Nick,
I was in your neck of the woods last night at the old Squirrelys in Springfield, Tn. now called J.D's and will in Lebanon Tn. tonight. I'll think the Springfield gig will be regular every two weeks now. The Lebanon gig has lasted for over two years.

Hi Nick,

I'm filling in at the Ramada Inn in Bowling Green, KY.

The kids are gone tonight so my wife and I think we might climb in the freezer and play a little whip n chill!

Watching the late rerun of the opry

My girlfriend came over and I fixed dinner. We decided to put up the Christmas tree, so after dinner we opened a bottle of Merlot, got all four of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD's out, and drank some more Merlot. After listening to three Cd's and some more Merlot. I think I put the stand in the tree and now I can't find the lights. Oh well The wine and Cd's are about finished and so I will finish tomorrow.

No paying gig tonight, and my wife had to work, but I got a phone call to go over to a local opry show about 25 miles away and play Telecaster and dobro. Took my little 65 watt Peavey Bandit amplifier. Had a pretty good time. The steel guitar player let me sit in and play a set on his new LeGrande III. Enjoyed that too. Saw some folks I knew, ate some popcorn. All in all, not a bad night.

Another saturday night at Bull & Dees in Warner Robins GA with WWBP. I think the cops got him as he pulled out. He's been using a 30 day sticker for the last four months. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. Made my day !! After what he played on Folsom Prison Blues, anything would be OK with me.

We did manage to do a fair job on Don't You Ever Get Tired and Tin Man wasn't bad either but I think something is missing there. It doesn't fit at the hook. Maybe at rehersal monday we'll find that lost chord.

Regards, Paul

I was picking with Cody Bryant down at Viva Fresh in Burbank.It was one of those nights where I was breaking in a new set of fingerpicks and couldn't find my hind end with a flashlight - but what the hey.....

Nick;
I was working a little tavern in Duluth, MN. For what it's worth, I had a good time, too.

Update on last nights gig.
I've been using the Emmons pedal the last couple weeks and had more trouble with the string than I could stand. Either it was all the way on or all the way off. Finally got it going after surgery in the middle of about 3 songs.

Hey, Nick,

The VFW on Charlotte, where I am 3 weekends a month. Frank, I worked Squirreley's a couple of times w/Billy Wayne.
I'm off next weekend in case anybody needs a sub. (No Garth Brooks or Shania Twain, please.) >

I played at a coffee house in Mountain View, CA with my band Go Van Gogh. Nice place, good coffee and a packed house. We even had some dancers (two little two-year old girls).

Played at the local Moose Club with our band.
I thought we'd melt with the way the heat was turned up in the place.
The windows were directly behind us on stage so they were cranked open for the benifit mainly of the singer.
Me and the lead player had to constantly keep retuning our tools as the change in air temperature kept stretching-contracting the strings.
One of the other local bands singer got up and gave a few numbers (his night off) so it was a different night.
Always good when a guy gets paid too!!

Nothing this weekend but I play at the VFW In Columbia MS nrxt Saturday night. I've been out of circulation due to a move to MS but things are looking up.

I was at a little bar in Clinton, IL called "Whitney's Cove" which used to be a bath house for the now closed local swimming pool. Yep, concrete walls & floors!

Saturday, I played keyboards at the half-time show on the 50 yard line for the Fresno State game. There were 44,000 people in attendance. Saturday night I played guitar and pedal steel in a club in Ceres, California.

I played with our band "The Legends" at a place in Hampton, Virginia called The Tomahawk Inn. Had a great time as it's one of those musician friendly gigs. An older crowd, free drinks, and you pull behind a fence by the side of the club and unload your equipment in a door which is right on the bandstand. Only had to carry my amp about ten feet. Another plus was it was only from 8 till 11 PM.

Have a good 'un! JH U-12

Playing at "The Scarlet Lady" in Culver City, California. Fun little club next to the infamous "Tattletale" on Jefferson Blvd. Got to try out my first Zumsteel U-12 on this auspicious occasion, I had a blast.. Bronco Billy
