Update

Sounds like the Clumsy Lovers have found someone closer to Vancouver to fill their lead spot. Probably just as well. I really liked their stuff but traveling can be hard on the family.

I'm now visiting with the guys from WD-40 about playing with them.
Also might be doing something at the Greely Stampede.

Clumsy Lovers

I've been visiting via email with Chris of the band Clumsy Lovers regarding a position as multi-instrumentalist. Good music and busy schedule. We'll see what happens.

I am the 2005 Rockygrass Dobro Champion

This is the Dobro I won at Rockygrass in Lyons.

I entered the banjo contest with the notion of winning.
When I saw just three entries in the Dobro contest I figured I had a small chance of placing. The first three places paid out $50, $100, a new Model 27 Deluxe Dobro.
What the heck; I could use $50, couldn't everybody?
SURPRISE!

I Just Didn't Know!

So I'm readin' a post on the SGF about the 'famous' folks you've played with and through a stream of consciousness, I end up googling Bobby Rambo with whom I played many gigs in Dallas in the '80s.
I didn't realize he had written songs on Jerry Jeff's recordings; all I knew was he was a HELL of a Tele picker!
I was looking at his Tele before a gig and noticed there was no model name. I had never heard of a 'no'caster before but I knew it sure looked well worn. He said it was insured for $10K and this was around '85! Imagine the price today...
