The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey folks
I am nearly at the end of a most wonderful week here in Nashville.

I came over to visit my Friends, Billy & Nancy Yates and family. (Billy Wrote I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair and Choices) for George Jones.

We were at the Best Show in town, "The Countriest Of Country Show" I met Jamie Lennon and Georgette Jones there. They were both very friendly and polite. Georgette sang at the show and Jamie played a Show Pro for her.

I'd just like to say thanks to you guys for your kindness and the VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE. You guys are the best.

Mike and Joanie Johnson were in town and it was great to visit with them at the shows.

Steel Players are the best!!! people

...and as a Brummy he's a great embassador for Birmingham.

I think giving up one's day job, moving to Nashville on spec, and getting engaged to one's favourite singers' daughter must be every Brummy's dream.

Well you're as good lookin' as Jamie and a Brummy. So come on over.

Jamie is working in Rippy's tonight, 8-2AM (For Tips)

I've been living in the U.S.A. for over 30 years now. Ironically, I moved two years after I was married: when I was living in England I was never successful with women, but after moving to California I had women throwing themselves at me, at a time when I was unable to reciprocate.

Now, as I approach 65, I'd rather have a bacon sandwich.

Life's a pig when you're getting on in years......

You can't beat a good old bacon sandwich.

Thanks John...it was a pleasure spending time with you and your wife. And you did make George laugh (who the hell are you, haha)!!! He signed it for you !

Hope to see you soon

Did you guys see the news today?

A young Englishman from Birmingham was doing stunts in an airplane when he fell out in mid-air. He was free-falling (hundreds of miles per hour) when luckily, he landed perfectly on the side of a mountain and slid down a soft bank of snow and slowly glided (standing up) to a 'women only' ski resort packed full of beautiful young women who all witnessed his entire ordeal.... Unbelieveably, he was completely unharmed!

When the reporter and cameraman got past the hundreds of women they said.. "You must be the luckiest man in the world!"... While eating a bacon sandwich (and with a lipsrick covered face), he looked straight inro the camera lens and shook his head and said...

"Nope... not me", "The luckiest man in the world is me bloke Jamie Lennon"

Jamie, is he anybody you might know?

Best wishes!

You guys are funny.

We are just getting ready to leave for the UK.

Taking back a lot of special memories.

Thanks to all of you, you know who you are.

To my friend David Hartley. I just know you hate me Ha Ha
