Glad to See You guys are continuing this, The Midnight Jamboree Show was great. Too Good , not to carry on and on with Traditional Country Music. More of the road bands of the 60's and 70's need to do this.

Wish I'd known about this sooner. If you're within driving distance, don't miss this show. It's a rare chance to see some real pro pickers in action. I saw them at the ET Midnight Jamboree and I assure you, it's a treat.

Thanks for posting this Dave,that would be great if this show played more venues. It's good to see Chuck gettin in there. Lots of country music history in the room! Best wishes Safe Travels
