On Saturday I was playing a festival about an hour away and drove over to Houghton Lake for Danny Hullihens's show, saw Jim Cohen pick and that was great. Good to see some MI steel guitar cats, Bobby Wright (and his sweet Zum), Gene Calkins, and Keith Ballmer. Sorry I couldn't stay for the other pickers, would have loved to see Doug Jernigan. The band was good, Danny Crampton on drums and Tim Rowley on guitar. Thanks for backing me up guys!! And thanks to Danny for putting the whole thing to together.
cheers,
Drew
