I am revising the Bud Isaacs entry for the Country Music Hall of Fame's Encyclopedia of Country Music.
Two questions (1) Is Bud Isaacs still performing and (2) is he still performing with Geri Mapes.
Thanks in advance for any info.

We had an 80th Birthday Bash for Bud in Yuma this past March. He is not preforming but he and got up and told some stories that were great.
Plans are to have that event every year. We were expecting 2 to 300 and estimates were closer to 1,000 or more. Nokie Edwards (of Venture's fame) and Bobby Gibson were also there plus steel players from Texas, Canada, California and many more places. I emceed the event and it was an honer for me to be a small part.
He usually comes to the Phoenix Show in January (I think he has only missed one because of some illness.)

Joe, my cousin lives in Yuma and knows Bud and Geri. She was at their party in March. Here are a couple of pictures...You may know the Steelman in one of the photos. Who are the band members?

| Joe Naylor can probably tell you who all played, but in the picture I can see Denney Sarver on his Ampeg upright bass (he plays with Three Wheel Drive and did the SWSGA show last January), looks like Albert Talley - president of TSGA on steel. I can't make out the others. |
