Ted, Bob T. is 100% correct... Our own Corky Owens is the man. He plays a Carter and I mean "He Plays" the guitar. One tremendous young man who has all the licks and chops that complement Watson in a very excellent manner. Too, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He's not bashful, so just go up and shake his hand if he's in your neighborhood. Man, he's Country.

| Thanks so much guy's for the kind words. I must owe you money. I enjoy talking to other players. You can learn something from every player. And you meet some darn nice folks, too. And Bobby. Thanks for starting me on steel and believing in me. You are a friend and mentor. |

I'll second that!! Corky is the pinnacle of a commercial steel player that perfectly fits with a classic artist like Gene. Sounds like the damn record!! If the Farewell Party Band is anywhere close, GO SEE THEM!!
He is one of the nicest guys in the business. [This message was edited by Terry Downs on 24 February 2004 at 09:44 PM.] |
