Randy, congrats! That means I just might see you. She might come here to London Ontario..she's all over the place.

I am having fun reading my old PSGA Newsletters. You were mentioned in one of them, after the 1977 ISGC.
You played so well, you had requests for a certain song and you had standing ovations....and it looked like you were all of 18 years old :-)

Randy has been good enough to handle a gig like this for years. Think how proud Zane Beck and Jeff Newman would be. God rest their souls.

Thanks to everyone!

The first weekend out was a lot of fun. I took my Zum SD-10 and the Tonic preamp. I was able to get the guitar to weigh in at 47.5 pounds with the leg pouch in the suitcase. The backline company supplied a Peavey Session 500 that I plugged into the back of from the Tonic. All in all it seemed a little bit too easy! This show is a lot of fun to be a part of. At times I can get lost in listening to her sing and forget to play my part. :\

I'm real happy for you man !

Some guys wait a lifetime for an opportunity like this. Other guys will only dream about it cause they ain't got what it takes and I'm not saying it's because they ain't giving it everything they got.....

These will be days you will never forget, make the most of it !
You've earned it.

Good Luck and God Bless !

Obviously this is something you could have done for a very long time. I received great reviews from my bud Larry Behm and Patti. Thanks Randy for always being so gracious with you knowledge of the steel guitar.
