I'm be playing Opry Fest with the Derailers on the 6th.....but don't know anymore details of where and time.....
Ricky

Ricky!! please post as soooooon as you know the details. We'd love to see the Derailers and I'd love to see your "blue darlin'"!!!

Johnny Cox was playing with "The Time Jumpers" at the Station Inn- if still there they are a definite can't miss!

Are the Time Jumpers a weekly thing? I've heard good stuff about them and would like to check them out. Is the Station Inn in or relatively close to Lower Broadway? I also seem to remember someone saying Mr. Hughey played frequently in Nashville. True? I'd reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like to see him play!!!

The Time Jumpers play on Monday at Station Inn and John Hughey plays Wednesday and Saturday from 6 to 10 at Legends. Mike Sweeney plays 6 or 7 nights a week at the Nashville Palace and Smiley Roberts plays in his back yard daily! He and the neighbor's cat fight for the sand box!

Aaahhh, but what is Mr. Roberts trying to bury in the sand? Hopefully not the same thing the cat is!!!

Hey Chris; I most likely will borrow a Steel in Nashville to play that show....it will just be fly in and play and fly out....so won't be bringing the Fulawka if I can help it......and will let you know more details later on this evening after I talk with Tony.
Ricky

I have a Pro III I'd offer to let you borrow. But it's only an 8/4 and that probably isn't enough for ya. Please do fill me in on the details, I'm a big fan of the Derailers (and the stuff you play ain't too shabby either!!).

Oh, and I think we're going to be playing on the same album. Is Ty Braddock going to bring you up here to record? If so, I'll finally get to meet you in person.

Chris, I thought Paul would be doing the session for Ty
Gary Lee

Hey Chris that would be great...are you gunna have it with you in Nashville??? Cause I haven't tagged down a guitar yet...I was probably gunna use one of Kevin Owens Steel's....and it doesn't matter what knee levers(where they are or what they do or how many..ha)there is....That's the advantage I have with swamping my knee levers around so much.....I can play anyones guitar.
Ricky

Gary, it's my understanding that Ty will be using both Ricky and Paul. We just don't know which steel player for which song!! Ricky, yes, I will have it with me. If you can't nail down another guitar, you're more than welcome to borrow mine. Just e-mail me if ya need it. Odd coincidence, Gary Lee Gimble has played this very same guitar and here he is jumping in!!

Chris, my jump may be just shy of a 4.0, OH WELL! And yes, I really enjoyed playing your 'Bud, even if the knee levers were, and are still all backwards! My expertise doesn't include bilingual translations. Whatever that means! Have fun down south!
Gary Lee

Gary, my man, you are one who's backwards! But I'll forgive you because of your fine taste in wines. So far, I'll be checking out John Hughey saturday, Ricky Davis on sunday and still don't have squat to do on friday night. Should I hit the Hall of Fame? Anything cool at the Opry? any touristy stuff to do maybe? and how could I get in touch with Smiley for the the 69 cent tour?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Chris Forbes on 23 September 2002 at 11:40 AM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks to you fine folks it looks like I have a full weekend planned out!! Thanks a million to everyone and close this up.

Chris,
If you come to the Nashville Palace your name will be on the guest list. I'd like to see you. If you hook up with Smiley I'll see you some other time I guess.
Mike

Mike, is that on saturday night? and is the Nashville Palace near lower broadway? I'd like to hear ya play, I've heard super things about your playing.

The Palace is right across from the Opryland hotel on the corner of McGavock Pk (I think thats right) and Music Valley Dr.

You're right Eddie. McGavock and Music Valley Dr. And no Chris it's not near downtown.
Mike

That's a pleasent thought! John

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! we're staying at the Opryland hotel!! when is it that you're playing Mr. Sweeeney?
