All of these good folks are my friends, but my best
friend of the whole bunch is Barry Grant, front and center, with the Stromberg
Marimba
It is safe to say that no finer gentlemen exist in
this reporters world.
I ony wish we had more time to spend swapping lies,
but Barry is a busy Emergency EVAC pilot, and is "Aloft" saving folks most
of the time,o we rely on email.
Maybe when we are geezers (not long) we will get to
swap lies then.
Love ya man!
And Barry (Center) dressed to kill (Himself) at the Mardi Gras
And in his fancy "Dago" suit
The only thing he looks comfortable in :0
Sporting some birthday mirth from his ol friend vinnie!
I am glad he wore this birthday suit instead
of his regular one! YIKES!
Barry on his latest gig.
Excerpts from the email :
This is a pic that AM took last Friday night at gig's end. The clarinet player was already at the bar by the time she snapped the pic.......I wasn't far behind <:)
Liquid courage, can be used, in some instances,
and this reporter believes that this is one of those times.
My very good friend in Florida,
Cap'n Michael Moe.
Banjo player extrordinaire
Luxury Yacht captain
All around great guy
(And his better half, and two dawgs)
Another cyberfriend that I wish was my next door neighbor
And here is my good friend, Don Wiseman, with his Piano accompaniment,
Karen, at the "Musicale"
Don is looking quite "Dapper" I must say, and he is playing the
"MasterVox", which I created in some crazed state of mind.
Half Gibson, Half VegaVox....thats scary!
My friend Ryan, on the banjo uke.
Ryan is a local player here in Austin,and is one of the "cooler"
guys, in our gang.
And here is my good friend in S.C., Mr Brantly Cox
Playing for a "Higher authority"
Brantly is one of the main reasons I chose to do this work,and this
webpage, and will always be a special part of my life.
Thanks for stickin by me.
There is Torbjorn Nager, from Sweden, in the blue shirt.
Another fine gent
Getting with it.
And of course, my good friend Tyler Jackson, who can play a banjo
good enough to be sitting next to the best of the best, who is Mr.Bud Wachter.
Those two can really get things going and both of them really love
to play.
