Another great show! This time there was plenty of parking, not hard to find, plenty of seating and those who smoke could still see and hear the show from the bar in the next room. Thanks Jan, Smiley, Joan and the rest of you guys who work so hard to see that everything goes so well.

I want to thank Smiley for asking me to play at the SuperJam last night. I had a great time. I was a little surprised at the turnout; I figured there would be more people there, especially at our new place, the American Legion Post 88 in Donelson. Lots of room, and we even had some folks there that enjoyed dancing. Those of you who weren't there..it was a good show all the way around. Jack Heern, Rob Parker, and Dan Dowd played a great set together, and Rob did some singing, which is always a treat. I got to share the stage with Malcolm Kirby and Larry Dolan for the next set. Malcolm and Larry..you both sounded great. David Spires, Mike Jones, and Stu Basore all had a wonderful last set. Our next SuperJam will be in January next year. So if you weren't able to make this one, plan on the next one. We sure do manage to have a fun time

My thanks to Smiley and the NTSGA for asking me to play. What a great time and show for 5 dollars. Rob Parker, you played great and thanks for singing with Stu, David and myself on our set. It was a honor to set behind you. Joan Cox, what a great player, you have a nice touch and great tone and a vast assortment of licks.
All the players really played great! For those that missed it it was a dandy show.
Thanks,
Mike "Cookie" Jones

I don't know how Smiley did it.. He was really tired from the 1300 miles we drove that nite and day to get there.I was just getting home in Fla when your show concluded... You folks can sure be proud of Smiley...He represented NTSGA well. He played some fabulous steel up in new england two nites before....I need some of his energy...must be the hot dogs.Certainly it ain't the beans.  Then again you never know.

Thanks Mike..that means alot coming from you. It was good to hear you too. You probably won't remember this because it was a long time ago, at least 20 years or so. I was playing at a bar in Missouri close to where I was living at the time. I hadn't been playing very long. It was right across from a motel that ran along the road in Wentzville, MO. The other guys in the band told me that Barbara Mandrell was across the street because the bus was over there. I just figured they were telling me a lie, you know, trying to make me scared or something. Anyway, closer to the end of the night, I was on the stage, and someone was standing in the door of the bar (it was summertime, so they left the door open. That someone, it turns out was you. I'll just tell you that I was a little concerned because everytime I'd look up, you were watching me. I was beginning to get a little scared because I was by myself, and didn't really know what to do. By the way, I didn't know it was you. Anyway, we finished up around 1:00 in the morning, and you came over and said something nice to me and complimented my playing. I remember asking you if you played..you said "yeah, I play. And then when you said you played for Barbara, I knew the guys had been telling me the truth. I hadn't put my guitar in the case yet, and asked if you would like to play. You did, and I think my mouth went the floor. The guys never let me live that one down. Thanks for being nice to me and encouraging me way back then. It's good to have you in our club too.

I only came in here to make a wise crack about smoking, but then I got to reading Joan's story. Nice story...
Now Mike should tell us what it was like playing steel for a "girl singer" who also plays some steel? You know, was she ever helpful, critical or neither? I understand that Barbara's dad was a friend of Norm Hamlet.

Joan,
I remember that, we were staying in Wentzville because we had a couple of days off and the guitar player & drummer was from there. Dave Powelson played guitar and Randy Wright was the drumer and we had to play the MO. state fair in a day or so. I didn't remember that the steel player was you though. I was impressed with your playing back then and even more so later at the show I've seen you play at.
Barbara was a good steel player, she didn't play E9th a lot but, was a terror on C6th. She was taught by Norm Hamlett and was a fast learner. She had a fast right hand and was very accurate, she rarely messed any of her solos up. She was always a fan of the instrument and knew all the player and respected them. She was one of my biggest fans and I always had to keep my "Chops" up. During a performance she would hear if you played something out of the ordinary and would turn and look at you and just grin. If you screwed up you would hear about that too. She was a great boss and I miss working with her.

Smiley, and the NTGSA.,
I want to express my thanks and appreciation for the nice comments about the jam...I really do thank you for the invite..although at the time I did not think it was a good idea...ha...
All the players did a great job and I really enjoyed them..and it was really great getting to work with Stu,David and Mike...such talented players and great showmen...thank you for letting me set in....
As always,Joan was her slick picking self,and with Larry and my buddy Malcolm,they played a great set...
And it was good to see some friends there,that I had not seen in a long time...
Jack and Dan were really pumped up....they enjoyed it also,even tho they said they were 'nervous'....if I can play like they did,I want to be nervous also....
Thanks again Smiley....
RP..."come on in'... |

| Rob, nervous isn’t the word. Imagine folks having John Hughey, Buddy Emmons, Lloyd Green, Russ Hicks, Tommy White, and many other great pickers in the audience, including the pickers on the show. It’s enough to cause ones heart to pump a little faster and get the adrenalin flowing. It was a real honor to be invited to play the first show at the new location. Also a special thanks to Smiley and the club for inviting me. |

| Rob Parker, Dan Dowd and Jack Heern, that was the best 1st set I've heard so far at a Superjam and I've played 2 of them! Joan, your playing is always a joy to hear. I enjoy your taste and style. Malcom Kirby knocked me down with his playing and Larry Dolan can play his butt off when he wants to. Mike Jones, David Spires & Stu, I thoroughly enjoyed your set. All I can say is that it was FIRST CLASS! Those of you who chose not to come out and be a part of Tuesday night missed out on a great evening of great players. Thank you all for a wonderful night of music. |

I did a few photo's of the "SuperJam 11".
They can be viewed at:
Http://photos.yahoo.com/crookwf
Double click on the Super Jam 11 album.
_____________________________________________
This was a real special time for us. We had relocated the SuperJams to a new location and I think that it was a most sucessfully change. A lot more parking area,better view of the performance stages, and a really good sound.
Enjoy the photo's and refer to this post of the NTSGA SuperJam 11 for the players.
