenting one of johnny's earlier attempts in a studio.

The added bonus CD is Johnny, Willie, and Tom Morrell from 1962. I love it! Tommy Detamore, like Bruce Bouton a student of Buddy Charleton, was great on the CD. But what sent me into orbit was a guy I have not seen since 1976, Dennis Mathis, also of San Antonio. Denny blew me away on Johnny's CD as well as the TSGA this year! He also was inducted into the TSGA HOF!! Whatta player. The last time I saw him was at the Texas Star Inn off HWY 16 outside of San Antonio playing a red MSA. Buzz Evans said on his set at TSGA that Denny knocked him thru the "wall" 3 times during his set!!

OOOPS! Meant Dickie Overby instead of Tommy. He was on a previous CD.

Dos Tacos - No Steel, but a great Tex-Mex style song!

This list is no way intended to slight the other fine musicians and their work on this recording. They all did a fine job! The "Real" way to cast a "Vote" for this kind of music is to order a copy of this CD.

I saw Denny Mathis for the first time at the TSGA show. What a monster picker!

Last time I saw Denny was 1976 at the Texas Star Inn (on HWY 16 a few miles north out of San Antonio) playing a red MSA. He was just as devastating then. It was great to make his acquaintance again.

I took lessons from Denny from 1976-79. He's
one of the best and a great guy.
I think he is a staff player at Fiesta Texas theme park.

(Green Snakes)It's not a new CD any more, but if you haven't heard it, get it. Dicky Overbey, Rick Price, Tommy Detamore, Denny Mathis and Buddy Emmons are all on this album. Great tunes and great pickers.

When I first moved to San Antonio in 1966, Denny Mathis was the first Texas Steel player I saw. It scared me so bad I wanted to hide my Fender 1000. I was afraid everybody here played like that. I soon found out that there were a lot of hot players here.
