| Setting up in a bar in Simi tonight, and the club owner looks at my axe and says "We've had about a hundred and fifty country bands in here, and that's the first time I've seen one of those." First Emmons push-pull?, I was thinking. Wrong .. first steel guitar. |

| That's really sad. Hopefully it will start a trend. |

The "first steel guitar" part would seem to contradict the "We've had a hundred and fifty country bands" part IMHO.

I have worked in that part of California several times and had a cousin that lived in Simi Valley and spent a lot of weekends with him. Never found a Country Band or a Country Bar or Club in Simi Valley. But over the mountain South was Chatsworth and at Devonshire St. there was a very nice Country Club. Live Band every night I think but I cannot remember the name of it. Also West of there at Ventura was a nice country club but cannot remember the name of it. Getting OLD just SUCKS, ha. Had a lot of fun at both places. Lot of country girls that new how to two-step. I felt right at home. J.R. Rose

Earnest: wish I lived closer so I could come out to Simi Valley and hear you play.
JR: let me take a shot. Was it Ryan’s Roundup in Chatsworth, and the Ban Dar in Ventura? |

It was the Ban-Dar in Ventura all right, packed house Friday and Saturday nights but had live music most every night. Ryan's does not sound right. But I am talking 25 plus years ago so it could have changed names. It was located on Devonshire & DeSoto Ave just East of Topanga Canyon Blvd. (State 27 Hi-way) You would think that if I can remember that I could remember the name?? J.R.

Fish, it might have just been called the Roundup at that time. J.R.

| On the corner of Devonshire & Owensmouth...Ryan's Roundup became JR's Cowboy Palace in the 80's, and is now called the Cowboy Palace Saloon. I still do gigs there... I'll be there this Wednesday. |

Well Thank You so much Skip for clearing that up. It has been such a long time since I was their. It is good to hear that it is still going and having live bands. Good Luck and keep on picking. J.R. Rose

Ask not what country can do for you but what you can do for country

Hey Tim, I think you got lost along the way here. You might want to move this to the right subject. J.R.
