I'll be playing New Years Eve with the John Henry Band At the Flying M in Yamhill.

Pete:

The Country Inn eh?

Say Hi from me to Howard Waldo and Big Ed if they show up.

Also to Brother Speed. I used to date some of their mothers...

Keep an eye on your beer for little blotters floating in it..

Good timing place that's for sure.

Bob, Looks like you are going to have a blast or a really long night but I'm betting on fun. I love a challenge like that once in a while. It really sharpens you up and makes you think and draw on everything you know.

Bob Lets trade New Years gig. While you are playing, Strangers In The Night, Moon River and other songs from your list,i'll be playing Save The Horse,The Shake,I Want To Talk About Me From our bands list .Joe

I,ll be at the Coupland dance hall with Dave Jorgenson & Rio. One of the oldest dance halls in Texas.

Guess I'll be watching the big ball drop on TV. This is the first time in several years that I don't have a NY eve gig. I am available though if anyone is looking for a steeler in the Louisville area.

I'll be on steel with Wild West at the Eagles club in Sunnyslope Az.

My wife and I will be for the 4th year in a row at the Holiday Inn right off I 40 exit 80
in Jackson, Tn. A variety of over played dance selections from 9 till 1. Stop in and hear Brick House on the pedal steel.

I will be playing with Gunsmoke (w/Jeff DeMaio on pedal steel) at Pure Country, 6 Delay Street, Danbury Conn. If you want to hear some nice straight-ahead country, twin steel and guitar, and some western swing mixed in then please stop by. We will have some copies of our new live CD "Road To Nashville" with us too, so stop in and say "HI".

Somewhere just outdide of Bloomington, with the Lloyd Wood gang for the 28th year - I think I'll keep this gig! Three fiddles, 3 electric mandolins, Fender non-pedal, upright bass, and all the "normal" instruments. PLENTY of Western Swing - yes, even in Indiana. Fred Shannon, we've never met, (my loss I'm sure), but A BIG handshake form me to you on that first gig you guys are doing! All of you folks - BE CAREFUL - driving that night... Jimmie

Our original gig at Moose Lodge #1029 in Hopkinsville, KY got canceled Monday (With Just 4 Days Notice) . The Lodge representative said they weren't going to have the money to pay us, so guess what! Luckily I was able to get the owners of Flea Country to have a New Years Eve Party here at the last minute and let us be the entertainment. Not quite as much money as the gig we lost, but with that short of notice, I ain't complaining.

Nick

Perry:I run into Ron about once a month,I will tell him hi for you.

Looks like we may have a decent turnout afterall. This party got thrown together late Monday after the Moose lodge called & canceled our scheduld NYE gig. We've put up flyers all over town. Since yesterday we've had nearly 75 phone-calls from our regular crowd wanting to know if we were gonna play tonight. Wish us luck! Nick

I'm playing at the lakeside brew pub in Port Townsend with the Jelly Rollers (great blues/roots band).

Idabel, Oklahoma. Gaming center. It was a fun gig, as always.
