Tell us where you GIG is tonight

Nick Reed · Post by **Nick Reed** » 19 May 2001 1:14 pm

Every once in awhile on saturdays, I get the urge to start a tread to find out where you guys are playing tonight. I'll start it off.

I'll be in Portland, TN tonight 8pm til 12mid playing Steel at the annual Strawberry Festival. We'll be outside of course. I get to work with guitarist Lee Bogan who normally plays for Joe Diffie. We're gonna be backing Mr. Ronnie McDowell. Should be a bunchafunnn! Nick

BTW, I was double booked tonight, and I want to publicly thank Big John Bechtel for filling in for me on the other GIG. John's playing with "Denny Bacon & The Country Cousins" at the Quality Family Restuarant in Quality, KY from 5pm till 9pm. [This message was edited by Nick Reed on 19 May 2001 at 11:32 PM.]

I am working with Brigitte London tonight, with Redd Volkaert on guitar, Ernie Durawa on drums, and Sweet Baby James on bass. The club is Marty McFly's in Marble Falls TX. Should be a fun gig. Normally Pete Mitchell is on guitar, but he's going somewheres with Earl Ball tonight. Redd is of course as much fun as Peter, so I'm a happy steeler.

We played in Manchester NH last night and had the pleasure of Frank Caruso on Steel. We had a great time and a great sound and the band enjoyed it as much as the crowd.

John LeMaster · Post by **John LeMaster** » 20 May 2001 5:15 am

Danny Bates · Post by **Danny Bates** » 21 May 2001 11:03 am

I'll be playin' B3 and piano..... supposed to be over 200,000 people at the event.

Hey DVA !! I just wanted to let you know you
and your band sounded great again!!
Too bad the competition wasn't on the "up and up". It would have been nice to see who really won. By the way did you see a judge there because I sure didn't.
For all you readers who think it's "sour grapes" on my part your wrong. My band came
in 2nd!! and will probably benefit from it.
I simply don't feel good about it and decided to vent a little.
Again, DVA you sounded seasoned as usual.

Dave Van Allen · Post by **Dave Van Allen** » 21 May 2001 11:39 am

heh, heh..."seasoned"... and that was BEFORE I started drinkin'!!!!

You guys sounded great too, and my most sincere congrats on the 2nd place slot.

Like I said Saturday, my self worth is not compromised by having failed to win a "suspect" contest...

Melissa has a lot of other things going for her... as well as her looks.

take care pal!

Quesney Gibbs · Post by **Quesney Gibbs** » 21 May 2001 1:42 pm

Did a wedding recption just north of Houston Sat. Night. We were forced to eat good things, drink too much, work two hours and sneak out the back door with $100.00 each. I can't take much more of this.....

Bill Crook · Post by **Bill Crook** » 21 May 2001 3:11 pm

Doggone it, Quesney.....
I feel cheated now. We didn't get near $100.00 each to do our weddin' gig.....

I guess all things are bigger N' better in TEXAS.

Bob Cox · Post by **Bob Cox** » 25 May 2001 1:43 pm
