The Country Doctors opened for Junior Brown at Fitzgerald's in Chicago last Saturday nite. The Doctors play traditional country music with an excellent steel player, Glenn DiMichele.
Junior was of course fabulous on the guit-steel, even doing a Buddy Charleton tune "Almost To Tulsa."
Junior and a deranged fan. |

Junior is awesome! Saw him in Stoughton Wisconsin earlier this year with some friends. He has still got it. Seeing him in a small venue was great. Wish I could of gone to that one in Chicago, it looked like a good one.

LOL!!!  You crack me up Dan! Hope everything is well with you. This next year at the Southern Illinois Steel show maybe we'll go bigfoot watching again. I think I saw a relative to this one in my yard.

Thanks Frank - you are too kind! At least my hair is combed. It was fun to watch Junior. In the back room he was telling me how he is working on a PEDAL steel he can play while standing up. There is a picture of the guitar on the inside of his new CD. Its two necks with a hinge between them. He said its too heavy, and he was having trouble working the protruding knee levers while standing... I know I'd pay to watch him play it.

Hey Glenn,
Looks like a fun night, the Country Doctors are great guys, I had been doing quite a few shows with them, (with the old Sho-Bud finger tip), until health issues forced me to slow down. I'm recovering from back surgery at the moment. It looks like they found somebody better than me now anyway, ha, with a Franklin no less!
It's good to see Jr. is still gigging, my hat's off to him, it doesn't get any easier the older we get. |

The pedal steel he talked to you about is probably his newest guitsteel, "Old Bud". It's got a Sho-Bud steel on it |

Hi Mark: Yes, it was a fun night, and special because I dug Junior brown even before I started playing steel (Bass is my main instrument, and I've only been playing steel for 18 years - so I'm still a beginner). I'd like to hear you play sometime - Bill said he misses you. I'd probably say you were better than me - I guess that's the "never satisfied" steel player thing. As far as the Franklin - I got lucky. I had a single-neck student Zum for a year or so, and ordered the Franklin from Paul Sr. at the St. Louis show around 1995. I don't remember how long it took him to build it - I think I picked it up the next year. I dig Paul Jr., but I knew Sr. built great guitars, and I didn't buy it just because Jr. played one. I even went to a local kitchen supply store to look at "Wilson Art" formica because Sr. said I could pick out my own color - that was great. I asked Paul Sr. to sign it underneath, and when I got the guitar, I found that both Sr. and Jr. had signed it underneath. The guitar just gets better and better, but maybe that's just practice... I think I will wear out before the guitar does.
