Hi Jeff, If Al Brisco enjoys his weekend with you guys as much as I did, he will be a very happy man.
I have wonderful memories of the time I spent you and your team last year. You are in for a real treat, as Al is a wonderful player and a super guy and friend.
I will miss him in Dallas next month. Have a good one. |

Well the Brisbane festival show is over & a great time was had by all. Can't wait till the next one.
I'm going to leave a full report for Jeff to do - BUT as for Al Brisco, all I can say is WOW
All the artists did a fantastic job, we had a surprise special guest & the shoot-out between Al Brisco & Paddy Long at the Sunday social was amazing.
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful weekend & I hope to see you all again next year.
Cheers, Allen. |
