A bump for Mike's last show of the 2008 year.
Be sure to keep tuning in next year also for some good music.

Laurie & Don,
Thanks ever so much for the bump and in advance for the listen. Laurie, it will be my pleasure to include a winter pop standard cut from Roy's brand new Holiday CD. Don, it is my pleasure to include one from your first CD from a few years back on this show. I can't tell you both how much I appreciate the bumps.
A very Healthy and Happy 2009!

Hey Mike, I'll be listening - along with a couple of friends who are dropping over tomorrow.
They've never heard your show before, so it's time to educate them!

Thanks, buddy! I sure would appreciate that. I can't wait to get your new CD on my shows. I have already recorded a show with a cut.

Mike, hope the coming New Year is very prosperous, happy and healthy for you and yours. Thanks for all you do for our wonderful steel guitar world and I am humbled that you chose to play my "Unforgettable" selection on your last show of the year. Most appreciated. Hope to see you and all our friends in Texas.

This is a great show!
I'm sitting here with my 2 buddies Jorge and Scott - and we're enjoying it immensely.

Rick and friends,
Thanks ever so much for the nice comments! I apologize for the mess-up somewhere. They are for some reason replaying one of my shows from back in September as opposed to today's scheduled show. Glad that you are enjoying it anyway!

Mike, I noticed the severe deviation from the playlist you posted.
I was looking forward to hearing Don Sulesky's rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love . .
But it was a wonderful program in any case - a great way to spend an hour! |

Double post.
I got a debug error.
Very strange indeed. |

Don, thanks so much for sending me the MP3 of Can't Help Falling In Love.
That's always been one of my favorite songs, and you did such a nice rendition of it.
See you at the TSGA Jamboree!
I wish Mike was going to Dallas too - we sure could use a good emcee at the Non Pedal Session . . |
