I also down loaded a lot of Dons songs and I listen to them a lot . Cal

Let me just say you haven't lived till you performed on the same stage as Don Mason a memory I will cherish the rest of my life good times I hope to do again!

I think that his music takes second place to his genuine, pleasant, admirable hospitality. A great person and friend right off the bat. I love the man and his wonderful wife and family too. If only I lived close enough, I'd play my sax with him whenever he'd ask for free.

Would love to be in the same room with both of these "Giants" when they are jammin'.............

I'm very happy to be at the same planet as those legends.

Although I wasn't there I did buy from the late Joe Richards the jam on DVD. Great show to say the least.

Legend??!! I wish someone would tell my wife that!
It is very nice of you all to say such fantastic things. I greatly enjoyed playing with many of our members here and I thought they all were great. Everyone has his strong points and I haven't met anyone here who is not a truly good person, no matter how hard some of us try to hide it.

When Don had the first SZ jam in Shreveport several hurricanes ago, I flew from West Palm Beach to Dallas, rented a car, booked a room in Shreveport and spent and enjoyable afternoon watching, learning from and playing with Don, several of his local friends and other SZers who came in for the event. Don was, very much, the gracious host and made sure everyone met each other and got to play. Yaah....I think of him as a legend. He is the only 6'5" legend I know that ALWAYS wears a black cowboy hat.
Thanks Don. Your personal performances, MP3s and YouTube videos and helpful phone conversations have been a major influence on me and many others here in the Zone.

Over the years, I've met lots of legends, some of which are here. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them have passed away. Glad there are still a few around.

All the best,

Gary

I recognize our "Southern Gentleman" (Don M) and our "Chairman of the Board" (Gary D)........ Who are the others starting from Gary?

I would like to put the face with the name ....
