Donna & I played last night at the "Cornbread Palace" with our friend and multi instrumentalist Tony Kakaris who played Dog-house Bass for us..I made a couple of blunders but we had a good time...

After all these years and countless live shows I still suffer from stage fright, unless I am playing the Fiddle...For thirty years or more I stood in the back row, played Fiddle and sang Baritone with no problems...Now I am prone to forget the second verse of a song that I have known all my life...

That reminds me of the old corny TV shows with Stringbean, Grandpa Jones, Eddie Arnold and such. Just fun and pretty good music, too.
