| I was informed by Roger Trahan that he will be playing with "Rachel Landry & the Western Partners" at the Tiverton VFW, 134 Shove St., Tiverton, RI. on October 28th. Playing lead guitar will be Doug Beaumier. Doug is one of New England`s foremost steel and lead guitar players with at least three instructional books to his credit. We are grateful that he will travel from Northampton, MA, a 2 hour drive. |

| The energizer bunny Elaine Ellis will be playing bass for Rachel on the 28th. Also, because I don`t know how to edit it, I apologize for omitting the location in the topic tittle. |

| Just bumping up. The last time Rachel played here in Tiverton a few months ago, she had me machine her an aluminum knob to replace the broken plastic one on her P.A. stand. I made it and never mailed it to her, so she will finally get it this Sunday. I am looking forward to the gig with Roger on steel and Doug on lead. Maybe they could switch instruments for a song or two, because Roger also plays 6 string guitar. |

| Also, It is not a show. It is a dance gig that occurs every Sunday night from 6-10pm where Jim Davis rotates about 15 different country bands with several of them having a steel guitar in the band. For three years now it has been very successful. |

| Having Doug there for me it was like winning the lottery. It was such a pleasure for Elaine Ellis/bass and Hank Lafrance/drums smoothly blending in with Doug, Roger and Rachel. Here on the forum, it`s nice to finally see this bashful picker`s face holding a vintage Fender lap steel instead of just his hands as he usually displays. Also, check out his version of "Apache" with a MILLION hits and "Sleepwalk". Speaking of that song, I have heard a hundred thousand versions of it but none like Doug`s who accurately captured little nuances like Santo & Johnny`s original. |
