I had a great visit with my friend Danny at the Grand Ole Opry tonight just before his performance with Gene Watson. Danny played so good and tasteful.
I always enjoy visits with Danny. What a great musician and always a kind, uplifting spirited person. 😊

Great guy and a great player.
I understand Gene doesn't use a set list so Danny and the band have to be ready to kick off almost anything from Gene's huge catalog at any time. That's impressive in and of itself! _________________ Bill Cunningham

Tommy , Was Danny using his Tommy Huff / MB500 cab ? Tommy H. said Danny is really satisfied with this setup.

I've had the great pleasure of knowing and calling Danny a friend for around 25 years. We've referred each other for gigs when one of us was booked and one wasn't. He's a just the best as a person and player and he has the best friggin gig in the world.
BTW-Happy Birthday Danny! _________________ Cops aren't paid much so I steel at night. |

I only met Danny one time but we spent a lot of time talking steel and visiting, he was traveling with Johnny Lee at the time and I was really glad to hear he got the Gene Watson gig. Great guy

Hands Down, Danny is the most warm, sincere gentleman of the steel guitar I have ever met. Just one heck of a nice guy each time I have met him.
One heck of a musician, too! _________________ Traveler, Peddler and Extreme life lover. Giving up is not an option. |

Danny is a great player and great guy.
Gene couldn't ask for a better man for the job.
Johnny Lee calls him Danny Macaroni...lol |

A buddy of mine told me about this post a few days after it posted. I've tried to come up with the right kind of response. I'm not sure what I can say. I am humbled beyond words. I'm a very lucky musician, to have the gig that I do, without a doubt. Gene is the biggest supporter of steel guitar in the world. I told him one time, that I felt if times got tough, he'd get a drum machine before eliminating the steel seat. He said "You're right".
I'm an average player at best, who happens to live in a place with many opportunities. For Gene's gig, you only have to learn the sig licks and stay out of the way. I told him one time early on, that I'm not getting paid by the note, so I have no motivation to play any more than is called for.
I'm pretty certain any of the pickers here on the forum could cover this gig, if I can. But I am very appreciative of the comments.
Thank you so much. |
