Special Thanks To Corky Owens & W.J. Copeland

[Fred Shannon]

Gene Watson, one of the few "pure Country artists" left is very fortunate to have Corky playing the instrument for him. Corky is a super picker, and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. If he's in your area, be sure and say hello. You won't regret it. I personally would like to thank him for performing for the Rose City guests. That personal thanks also goes to Mr. Copeland who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting at this time. Also thanks are due to the Rose City Officers for the good work they do.... Wish we could have been there, but work didn't allow it. Maybe next time.

The spirit be with you!
