I think Webb Pierce recorded "There Stands The Glass" too. Great stuff Bob! Do you guys play "Round Midnight"? |

Thanks for the kind words.
Needless to say, I love this band for the variety.
There Stands The Glass is one of my favorite country songs.
Unfortunately, we do not do the great classic Round Midnight.
Once in a while our lead singer Ted Hawkins sings Night Life.
Thanks again for listening!

Bob...excellent mon ami. This group swings with a capital "S". The videos sort of reminded me of a group like the Time Jumpers...the swing and joy in the music. This group would be great in a live gig situation, with people dancing and grooving. Even "Well you needn't" would have made the crowd dance. Like I said, this group swings with a capital "S" |

Love the sound of the band. Is the guitar player playing a Excelsior amp? The bass amp looks like one of the old flip top Ampeg. |

Thanks again for the nice words!
I agree!
This rhythm section swings really well. We have a lot of fun!
Kevin Walsh uses a flip top Ampeg bass amplifier.
Nichol Robertson uses a Fender Excelsior Pro Guitar amplifier.
Check out Nichol's site.

Ken - I had the pleasure of jamming with Charlie at the Firehouse a few times. We always have a great time! Anybody can join in!

David - As far as teaching steel guitar is concerned, I love it especially when the students share my passion for this wonderful instrument. You are one of them!
Thanks again for listening!

That's very cool your guitar player uses an Excelsior. For a vintage style tone its great. You guys have a great sound and presence. I'd pay to see that. |

BOB - Let me know when you will be returning to the area, I would like to jam with you & the gang at the Firehouse.
How did you like the squeeze box guy. I think he is from Canada & is French.

Great stuff. Lifted my spirits on a downer day.
What's the name of that Latin/exotica instrumental? My memory isn't what it used to be. (I think.) |
