WELL I AM FINALLY HOME. AND IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND. SEEING SOME NEW FACES AND OLD FRIENDS. ALL THE MUSIC WAS GREAT IN THE BALLROOM AND IN THE OTHER ROOMS AS WELL.
AND WOW HAVING LEONA WILLIAMS,DOLLY PARTIN, BARBARA MANDRELL AND JACK GREENE THERE ALL AT ONE TIME WOW. 
BUT A BIG TREAT FOR ME WAS BEING A PART OF THE STEEL IDOL CONTEST. IF YOU WERE THERE IT WAS DEFINITLY INTERESTING, AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE JUDGES WERE SUPPOSE TO BE IN CHARACTER AS RANDY PAULA AND SIMON. WHICH LANA DID PRETTY GOOD COMMENTING ON HOW WE WERE ALL DRESSED BUT IT WAS ALL IN FUN. I WAS AS NERVOUS AS A CAT. CONGRATS TO JOE, TYLER AND DALE FOR PLAYING SO WELL. AND TO JOE FOR WINNING.
KUDOS TO GARY SILL FOR COMING UP WITH THE IDEA AND RUSS AND LANEY FOR BRINGING IT TO SCOTTY. GREAT JOB GUYS.
HOPE EVERYONE ELSE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I INVITE YOU TO COME TO OUR ALABAMA SHOW NEXT YEAR, BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE DATES AND TIME. SEE YA NEXT YEAR IN ST. LOUIS!

THANKS DON,
I HATED IT FOR THE JUDGES CAUSE TYLER JOE AND DALE ARE ALL SUPER PLAYERS AND DHOWED THEY WERE WORHTY OF BEING ON THE MAIN STAGE. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I DIDNT PASS OUT FROM A RAPID HEART RATE WAITING TO GO ON STAGE. BUT BY THE CROWD RESPONSES TO ALL OF US I THINK THAT REALLY HELPED TO MAKE US ALL FEEL AT EASE.
SO I SAY A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO THE AUDIENCE.
AND OF COURSE IT WAS ALL IN FUN SO NO HARD FEELINGS TOWARDS THE JUDGES. THANKS HERBY WALLACE, LANA, AND JOE WRIGHT.

To all the Idols selectees,
I'm sure the judges had a difficult time in selecting the final winner..
I have been priveleged to share the stage with Jeremy, Joe, and Tyler, many times..and Dale is a great player..I would have had a very tough time selecting one winner..In my mind, you are all winners, and excellent players.
But in a 'contest' ,one has to prevail.My kudos to all of you, and I look forward to seeing you all, and hearing you perform, and if circumstances call, I look forward to sharing your stage.
You are all very professional players, and will entertain many, many fans in your musical future.
Thanks to all of you for your talent, and abilities.
RP...'come on in'... |

I agree that all of you are winners. I was sorta disappointed that they didn't have all of you come back on stage and take a bow.
It takes nerves to play for that crowd and I thought all of you played as well as the seasoned performers. |
