Don,

Thanks so very much for the kind words and the bump. It is great to see someone that appreciates the steel guitarists of Ray Price.

I also managed to squeeze a cut from one of your CDs today where you both play steel and sing.

Thanks again!

I've had the same problem since 11:50am CDT.............

Roger Edgington · From: San Antonio, Texas USA

Thank God, I thought it was just me.

Mike Gross · From: Manchester, Connecticut, USA

Roger & Mike,

Thanks so very much for trying! I can't understand what is going on as I got many calls that the show was coming in great and did get a few callers that echoed your words about problems. It makes no sense! The best bet is to try Windows Media player if Quick Time is off and Vice Versa but they both were working today. It is really weird! I do apologize to you both and do hope that this does not deter you from listening it the future.

The site still does not come up...it's not a matter of Windows Media Player or Quick Time.....swinginwest.com does not come up at all.

Roger Edgington · From: San Antonio, Texas USA

Mike,
Don't worry about me not listening. I think your great. Since Mike & I are both in Texas maybe it was a communication problem between Texas & the United States> LOL

Roger Edgington · From: San Antonio, Texas USA

By the way,
The site is back up.

Mike Gross · From: Manchester, Connecticut, USA

Mike & Roger,

I can't figure that one out as it is my web site and I don't think that it was down but it is possible that it could have been down for awhile when the show was on. For you guys or anybody else if that ever happens you can always pick up the stream off www.wvof.org but their site is much more difficult to navigate.

By the way, I had calls from the Ft. Worth/Dallas area and all was coming in well down that way.

When I tried to access the site to get the play list yesterday it timed out for me, but I tried again, immediately after it timed out and it came up OK.

I have the URL for the show set in Windows Media Player and I can access it directly from WMP, I don't have to go through a web site to get the show.

Buddie Hrabal · From: Arlington,Texas USA

Mike, Thanks for all you do to keep our kind of music going. We need more people like you. I have done a lot of jobs in my career but the job as Ray Price's Steel Guitarist was my highlight. Once again, thanks for all you do.

Jack,

Thanks so very much for being out there yesterday. I really appreciate it very much. It was my pleasure to play your version of "Half A Mind" on the show yesterday. Thanks also for the technical advice on the URL.

Buddie,

Thanks so very much for all of those kind words; they are really appreciated. Although I played something by you with Memory Lane yesterday I really love to go back to that great gig that you and Rich O'Brien did with Ray and the Cowboys in Wheeling WV. I always get nice comments when I play something from that on the show.
