I wanted to share a link with you all of a country band I played with in Lubbock for many years.. These are parts of a tv show we did in 1990... At the time I was playing a Emmons Legrand... As you will see, I was much younger then:) Hope you enjoy it..

Great videos Wally, enjoyed them immensely. Like the sound of your steel, very West Texasy,(if that's a word).

I think you mentioned that Lloyd Maines was a relative of yours, you guys have a similar sound that I have always liked, which I first heard on early Joe Ely records.

Great Band, thanks for posting, I miss Lubbock!

It must be that Lubbock sound.

Good videos, Wally (and pretty good sound too), enjoyed them and seeing you play.
