First of all, I wanted to say thanks to all the nice folks I visited with at the Texas Steel Guitar Jamboree once again. It’s truly a delightful experience for me every year.
Second, I would like to tell you what a fun ride it has been to be involved with Ronnie’s Brothers, Legends, and Friends project. I’m so humbly honored that Ronnie would ask a rusty old hack like me to play on it. Hopefully, as part of showing my appreciation and honor, I was stoked to have the opportunity to help Ronnie with a few other things on the project. I developed the ronniemillermusic.com website, generated the CD artwork, listened to mixes, and helped Ronnie with the publishing details. I’ve known Ronnie for a long time, but this project brought us closer together, and I can’t say enough good things about the man. This is not work, its fun!
Since the completion of the project, one of the things I do is moderate the comments posted on the website. I have a very good spam filter plug-in, so I have a high assurance that every comment posted will be from a real person. In addition to these comments, Ronnie copies me on some of the various comments he gets from emails. Since Ronnie is not one to toot his own horn, and since I had the comments from the website, I thought I would share a few with you.
“Ronnie has done both John and me high honor with this CD since it is a classic masterpiece with his exceptional playing and interpretations along with the Pridesmen.”
