Vernon Hester

I know Vern Hester, but who's Russ Hicks????

I keep saying that THIS will be the one that I make.
I always have good intentions.

Would like to actually make it to this one. I hear they all are super good.
Dave

Seriously, Russ Hicks is one of my favorite steel players, and a pretty good dude. But let's talk about Wayne Smith---MAN, what a bass player! As good as it gets! Somebody find out if he's gonna be there Saturday night, or is the moron gonna have to play bass? It's somebody else's turn to bring the moron---Charles says, "Steve, you got the moron?" And I say, "well, no..." and Charles looks at me funny for the rest of the weekend.

Just wondering if you guys are cooking anything for Saturday or Sunday?

Hey David, you know they'll be cooking! Saluda hot dogs are now world famous. Stevie...your turn!!!

Stephen,
Remember,You will have to be my Roadie and unload my stuff.So eat your wheaties!! I might be bringing the Sessions 500.Whew that sucker is heavy.
Vern

Vernon, it will truly be an honor---unless the moron insists on doing it.

By the way, I STILL wanna do my dobro set----Anybody found me the tab for "Wabash Cannonball" yet?

Steve, Russ Hicks is one of Laney's sidemen. Just some guy in her band. I think she lets him come to these things just to get him out of the house.

I think he was the dude they name a town after somewhere in TN.But, you may be right he could be the one that follows the Goodlooking singer (Lani)from show to show.
I bet Brett would know for sure.
Vern

I am looking forward to the show, love Russ's playing. I won't be there Sat. Steve, remember I told you I had a paying gig that Saturday night, but will be there Sunday. See y'all then.

Wayne

I couldn't remember which weekend it was, Wayne. BOY, we'll miss you! I guess I'll go get a can of vienners for the moron. It ain't right, I gotta bring the moron every time. He really gets on mine and everybody else's nerves .
Have a good gig, and we'll see you Sunday.

But "Russ and moron" just doesn't have the same ring as "Russ and Laney," does it?

These guys might have the tab to Wabash Cannonball.

Rick, you are a true friend, as well as a good Masonic brother. Are you coming? If not, could you send your fiddle? I can play the fiddle while the moron plays the bass.

Don't know if I'll come or not. I'm playing a lot of shows lately. I can send you the fiddle and pre-program it for Wabash Cannonball.

Steve:
Is this Saturday night Jam where you can switch out different musicians? Just wondered because I wouldn't mind doing a song or two on the bass, if your other bass player wouldn't mind.

Dave

Yeah, David, Saturday night's pretty much wide open, kinda like the space between the moron's ears. We generally have a good time, then head to the Huddle House to watch the moron do his pancake tricks...

Hartley, I lost your number---Could you please call me? Thanky.

Stephen,
I am all tuned up and ready for Saluda.This will probably be my last Show. I will be 77 on the 14th Nov. and that makes me old!!!.
I am coming over on Saturday night as well as Sunday.
Gonna have a good time.
Are you buying Hotdogs on Sunday??
Vern

Vernon, I'll buy the dogs on Sunday, but ONLY if you promise this won't be your last one!

Vernon I will be 77 on the 22nd of nov. but I did not know I am old yet.
Steve can I come????????????? to this one.

ernie

Ernest,
Come on up,maybe we both can get some hotdogs out of
Stephen.The boy is still working.Trying to decide on my tune selection.Going to do a few with my Rickenbacker
and ole Blue is sounding great.
Just built me a new tube pre-amp, going to finish boxing it up to day.
Vern

Hopefully this will be the time that I make it.
Never been to a convention, and I know I could learn a thing or two from some so many knowledgeable people......and yes, ok I admit it. I really want to come to try one of them there world famous hotdogs.
