Marty gives in to Steel

Marty Martel's latest editorial includes this statement: "I will continue to book the Legends of the Grand Ole Opry and I will start using a steel guitar on those shows that I book."

Looks like those of us that e-mailed him about no steel in the Illinois show got to him.

Jack; I am sure Knowing Marty with all that he had to do to get the Show booked,make accomodatiions,that he never gave it a thought until the show when no steel was present. They use different bands and most have Steels. Like Jim Ed's,Jimmy Dickens,Stonewall,Jeannie Shepard,Bill Anderson and more.Marty loves Country too much. I myself threw a few tongue and cheek remarks on the forum. Maybe he will Give ole Smiley a call ,Smiley would fill in great anytime. Won't be long before you will see Paycheck included on those shows. And plenty of steel. Wish one would come our way.

Neil Flanz is in Florida and I'm sure he would like the oportunity to work. Just in case anyone is looking a player. Neil is a "Pro". He is also a forumite.
