Not a finished product yet but sweet enough to have me thanking heaven again for the places I get to be sometimes.... |

Ron wrote the song only recently and we have been fooling around with it some; this particular recording captured one of those rare moments when everybody shares with utter sensitivity and care and opens the floodgates of sacred art.
The players: Ron Rogers, guitar and lead vocals; Don Campbell, bass and bg vocals; Jeff Minnick, drums; yours truly, pedal steel, feeling mighty lucky to be given so much leash on such a purty tune and trying my darnedednest to play in tune and not muff it up.... |

Don and I have been trying for years to find a project to work on together, Jeff and I go back too far to remember. Besides being another solid brother to work with Ron writes and performs a diverse mix of intelligent swampy, bluesy, country songs, all with room for the steel and/or dobro to stretch out on - what's not to like about that?
More of these tunes are already up on the band's demo site:

It's big fun for all and we are experiencing a high level of synergy on a regular basis, so yeah Brian, I'm singing the Johhny Appleseed song a bunch these days.... |

| I really liked that - song, playing, all the room you got on steel. Looking forward to the final mix. |
