    It is the one and the same.....Ben Hall from Okalona, Mississippi! I had lunch with him yesterday at The Country Music Hall of Fame. Russell and I were so happy to have met this fine young man when he first came to Nashville a couple of years ago. He is a great fiend and we feel like he's family. Not a better talent and you would be hard pressed to find that MUCH talent in another young man than what you find in Ben Hall.
    Does your friend, Palmer, ever book country music singers in the club? If he does, have him call me. I would love to come and pick and sing. If he would like, it could be Ben Hall and me. We do a great duet together.

    Let me know!

    James,
    You're preaching to the quire but thanks for speaking up. I hope the powers that be hear you too. I used to keep my radio tuned to country music 24/7 but I can't remember the last time I tuned into a modern country station. If I want to hear rock music I will tune to a rock station.

    Thanks again for speaking up.

    It really is a small world Diane. I belong to a guitar club here in Columbus, Ohio called Ohio Fingerstyle Guitar Club Or OFGC. Google that to find the website. It was organized by Palmer Moore to promote the thumb style picking of Chet Adkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed etc. Palmer goes to the Chet Adkins Convention in Nashville every year. He told me about meeting this fantastic 16 yr old Merle Travis style picker about five years ago by the name of Ben Hall. Palmer booked him to play for our club this past Thursday night. What a nice clean cut young man he was. I enjoyed his performance better than anyone that we have had. He is Merle Travis re-incarnated. I didn't put two and two together at the time but he has to be the same Ben Hall that plays behind you in the Videos on Rudi's web site. If so ask him if he knows Palmer Moore from Columbus, Ohio and tell him that we really appreciate him driving all the way up here just to perform for us. We hope to see and hear him again at the Chet Adkins Convention this summer.

    It has to be a pleasure to have someone of his caliber to play behind your singing.

    Keep on keeping on and take care and as Roy Rogers used to say,"May the good Lord take a liking to you."
