I was really glad to find out that Russ would be around. He's a busy guy, but I had to check, and I'm in luck. I'll be backing Carolyn Martin as a member of her western swing band. I'll play guitar and accordion. There's an amazingly good fiddle player, Billy Contreras, Tommy Wells on drums, and Dave martin (her husband) on bass. Usually there is a steel player too, but not this time.
Looking forward to seeing you Russ, and some cool guitars as well. Talked to Dave and he's cool with staying after the show too if we don't find time before.
See ya soon,
Rory
