Louisiana: New Gigs

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 8 Aug 2007 8:40 am

I'd like to take this moment to tell area steelers and lovers of the steel guitar, that I have a couple of new gigs in the Denham Springs area. The first is on Tuesdays from 5PM til 9 at Sharps Cafe' and Sports Bar in the Antique District in downtown D.S. and the second is in Watson (north of D.S.) at James Grill on Thursdays from 6PM 'til 9PM. Tuesdays at Sharps is Steak Night and Thursdays at James' is an "All You Can Eat Fish". I'd like to invite all my friends to either or both places...to have some good food and hear some great steel guitar music. If you need further info...please call me at 225-276-8250.....HAL

"to have some good food and hear some great steel guitar music."

What an understatement! I visited with Hal last evening at James' Grill and it was time well spent.

The food and the music were both outstanding. Thanks Hal!

Hey Al....it was great to see and be able to visit with you, too. I really enjoyed it...This is going to be a really great gig. I'd, again, like to invite my steel guitar friends, and lovers of the same, to come out and have a great time listening and eating (all you can eat) fish at "James' Grill" each and every Thurs from 5:30 PM to 9 (or after). Thanks again Al...............! HAL

Hal is a great steeler and singer too. I hope to make it sometime. It's quite a long drive from Leesville, but you never know. Maybe I can bring Reverand Gibson and make the trip one day. Good luck with the gigs, Hal.

Hal, I got your pedal repaired and shipped back today. It is coming priority mail. I went through the electronics and made a killer pedal out of it. There won't be any charge for the repairs. Thanks for using my pedal.

Reggie, it sure has been a while since you and I got to see each other, and I wouldn't mind hearing you play again (you da picker).

Jody...Buck and Mitzi are very special folks, and yeah...he sure knows how to play

Tommy.....You're something.....I'm still tryin' to find out what it is (LOL, LOL).....any and all of you are welcome to come and visit, I'll even let y'all play some if'n ya want to.......y'ont too?

Thanks Everyone..........HAL

Keith....thanks so much for getting the pedal repaired for me...I'll let you know via the forum when I receive it. Forum members...just to let you know....that Keith Hilton is a TOP-SHELF guy. You can't beat his Pedals nor his service.

Billy Carr · Post by **Billy Carr** » 11 Aug 2007 1:27 pm

I might go by and pick up ole Danny Harrell and we could both eat steak/fish and watch you play a little bit my friend. Never know when some of your pickin' partners might walk-in. Ha!

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 11 Aug 2007 7:35 pm

Billy....would love to have you anytime.....you might bring that Fessy down and let me try it....so I can see what that TY mod has done for it. C-Ya HAL

Hi Hal, If the Fish is half as good as your steel playing it's got to be good. Maybe i can make it up one Thursday afternoon and support you.

your friend RJ

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 12 Aug 2007 5:30 pm

Bring it on RJ...you know I'd love to have you..Hal

Hey Hal !!!!
Good Luck on the new pickin spot. Ms Mickey and I might just come strollin in one afternoon, "UNANNOUNCED". You know I'm sorta like a bad penny. (Liables to show up anywhere).

Folks........Ole Hal is a great player and singer and if you are in the area, you can whop two birds with one stick. GET THE OLE BELLY, AND EARS FULL AT ONE PLACE. However, You'd better get there before R.J. makes his run. You'll be scrapping the bottom of the pot, on the full belly side.

And yes sir Hal, My buddy Buck Grantham is one fine steel, and guitar player. He and Mitzi are right up at the top of my list. Good lord made any better folks, he kept them for himself.

Ya'll be good chullens down-air and we hope to see you soon.

Ben & Mickey O'Dell

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 13 Aug 2007 7:56 am

Thanks Ben...Both of these gigs are nice, they are fun to play. You and Ms Mickey are always welcome to come by anytime you want to....be so glad to see you and be able to have a nice visit with two of my favorite people......Might even get you to sing a song or two if you'd like to......so c'mon. HAL

Ben ODell · Post by **Ben ODell** » 14 Aug 2007 2:54 am

Thanks for the invite Hal. Same goes from this side of Mississippi.

Good luck pal and if you run out of things to do over there, brang it on over to "BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN, AGRICOLA, MISSISSIPPI", and we'll go out there and sit around in them easy chairs and let the sun shine in our mouth.

Catch U later

Agricola is just as far away as denham springs (I know, I know, lol). I'm not getting too far away from D.S. these days because of our finances. Only making $200.00/week at the moment. As soon as that status changes....we'll try and get over, as I've been wanting to come anyway. Please, do come over when you can, Ben.....would love to see ya....HAL

For ya'lls information, she looks a whole lot better than all ya'll put together. You might say that Old Buck married way up over his head.

Hey Mike.....what you talkin' 'bout.....when you're down this a way with your job...holler at me....HAL

Mike Hoover · Post by **Mike Hoover** » 19 Aug 2007 5:43 pm

Hal, I was talking about Mitzi, Buck's BETTER HALF. Which I am sure he will agree with me that is if he knows whats good for him.

I am working in OK right now, the next project is in Memphis, and then I ain't sure.

Mike

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 20 Aug 2007 3:23 am
