I don't remember how to paste pictures here, but here's a link to them. http://www.imira.com/Album/GuestView.asp...p%3FCPIndex%3D0

We had a great time, but the visit was too short. We did see Tom and Pat again this morning, because I left my cell phone in Tom's truck and they were nice enough to drop it off at my house, as they were on the way out of town.
Travelin' Easy--Bossier City still has some clubs, but it's not like the old days when illegal gambling, B-girls and all that was wide-spread. We now have three Casinos, and two more just across the river in Shreveport.
Back in the 50's and 60's though, it was really wild. I came to town in 1977 and got in on the tail-end of it. The Louisiana Hayride was still going, but only a shadow of it's former status.
Scott: I played a lot of Country music Saturday, because that was what the customers were asking for. We had several very talented singers on hand, plus a couple of good guitar players. Aaron Cash (Johnny's half-brother) was there and he sounds exactly like Big John himself. He's a few years younger and stays on key a little better!
When I finally persuaded Tom to play while I took a break, the audience loved him. He played "Route 66", "I Saw Her Standing There", and several more (I was gone to the rest room for a while!)
Tom also took photos, and I'll bet he will post some.
