Allman Brothers write-in candidate

So, I heard from an old friend that Derek Trucks is leaving the Allman Brothers Band. Sad, but the news he had for me was that he was waging a campaign to get me an audition to fill the slot. A lap steel player in the ABB? Well, there's such a strong Duane Allman influence to my lap steel playing it sounds like fun. A long-shot, sure, but fun.

I'm not exactly sure how he's doing it, I think its through the Allman Brothers Website forums or some connection that he has. I'm really not sure, but what can I say, Steve, but that I'm flattered. Will they call?

Hmmm, time for a letter-writing campaign? What do you think?

Beware polka-players in blues bands....

Yeah, I know-

I'm updating all my diary dates and stuff.

Next gig is Thursday May 21 at Cafe Drummonds. It's a special show with some special guests!

Live from Budapest!

Yeah it's true, going back to Hungary this summer for Gastroblues. Here are some photos from the last gig in Budapest. What a great time, and a great band too-

Tony Winfield, ace photographer, captures dome images of us in action at the Red Lion Inn. Great gig photos- the ones that sent me directly to the barber to get that mess of hair cleaned up. Back to the DT....
