Thanks for that, Bill. The steel player in the videos is actually the wonderful Al Bragg from Ottawa.
Buddy, I was at Nelson's place last night and he looks forward to playing with you too. He singled out the harmony singers in your group as being particularly good !
Maybe he won't want to play with me when he gets home.  Thanks,
-John

Hi John,
It is good to see you working with Nelson. I worked with him quite a few years ago in Ottawa. He is a very talented vocalist and a nice person.
I visited his site, and it was also nice to see the equally talented Al Bragg on steel. He is one of the best musicians I know.
Regards! Bob |

John,
What a nice guy and talented musician. Our whole group really had a great time working with Nelson. Feels good to play an all country music show(ifin you know what i mean). |
