Hey Mickey, lived in Dallas 30 years, best interstate system going, lot of great airports besides DFW and those Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, just dont move in mid summer, but on the other hand you know what hot is. Keep us posted, we have family there and may get to meet you someday. Regards Dale

Well well, congradulations Mickey. You're going to love it in Texas. We just had the honor of having Buzz Evans moving from Las Vegas to Austin to help keep Austin weird and then Johnny Cox and Joan and now this. Hope to see you in March at the Dallas show. Keep the rubber side down Don.

You'll Love Tx!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go.

Mickey: If you dont want move any of those Emmons to Dallas, I will be glad to take care of them for you. Dale

Hey Micky, I just have to say, I've wanted to live in Texas all my life. Someday my dreams will come true and When I get over there I'll give ya shout. We'll jam OK?

Big Steel Daddy (David), I have a question. If you like Texas so much why are you still Modesto? Ain't no music there and ain't gonna be anytime soon. Are you going to be in Texas when I get there? I sure hope so, I miss ya.

Jimmy the kid,

Mickey, I'm suprised you haven't told me this yet...this is awesome! I think you'd enjoy Dallas much more than Vegas. You'll have so many opportunities to play guitar and pedal steel, you'll think you died and went to heaven. I really hope it pans out for you. Let me know ASAP because this will affect our plans for the Dallas show. We'll be there, but you may not need a room; maybe I won't either, HA!

Give me a call, or I'll touch base early this week. BTW, I'll be in LA from 2/24-2/29. Let me know your flight schedule.

Some band is going to get one fine musician in Dallas. Can't wait to see who you hook up with Mickey!

Mickey I'm glad to hear your moving out our way, there are so many great steel players and so many great folks that love steel in these parts, as most of ya'll can see during the Annual Texas Steel Conference every year. Texas kind of grows on you. This State can't have enough great steel players and Mickey will be a great addition to our craft. I look forward to meeting you and hearing you play.

Keep us posted after you get settled in and let us know where you will be playing.

Mickey, Sounds like an adventure. Drop by Ricky Davis' and check out my Sho-Bud Professional that he's workin his magic on with some awesome John Coop parts. If you and Ricky lay your hands on it maybe it'll play itself when I get it back?

Hey guys when is the Texas conference? I have a sis in Fort Worth and would love a reason to visit The Lone Star state.........

Hey Bernie I am just a stone throw from ya. I wouldn't mind gettin together some time!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mickey...Hope you can make that move to the Lone Star State and even become a Texas Steeler, I'll be at the Dallas Steel Convention in March and look foward to meeting up with you as will all of us Texas Formunites take care and keep the wings level...your Texas friend...Brian

Mickey, welcome to Texas! As you're a pilot, it shouldn't be that much of a difference for you- we'll still all look like ants, it's just we gotta really big ant bed.

Gary (and anyone else) here is the TSGA website. I also got a letter yesterday with the players for 2008 but the website has not been updated. Hope to see you here.....

Randy ... great post!!!!

All I can say is, Mickey has to be one of the nicest guys I have met in a long long time! I still am in awe of the way he shares his talent with others. As far as him moving, I say yeaahhhh! Texas is a great state cause my wife is from there. The thing I am thinking, Texas is closer to Tennessee and I might get the chance to meet Mickey now! God bless you on your adventure Mickey...
