Saw him play on the GOO, he had all those Emmons chops down.

How long ago did you see him play. Can't tell you much, but I know He played for Milsap for several years. Last I heard was that He had serious health problems and was not able to play anymore. Would like to know more myself.

The fretboard cam is Dickie Overbey. In fact both clips are Dickie.

| I seem to recall my friend, the late L. C. Agnew told me that Bruce Brooks was once a member of L. C.’s house band at his Ponderosa Ballroom in Abilene, Texas before going to Nashville? That was years ago, but I think that’s right? |

There is an Austin City Limits show with Bruce. I just watched it the other night.

Thanks for those clips, Jeff! Milsap was a real treasure...would you belive 35 #1 hits?! 
I love those little flurries Bruce plays in between the vocals near the end in the second clip. But judging by the answers in the "Performance etiquette" thread, many of the old-timers here would call that downright overplaying. I really dig that kinda stuff though; it's unobtrusive, down in the mix (the player knows dynamics), and it adds some "spice" to an otherwise (IMHO) boring song. 
Maybe I'm the youngest "old-timer" here?  |
