What a time I had Saturday night picking along beside Roger and the boys in Billy Mata's Texas Tradition Band. I had a ball despite a few train wrecks I caused by not knowing arrangements. These boys are great to work with and a great band. I also had the pleasure of picking with the great Floyd Domino....he was a stand in also. If any of you fellow forumites like western swing and are in the San Antonio area..go out and see Billy Mata and his great band!

PS: Roger..thanks for the help during the gig! |

Scott,
I agree, I got their CD at Dallas and it kicks butt. Beer Drinkin' Music and Magic Moments are fine. Roger is the backbone of the Billy Mata sound.

Roger is super, as is Rocco, Richard, Chaney and the rest of the band. Billy Mata is a very dynamic personality and a super talent. My "Swingin' West" listeners love their music and I am always hearing positive listener feedback from listeners world wide. There is always someone that comments to me that Billy's steel player really cooks. He sure does!

| Saw Roger at the Mesa AZ. Show and had the pleasure of visiting with him. Bought the Billy Mata CD "Tradionally Yours" and must say that it is fantastic. Such a good blend of Swing and Country Music. Folks Billy Mata is one of the finest vocalists to come along ever. His range and clarity are second to none and the musicians on the album are "Super Pickers" ALL. Roger thanks for turning me on to the album and I hope you guys have more in the works. |

| Roger, the "Domino Effect" wouldn't have something to do with a certain piano player would it??? |
