Mike Johnson & Joanie : Dallas Show

Once again, I have to say thanks to Mike and Joanie for making my first trip to Dallas a memorable one. They are truly the kindest, most gracious people I have ever met, and I have lived a little

The jam and Q&A in the Show-Pro room was the hightlight for me and meeting Hank Singer the amazing fiddle player just added to a magic weekend.

Thanks again, Mike & Joanie. I love you guys!

I agree with Bob's comments 1000 percent.

The Show-Pro room was the most gracious and friendly experience!!!!

it was a true mark of great musicians to see Mark & Joanie both on stage and especially in the Show-Pro room - i enjoyed how quiet they played, really letting the song & singer stand out.
most of my "gigs" are small un-miked combos like that and i struggle with playing soft enough not to overpower the acoustic instruments - i got a great lesson in that room!

This post is for any steel player who has never attended the TSGA convention held in March. You will see numerous letters saying how gracious everyone was and you might wonder if this is an exaggeration of the truth seeing as how we live in a politically correct era. I can assure you it is no exaggeration. It's a great group of folks from the attendees all the way through the playing professionals. Where else can you sit a few feet away from your favorite steel player and get to watch and listen to such incredible playing. It's inspiring.

For a guy fighting the nerves Mike did a fantastic job. And his wife Joanie done a great job as usual.

I think you could tell from my introduction of Mike and Joannie that they are at the top of my favorite's list.
