| Hey, it's your gig, but did you know that there are some pretty good pedal steelers over in Ireland? Richard Nelson in Drogheda, County Louth, is a forumite and a fine player. |

| Last time I worked with Stonewall was about 20 years ago at Peterborough Country music Festival..... We got along just fine! I would give it a go if it does`ent clash with the Nashville Nights Show Date wise??? |

As it turns out, I'll be coming to Ireland with Stonewall. I'm really looking forward to seeing the country that my ggg grandfather Moses Sweeney came from in 1753.
I also hope to see some of you guys there too.

Hey you cat's in Ireland, you must get out and see Mike Sweeney play.
He is top shelf.
But Richard Nelson would have been a great choice too,
And my buddy John Davis, already did the gig too, once upon a time.[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 31 January 2005 at 07:56 AM.] |

Manfred,
No, still no show dates as of yet. But as soon as I know I'll post them.
As far as c.d.'s go I'll be bringing some with me.
I hope that we get to go to Donegal as that's where my family tree started it's roots.
