Steelers around San Jose?
I'll be in San Jose, CA next week for a business trip. Just wondering where to hear some good music in this area. Thanks!

Britannia Arms - Aptos
A little bit of a drive (30 - 45 minutes) from San Jose, but I'll be at the Britannia Arms (8017 Soquel Dr) in Aptos with Larry Hosford Thursday night.

Don't know when you have to go back home, and it's about and hour and twenty minute drive north from San Jose across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County (if you avoid rush hour), but one of the nicest clubs in the region is Rancho Nicasio.

On Friday evening, 3/9 it'll be Big Sandy & The Fly Right Boys.
On Sunday, 3/11, it'll be long-time Bay Area guitar master Gary Vogenson, with steel guitar hall-of-famer Bobby Black.
These guys sound wonderful together!
You can always tell the steelers and hard core steel fans in the audience at a Bobby Black gig. We're the ones that have to pick up our jaws from the floor at the end of the night...
He should be designated a National Treasure.

I'd love to hear Larry Hosford. It must be at least twenty years or so since I listened to his albums and always liked them. Clever and heartfelt at the same time. I seem to dimly recall that Ernie Hager played on them as well as maybe Frank Reckard. (?)
It's good to hear that he's still kicking around! I bet it's a musically fun gig.

Larry Hosford
You might say that Larry Hosford is the Shakespeare of Country Music. I put up some videos from a show we did several years ago, you can watch them at: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... rch=Search
Yes, Ernie Hagar played with him and Larry wrote the linear notes on Ernie's last CD. Frank Reckard also played with Larry, as well as a bunch of other mighty fine players. More info is on Larry's web site (http://www.larryhosford.com), where his CD's can be found. We usually start up around 8:30. It would be pleasure to meet you.

Randy, I must apologize . I had forgotten that I'm leaving for Dallas Thursday morning to both visit my brother and attend the TSGJ and I won't be with Larry Hosford in Aptos. Larry will be playing as usual and is always worth seeing with or without a steel player. Hope my lapse of memory hasn't caused any complications in your travel plans.
