Slide & Steel was Cool!



We had soooo much fun in Port Townsend, WA.
Thanks to all my students for their patience and progress. Thanks to Stacy Phillips and Billy Cardine for their generosity in co-teaching with me. Thanks to Peter McCracken for hiring us!
The venue - Fort Worden is an amazingly lovely spot, particularly this time of year.
wow.

I played a bunch with steel guitar legend Bobby Black and he is an amazing player and a very fine person as is fellow steel guitarist Joe Wright. Those guys made me fall in love with clasic country all over again.
Add in Billy Cardine - red-hot Dobroist and dynamic vocalist Mary Lucey (shown above), not to mention fiddler/singer Odessa Jorgensen (shown with Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum) and fun was on the menu.

Special Thanks to Ghost Jerry Fletcher for teaching Sight Reading for Singers and putting a bunch of us well on the road to better sight reading.

We are off to do more playing - I hope we see you out there!
