PSG ~ L©©king for Nashville Gig

John Bechtel · Post by **John Bechtel** » 10 Aug 2005 10:51 pm

I play an SD–10 PSG and I'd be happy to find a ‘Traditional~Country’ gig in the Nashville area, other than Downtown! To much hassle getting around down there! Something within about a 30-mi. radius of Nashville. I have 48-yrs. experience at PSG and 4-yrs. at the Opry with Billy Walker and Stonewall Jackson. And also extensive road experience with various artists and bands. FT8Custom@webtv.net or Ph: (615) 227–3256

Just pop on my e-mail above and we'll talk!

john. come on up to chippewa i'll open up the empire for you. better wait till spring, it's starting to get cool up here.

John Bechtel · Post by **John Bechtel** » 12 Sep 2005 10:05 pm

Gary;
I’d consider the Empire~Deal, however; I did manage to get on the player’s list at our n.t.s.g.a. Oct. 1st. All~Day Super Jam, so; I guess it will have to wait! I even managed to place 1st. on the list, to open the show at 11 am!

Thanks,

Big John is an excellent dedicated player who plays Classic Country Steel Guitar as well as anyone. He's a good guy too, and he would be an asset to any Country band.

If he lived around here, I'd hire him myself!

Got a nibble, but; so far it only tickles, although it does sound promising!

Funny, I don't get any replies, but; I do keep dropping off the page! I'd almost rather drop off a stage somewhere, if it's not too high!

John, maybe you should move to Myrtle Beach SC. That's where the gigs are!

Please close this Post! I wouldn't want to take any work away from a more deserving person¡
