I've been playing dance halls, bars, coffee shops and all sorts of places with some very talented people. here is some stuff I have coming up over the next week or so:<br /><br />Weds 7/21 7:30 to 9:30 I'm playing with <a href="http://www.web-ho.com/JeniferJackson/"> Jenifer Jackson</a> at Botticelli's on South Congress in Austin. Lucy will be there !<br /><br />Thurs 7/22 5:15 to 6:15 with <a href=" http://www.peteminda.com/"> Pete Minda</a> at Momo's in Austin<br /><br />Friday 7/23 with <a href=" http://www.myspace.com/brianpounds/"> Brian Pounds</a> in Dallas at The Opening Bell Coffeehouse<br /><br />Saturday 7/24 with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bluebroussardband"> The Blue Broussard band</a> at the Cheatham St. Warehouse in San Marcos<br /><br />Monday and Tues 7/26 and 7/27 Playing a corporate gig of some sort with local Austin legend Shae who needs no last name up in Dallas<br /><br />Weds 7/28 I'm playing with <a href="http://www.web-ho.com/JeniferJackson/"> Jenifer Jackson</a> at Flipnotics in Austin from 6:00 till 7:30<br /><br />7/29, 7/30, 7/31 In Vinton, Louisiana at the Delta Downs Casino with <a href=" http://www.myspace.com/brianpounds/"> Brian pounds</a>. Full band. Also Brian and I are doing a duet thing in Lake Charles on the 31st at the Porch Coffeehouse.<br /><br />I am starting to put my own band together also. We will be playing music that is in the lofty world of self indulgence with no particular purpose. I am hoping to use the medieval practice of the hocket while playing The Girl from Ipanema at some point in public. I tell you the will kids go nuts for that shit !<br /><br />Oh yea, I got a cowboy hat and figured out how to make my delay pedal make everything go backwards so all is well.Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17400327165107475802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440340.post-18625290899271742412010-04-26T21:52:00.000-07:002010-04-26T21:58:10.734-07:00Its been a yearI will not be playing any more gigs with Wayne Hancock.

I've been so busy rockin for the people on my steel guitar that I have been neglecting the internet. I figured it would get by fine without me for a couple weeks. I was thinking about learning how to work on my website because it is getting patheticly out of date. But every time I think about learning that stuff I find myself more interested in transrcibing a Johnny Hodges solo. Or walking around with my dog. Or eating a cookie. Or taking a nap.... <br /><br />Anyway here is what is coming up:<br /><br />May 21 9:30 Smokey's Roundup at Sunny's bar 253 Conover St.Red Hook, Brooklyn<br /> 718-625-8211<br />May 22 8:00 Smokey's Roundup plays in Williamsburg ! Sound Fix 110 Bedford Ave<br /> (718) 388-8090 http://www.soundfixrecords.com/<br />May 23 10:00 Sean Kershaw at <a href="http://www.hillcountryny.com/"> Hill Country</a><br />may 25 Brunch with Jan Bell at <a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/superfine/"> Superfine</a> in Dumbo <br /> Then at 10:00 is the LAST Sean Kershaw steady sunday at <a href="http://www.exitfive.com/hankssaloon/default.html">Hank's </a> ! We will be back once a month so don't worry too much. It should be a great night. Hopefully we will play the new tune about the Trannie and the Trucker. <br />may 27 <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mamieminch"> Mamie Minch</a>. Mamie is the bomb. here is some info about this show:<br /><br /><a href="http://unionhallny.com/"> Union Hall</a><br />Union Hall- CD RELEASE SHOW!!!! I will be sitting in on a couple tunes I recorded on.<br />702 Union Street @ 5th Ave. in Park Slope, Brooklyn!!, New York 11215<br />may 28 Smokey back at Sunny's<br />may 29 Smokey's Roundup at <a href="http://www.ottosshrunkenhead.com/"> Otto’s </a> on 14th st in manhattan.<br />May 30 daytime private party for the legendary Ricky from Hank's at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. It will be daytime and weird. I helped open up that place back when I had a job about 20 years ago. One of my first steel guitar gigs was playing with Patsy Montana at the Cowgirl back then. I was one of those mid level management guys with a couple screws loose that just sorta wandered off the grid. The things I wanted cost time instead of money and the job thing was really cutting into my day.Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17400327165107475802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440340.post-63261980300720155502008-04-09T10:39:00.000-07:002008-05-19T00:12:26.090-07:00april 9 to 16April 9th weds:9:30 Smokey's Roundup at Sunny's bar 253 Conover St.Red Hook, Brooklyn<br /> 718-625-8211<br /><br />April 13th sunday 10:00: Sean Kershaw at <a href="http://www.exitfive.com/hankssaloon/default.html">Hank's </a>Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17400327165107475802noreply@blogger.com0
