Well I just got off the phone with Billy Easton and he has invited me back to this great show. I played this show in 2005 and I can't say enough about it. It is without a doubt one of the finest shows in the Country. Everything is done first class. The hotel is great, the backup band is one of the finest there is and the lineup of players is also excellent. I am really looking forward to this great show, so I hope to see all of you there.

We again will have the A Team of backup bands...I spoke with Roy Rosetta today, and the boys are getting ready for the Arizona show. That would include Roy, Paul Polish, Ben Brogdon and Leon Chambers. There will also be some surprise guests to make this show the best ever.
Jody Cameron, we will miss you, but of course we understand. Maybe you can make the next show. There will always be room for your great pickin'.

Well, if Herb's comin', I'm comin'. And looks like I'll be bringing along my son, Jaji, to play alto sax on my set. He played on my last two CDs ('Four to the Bar' and 'Home James') so maybe we can get some of those tunes going.
See ya there!
