Heart Of Texas CMA cruise...What a ride..

Don Ricketson · From: Llano, Texas

WOO HOO! I'm just back off a Heart Of Texas Country Music Association Carribean cruise. Talk about dining with the stars. We had two shows with who else...Hank Thompson, Darrell McCall, Mona McCall, Cody McCall, Leona Williams, Justin Trenino, Ferlin Husky, AND Simon Crum

For all those who are old enough to remember

. I didn't play steel on this one. Benny Kothmann did. My wife and I just went along for the ride. Tony Pickens played fiddle and Shane Lively played drums. This was all put together by Tracy Pitcox from KNEL Radio in Brady Tx. The same one that puts on the Llano and Mason Country Oprys. If you want to go on the next one check out www.hillbillyhits.com

Sounds like a lot of fun. I lost track of Benny many years ago. Does he have an email address?

Lee, Benny lives in Menard Tx. He played for Johnny Bush for awhile, now he's slowed down like most of us. Just playing Oprys and a few weekend gigs. I'll email you his e-address. Don.

Thanks, Don. He was playing for Bush when I met him. That was the first time I saw a Blanton steel. It sounded real nice.

Yeah.....Playing great....with taste and tone..tone...tone .

Hey, Tree. You don't have to worry about KP duty on those crusises. They have about 90 or so Chefs that take care of that.All you have to do is EAT,EAT,EAT. Like we had plenty of roast duck, lobster tails, escargoit tails(sp) hot dog tails, hamburgers with the works and fried cheekin'. Then you wouldn't beleive what's for desert.
