Here is a pic from tonight's gig at a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Austin. What a pleasure to play for the prez and a thrill to get to shake his hand. I couldn't be quite sure what he said when he came over but I swear I thought I heard him say, "Push-pull?"

When I saw the pic on the front page of the paper this morning, I noticed they mentioned the name of the band and everyone was in the pic except the steel player. Left wing conspiracy? OK, maybe not. Way cool fer you! |

Oh, just for the record, my previous post was in jest. (I'm no dummy; I know that the moon launch probably wasn't photoshopped.)
Congrats, Marty! (I bet you'll never wash that hand again, right?) _________________ www.JimCohen.com

Ahhhh Man, didn't you guys know that ole Barack likes alot of Steel when he's listenin to his favorite country tunes. He's even got his self a bar and some picks. Afterall he was from Hawaii where Steels were born. I'm glad to see the Prez has a very discriminating taste, and is able to pick out that classic tone that only comes from a Emmons push-pull
