This was Saturday, January 17th in Ft Myers. They're both a delight to work with - Jeannie did a set on her own, then Jack, with Jeannie joining him on a couple of songs.
They're both outstanding professionals - and it was good to be back on stage with Jeannie; I worked in Atlantic City with her in 2000.
That's my second Fender Custom Shop 'thin skin' Telecaster, by the way. Another great guitar - I'm a lucky chap!

| Very cool, Roger. Looks like you are really enjoying yourself. I'd like to read your musical bio sometime, if you have one available. Sounds like you have a rich musical life. |

Nice of you to say so, Chris, but I'm really something of a 'bottom-feeder' in the music business. I do usually manage to enjoy myself, though, and there are worse ways to make a living. It's hardly been a stellar career so far, but perhaps it's not too late  !
Thanks for your response. There is no resume as such, although there are a couple of shamelessly self-promoting pictures on the sites below....

Jack and Jeannie are two of the nicest artists in Nashville. I was working Robert's last summer during Fan Fair and Jack came in and did a couple with us, and he hasn't lost a thing; sings as great as ever. Jeannie and Faron co-hosted some TV show ON TNN in the 80's and Faron told us they had to do some serious re-takes and editing because of language. (Jeannie's "one of the guys" if ya get my drift.)

Right, Cal! When she and I were at the Claridge Casino in Atlantic City back in 2000, I think we shared three meals a day together for over two months. She's a funny lady with a fund of stories, but also kind and considerate.
We also went together to see Buddy and Albert Lee down at Harrah's (I think) with the Everly Brothers - Fridays were 'dark' for us, which happily coincided with one of the Everly shows. Another night of hilarity, I can tell you....

Hence the nickname, "Catfish" Rettig.
