So … what a fantastic time at the Matrix in Lee, Maine … this past Friday. Beautiful weather … the weather folk were "WRONG AGAIN" from earlier indications - oh yeah!
A huge thank you to Kevin And Dwayne Bartlett … for putting this show together - it was a pleasure to work with you.

And of course a tremendously large (we're talking really big thank you) to my personal sound engineer Mark Shane - for not only making me sound so much better than I am and for assisting Ocean Sound with the set-up, but also helping to work the audio for The Mainely Country Band.

And speaking of the Mainely Country Band … holy wow, what a terrific group of guys, amazing musicians who shocked me when I was playing the opening set by joining me onstage … I'd say Holy Shit they were incredible, but I don't want to use that sort of language.

Oh, the hell with it: Jeff Simon on lead guitar, Sony Bickford on Pedal Steel, Doug Baker on Bass … and of course my old band mate - Dick Knipping - DDD - on Drum & and all of them on vocals … were kick ass great. Thank you sooooooo much.
And then after they backed me … they played a full hour and a half super set. And - they invited me back to join them on Rocky Top - oh yeah, that was cool - in the Key of "D" - good thing I practiced. If you hear or see the name Mainely Country Band playing anywhere - run to the show.

And … I have to tell you, if you've never seen the Mallett Brothers - you have to check them out - a super nice bunch of guys who play terrific music and had the crowd dancing to their beats. Really good musicians, nice vocals - tons of original tunes … oh yeah - don't miss them. Catch em' when you can while they're on tour.
