Well thank you!, He plays pedal steel and had always played country western, but big Moe wanted him in the blues band so he went with him. He also plays in the church band once a mo. Played alot of bars in the beginning in the country band. Another country band wants him, but he told them he just didn't have enough time. He works his regular job, they come out and help us, then there is practice, the country band was for part of the door, that just doesn't get it. Then there is work at his house, although his wife does alot of it so he doesn't have to, then there is fishing, can't leave that out. If the creeks slow down enough to be able to fish them with all the high water. They play at th Fire on the Mountain festival in Sanora, Ca. some time in the summer, forget, then in July they are playing at a blues thing in Taho, Nv. I know there are a few others already booked, just can't remember them. He isn't a young fellow any more, heading towards 60, so don't have the energy that was there in his young days. If he didn't have to work a regular job it would be different. He sings some also. But his isn't the screaming kind. best wishes to your grand nephew. It is fun, I wouldn't have the nerve myself.
