The theme for this week’s show is Bob Wills favorites. The salute features a couple of Bob Wills recordings, including a very rare cut with Tommy Doss on vocal, as well as Wills favorites from some of today’s top names in Western Swing. Cuts by Bad Bob Rohan, Bill Gilbert, Jim Garling and Cowbop are included in addition to a cut from Steve Alcott’s brand new play-a-long CD. There are also cuts from hit CDs by Ray Harrison (with awesome John Hughey-steel), Brady Bowen and John England and the Western Swingers. There are also some wonderful steel players saluting Wills such as France’s Lionel Wendling and a cut from a brand new CD by Bill Stafford.
You will also enjoy cuts from hit CDs by Cody Dodson, the Bobby Lueders Band and Paul Main. The closing theme is done by steel guitarist Tony Farr.

Mike, all you do for our wonderful steel guitar world and the music we all enjoy is most appreciated. Thanks so much for your consideration to play my music. Please give Gene Breeden all the credit for engineering and playing on my new CD "Unforgettable Melodies". Gene gave me another "A" team for this session and special acclaim to Sam Hunter, the session 15 year old bass player. Jamie Knowles on piano, Gene on acoustic and lead, Barry Wayne-drums and Billy Anderson-engineer. Gene did the mix down the next morning and added his lead parts at that time also. One amazing musician here folks and I highly recommend the Breeden Studio there in Nashville. Gene has recorded many steel players in his studi . (Just ask Scotty). I am so honored that he lets me in that door, and that you allow me on your program, Mike.
Thanks again for this feature on your program.

Thanks ever so much for the bump, your nice comments and the background of your wonderful new CD.
Tomorrow's show heard in Connecticut on FM and world wide on the Internet is a show from the Bob Wills library and it will include Jesse Ashlock's "The Kind of Love I Can't Forget" from your beautiful new CD.

Mike, just want to thank you for the nice review in this months PSG newsletter. It was an honor for me to take part in Paul Mains western swing album. For the record (no pun intended), I did it all on the E9 neck. (the only one I have on my Emmons SD-10). We're planning another next spring.
