Thanks Kenny,
Enjoyed that. That's definately my kind of music.
I wish we could get real music like that back on
the radio an TV stations again like we used to.

Lesa always loved Steel Guitar, I haven't talked to her lately but I assume she still does

Thanks again Kenny,
Great signer and a great band to back her.
She sounds like a typical french girl, and
I think she sound like Lucille Star did in
the late 60's. and I love her singing too.

Well she is definitely not French, she has lived most of her life in the Sacramento Area, but that didn't hurt her singing. (g)

Carl, I talked with Lesa tonight and while I was talking i got and email from the steel guitar forum indicating that some and posted so I checked it out and while there I read to her what you had posted and she laughed and said to tell you that she is definitely not a french girl but more likely a red neck okie, She still sings and loves singing and said to tell everyone hi and thanks for watching and the nice words.

Hey, thanks again Kenny,
I watched more of her videos, and I love to listen to her.
I don't know who the steel player is, but he's very good too.
Sure wish I could play at least half as good as he does.

Another very nice one Kenny. Don't know how I missed that one.
The only comment other than great is, the guitar player is too
loud and covers her pretty voice thru too much of the song.
Are you playing the steel on this one.

Yes I'm playing steel on this one

Post by Kenny Yates »

I'm playing steel on all these songs by Lesa, I'm her favorite Steel player, shhhhh don't tell her I said that.

Yes the Guitar player is a little too loud, however we had a sound man back in the booth that was supposed to take of that sort of thing, but I have noticed several song the the balance could have been better.

Anyway thanks for taking a Look, go look under a couple I played Steel on and give a listen to Sherri Wilmoth
