About time you got yerself a "normal" band, Bob!

By the way, I see you're the only "chordal" instrument in the mix, so you'll have your hands full! Enjoy!

Jim,
I wish you where here to sit in. You would eat this stuff up on the C neck. I'm getting a little better at faking it which seems to be good enough.

Bob, the "GG" also stops at that station, it did when I was assigned to District 20 as a NYC Transit Cop back in 1988, if your gig that you are about to perform in was back then, I came up for some air and stop to pay you a visit, not too many steel players in that part of BROOKLYN. Did you ever get to play at the "O.K. Corral" in Flushing back in the mid 80's?????

Kenneth,
Brooklyn has been changing real fast. Billsburg is now a trendy and expensive place to live. Its weird. Lots of young trendyish people. Plenty of odd little bands with guys hackin away at steel guitars playing at the bars. I bought my first steel in 88 and was playing at this cajun style place called the Gulf Coast on the west side. Brooklyn is still a great place.
