The Steel Guitar Forum

I was curious if anyone from this forum will be attending the Desert Rose Band shows in San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Copper Mt. or San Fran.?

See Chris Hillman's site for more info.:

Jay Dee Maness will be there! I saw the band with Tom Brumley in '91 but never saw Jay Dee. The Byrds forum will be represented. I'll be flying to San Diego from Florida.

Cool. I saw them, touring their "One Step Forward" album---don't know what '80's year that was---at the Bottom Line in NYC with Jay Dee. Hey Jay Dee---remember me---I was the guy at that table. You know? I had a beer. Was wearing shoes. Right? Yeah. I knew you'd remember a thing like that.

They were absolutely top notch. Memorable.

I have my tickets for the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach on Thurs, Aug 27th. Can't wait!! Jay Dee, Jon Jorgensen,Hillman, etc. -Terrific!

If I had the money for air fare I would be there. I love those guys.

It is true, we, The Desert Rose Band with all of the original members will be playing again. 8 /27 at the Belly-up in Solano Beach, Ca. 8/28 at the Coachhouse in San Juan Cap, Ca. 8/30 in Denver or just outside Denver, Colorado At Copper Mountain ski resort. 9/3 in Paso Robles, Ca 9/4 in San Francisco, Ca at GoldenGate park. You can go to Chris Hillman. com for a complete rundown. We are all realy excited about playing together again hoping to get all of you out to see us. It has been 13 1/2 years since we have played together and that was just one time at my 50th birthday party. JayDee.

A chance to see one of the great bands and hear Jay Dee play is top shelf....the folks in California and Colorado are in for some good music. Hope this spills over into Texas.

Has been on my radar to see them at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco ever since I first heard they will be there!

Just got my tickets for the Coach House 8/28.

Jay Dee can you guys come to Alaska to play?That would be way cool.Stu

Cool! If any of you guys see a skinny young woman with brown hair in a vintage style western shirt, that would be me. Say hello. I love meeting other country musicians. I'll be at the Belly Up and Coach House.

Mr. Maness, it will be an honor to see you play.

Where in Paso are you playing, on 9/3? I don't see the dates on his site for most of Sep....

I plan on being there, wherever it is. It will be great to see you guys again....

Danny, I don`t even yet know where the Desert R. Band is playing in Paso Robles. Thanks for asking.

Please Bump I will be there thur hopefully right in front JD seems to play on stage left with this band if I remember right. Frank H

Got my tickets, see y'all there!

Hey Jay Dee, this is great! I remember you saying there might be a reunion way back at the last Perl Jam. I'll try to make the SF gig, but is that 9/4, or 10/4?

Way Cool! Man wish I was about 3000 miles closer...what an event...loved the band in every way. great stuff...have a great gig!

I'll be at the Belly Up show too. I'm really pumped--saw them there back in the day--one of the best!

The Paso Robles date is canceled. Hopefuly we will see some of you at the other confirmed dates. Go to Chris Hillman .com for a list of the firm dates.

Jay Dee, My wife and I will be at the Copper Mt. show. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch you and say hi.

Jay Dee,If Steve Duncan is with you could you say hi for me,I lost him a long time ago,Thanks,Stu

The show is fantastic- whatever you do- beg, borrow, or steal- go see it- it's like they never broke up- fantastic musicianship, harmonies, and songs. JayDee is still at the top of his game!!!!

I'll be there tonight hangin with the guys at the Coach House.

What a great show...Great band, great songs.. It's a shame that there aren't more "players Bands" out there. JayDee, John Jorgenson, Steve, Chris and Herb.. Just smokin fun! It's the real deal... It was also a blast seeing all my terrific musician friends in the audience.. Cool evening,,

and...san francisco..golden gate park...hardly strictly bluegrass festival has always been free!!

Last night's show was amazing, fantastic, one of the best I've ever seen. Every chair filled by a hugely talented player. Jay Dee was awesome, and John Jorgensen was unbelievably creative and fluid.

If you missed it, start kicking yourself now!!!
