Hi Buck, sounds like a great summer. Be careful out there. Jody.

I've set a reminder on my cell phone for the 30th on Letterman. Love your cd. When will the next one be ready? hint!!!

Tony

August 17 is my birthday and my kids live in the woodlands. Boy would that be a B-day party! See my kids and one of my favorite steelers all in one weekend. Have to see if I can work it out.

That's quite a schedule! What do you do in your spare time?

Who is the artist? That is one hell of a schedule.

Lyle Lovett. He evidently doesn't believe in days off! (And how come no Philly gig? )

Lyle always travels First Class though.

Buck, do you know who else is on the tour backing Lyle?

Tom,this years band consist's of Russ Kunkel on drums, Viktor Krauss on upright bass, Jim Cox on piano, Ray Herndon and Mitch Watkins on electric guitars, Gene Elders on fiddle, John Hagen on cello, Keith Sewel on acoustic guitar/mandolin,three backup singers... Willie Green Jr.,Harry Bowens,Sweet Pea Atkinson and yours truly.

Not sure why but I just learned the Letterman date on June 30th is cancelled.

Jim,sorry no 'philly' date,would have been good to see you.

Buck, has Gene left George Strait?


Tony

Tony,
my understanding is that George tours through the early part of the year which allows Gene to do both.

Buck,
Saw the show in Westbury, NY. It was great! My only complaint was that you weren't featured enough. I ordered your CD. Can't wait to get it.

Andy,thanks for coming out to see us and also for your nice email. Sorry to hear of your complaint and all I can say is there are alot of us. Your CD is in the mail... thanks for the order,hope you enjoy it!

Buck, I caught the show last year at Chastain Park in Atlanta. I had figured that between Lyle and K.D. Lang I would get my money's worth. What I didn't expect is that I'd be bitten by the steel guitar bug again after being away for more then 30 years. You may have only been out front on two or so songs, but that's all it took for me.

Being a computer programmer by trade I practically lived on line, but I had never followed up on my old passion. The difference between my relative isolation as a kid in Baltimore with an old ShoBud permanent compared to wealth of knowledge, camaraderie and support available online today is truly amazing.

From time to time I had checked Lyle's credits, but couldn't pin down who was playing that night. With this thread, it finally clicked.
I just wanted to say thank you for your inspiration and being a beacon home.

Thank you Michael,that's quite a compliment! Welcome home and I wish you the very best.

Buck, I'll be back in DFW the weekend you're there (aug). Got tkts in hand for the Thur show. I've seen you there before and it's a terrific show......

Danny

Buck, Great show last night (Thur) and a great write-up in the S-T today.

You were well up in the mix and the tone was great. Looks like you were going direct. What rig/setup are you using? It sounded terrific.

Danny

Thanks Danny for coming out, and for your kind words! Sorry we didn't get a chance to visit. My rig is very simple, Bill Lawrence LXR-16's, and a Profex2 thru a Nashville 112.
