Stu, I met Thad once about a year and a half ago and enjoyed hearing his playing at a festival gig. Nice guy. He's living in the the greater Rochester NY area but I don't have his contact info. Not sure whether he follows the forum but if I catch him again I'll mention that you're asking.

Stu, I did a quick search and might be him that lives in Hamlin, NY. 73 years old.
Other search said he played with the John Beland version of the Burritos.

I knew Thad when he was in Swampwater and I was living in LA. I'm still in touch with my pal John Beland and I'll bet he knows how to contact Thad. I think Thad became a college professor when he grew up.
Seventy-three would be the correct age for the gentleman.

Hi Herb. Next time you write to John, tell him hi from Chris, formerly with Oliver. I met him and Swampwater guys in, I think, NYC, in the early 70s.
BTW I love your Western swing album! Go it on CD. In fact I play once a month with a similar group here in the Wild West . . .of Southern New England.

Chris, why don't you simply "friend" John on FB?

| Hi guys, Thad Maxwell here, just joined. You have me figured out. I remember Chris when Swampwater opened for Oliver at the Bitter End in NYC. Herbie, long time no talk. I'm in Houston now, gigging with Moses Rangel. Mostly guitar, not steel. |

Hi Thad! Yes, the Bitter End. I remember you and John B. That was, um, a few decades ago.
After the Oliver gig ended, I worked out of Houston for 3 years and played with pianist/composer/educator Paul English, well known about town. You may have run into him. Anyway, good to read your name again.
Herb, I still haven't joined Facebook.  |

| Thad Maxwell -- just so you know, Stu, who started this post, left us last July, so that's why he's not here to greet you. |

| I've known Thad for quite a while. He is one of the nicest and most talented people I've ever met . Sure do miss him since he moved to Houston. Miss our playing together. |
