Does anyone know who is playing on West of Texas's new record? My understanding is they're out of Santa Cruz, CA. https://www.westoftexas.com/

Not sure of who it is but they are great! Thanks for posting them, hopefully we will find out who is playing that great steel! Their website doesn't list the players.

Thanks Dave!, Have been wondering about Gary Brandon, he hasn't posted here in a long time and looks like the Vanduras are idle.
