Why, Steve McDaniel is a really good friend of ours. He came into Rudi's almost every day for coffee and conversation. I've heard him sing. He's really good!
I know he and his wife lost nearly everything in the flood, bless their hearts. They're very sweet people.
Russell and I didn't get any flood damage. We live on a hill in Hendersonville and all the water was below us.
Many people weren't so lucky.
Nice website. Thank you for sharing. Your pictures aren't ugly! I like Bluegrass music. I worked with Grandpa Jones and Ramona for two years when I still lived in Arkansas. And I work with Roni Stoneman (from Hee Haw) now and then. She is a real hoot! She is a master on the banjo and she sings so pretty. She is a wonderful person with a big heart. I had lunch with her today.
Most everyone I've met in this business is a very nice person. There are always exceptions...but I don't dwell on those. There are enough great people to block out the rest!
Wow! Woman, you sure have been around. I would have killed to have done the things you have done. I am so happy for you and you are still doing the things I like to do.
At the present I am playing in a little acoustic band with a bluegrass flavor. We have a web site www.looselystrung.com. Check out our ugly pictures.ha ha. I am the one with the banjo.
I was just wondering. Did the flood cause you any problem? A friend of mind Steve McDaniel who used to come into Rudi's grew up with me in Garrison, Ky.
He got flooded really bad and lost nearly everything he had. You may know him. He tried to make the big time years ago. He did perform at Renfro Valley one time. He was always talking about you,Leon Rhodes, Jack Green and the old stars that came to Rudi's on a regular basis.
As always, keep pickin and singin.
Yes, Ted. I know Tom T. Hall. The first time I was ever on the same show as Tom T. was in 1982 at Opryland. I worked in one of the shows and Tom T. came to us to film one of his weekly television shows. The band I was in at the time picked for him while he sang and I got to take a lead part on guitar on one of the songs. I was nervous, but thrilled. Then I worked on a show in Peterborough, England with Johnny Russell and Tom T. Hall was on the same show. The latest opportunity I've had to work with Tom. T. Hall was on one of Charlie Louvin's albums (titled simply, Charlie Louvin). Tom T. sang on one of the songs with us. Bobby Bare, George Jones, Elvis Costello and many others were also on that album.
I think we must be on the same page....you're right.
And I think you may have enjoyed growing up in Dardanelle, Arkansas like I did. My family was always well liked...we were always happy and I think it showed!
