| I'll be in the San Francisco area doing a one-nighter on Father's Day and I'm staying until Wednesday. Is there anywhere to go to see some steel-guitarist? Thanks,Marty B. |

| Billy, we're playing a Cajun Festival around the Antioch area. I've slept too many times to remember the exact name and place and time. I know that's lame but I'm getting old!! I'm working with Wayne Toups and there's suppossed to be lots of other La. based artists there. My wife and I are making a mini-vacation out of it. While I am there I was hoping to go see some local players and try to learn something. If you go to Wayne's website: www.waynetoups.com the exact name/place of the festival should be there. Best regards, Marty B. |

| Thanks, Marty. I'm not seeing anything with steel on the various schedules around here. There are, however, lots of great steel players working shows around here.(Bobby Black, David Phillips, Joe Goldmark etc, etc) I think its is great that Wayne is carrying a steel player with him these days. I'm a huge fan of (and atempter at) the Cajun style of steel playing. I checked the web site for that festival and you got alot of great, big time Louisiana talent on the line up. Do a search on California Cajun Festival and you'll see what I mean. |

Billy, thanks for the names..those are the guys I'm looking for. If anyone knows where these guys might be playing during my stay I'd love to know about it. I want to go watch them when we get finished with "the bridge, the prison, and china town thing." BTW, I apologize for not knowing more about the venue...with 3 kids and a full time job I rely on our road manager to call me weekly and tell me where/when and I show up. Best regards, Marty B.  |

Well, I'm not from San Francisco, but my band, Amee Chapman and the Big Finish, will be playing in the city at Hotel Utah, on Wed. night 6/22 (if you haven't already left). Starts at 9:00, and this is one gal worth hearing sing (same can be said for my pretty blonde Carter S12). If I don't see ya, have a great time in Frisco!

So you'll be playing the California Cajun Festival, eh? Cool.
I don't see a lot going on that weekend on the Hicks with Sticks calendar. Many people are going to be at the California Bluegrass Association Father's Day in Grass Valley.
I would check out the North Beach Festival in San Francisco if I were you. It should be a beautiful weekend in San Francisco![This message was edited by Brad Bechtel on 14 June 2005 at 02:29 PM.] |

| Hey folks, I appreciate the info. I'll check with my wife to see when our flight leaves. I think it's late..if so..I'll try to get over to see whoever I can. I'm thinking it's a bad sequence of nights to be looking for a live band, but I want to at least try my luck. My best, Marty B. |
