Man we had some fun. Played at a small, really cool bar in Bridgeport, TX called Red's. Friday night was pretty cool, but Sat. night we had the honor of having a steel player named Dick Woods sit in with us all night. Don't know if some of the DFW Texas guys on here know him, but he plays with the band West of Nowhere who are starting to get some airplay here in the Metroplex.

Anyway, this guy is phenominal on steel guitar. Absolutely the smoothest player I've ever heard, and I've had the good luck of playing with some pretty dang good pickers. We've played with him once before and he sounded great, but last night was just awesome.

We do mostly covers, couple of originals. My favorite that we do is "Please Please Baby" by Dwight Yoakum, mostly because I get to cut loose on that one and it gets the crowd going. Now I thought I could play that one pretty well, but I had never heard a really cookin' steeler play that one before, well, I was just dumbstruck. Almost forgot to start singing the last chorus of the song.

Sorry this is so long, but if you ever get a chance to see this guy play, don't miss it, cause he can really make that steel sing. Also, isn't it amazing how much better you tend to play when you have someone playing with you that is a high caliber player!!!
