Originally posted by captain Russ: Hey, partner...I've just written our first country song. It's called "Hoedown". It's about a lady of the evening getting on in years. She stumbles and trips frequently, and when she does, everyone yells..."HOEDOWN"! Should be a big hit at retirement communities, etc.
Russ, been away for awhile taking care of this real estate business in GA. I'm still excited about our new duo but I'm a little upset about your spliting part of your time in a duo with that loser "folk" dude, Tony . Also, I love HOEDOWNS; I assume we all bring our own Ho. Gotta go now and practice those three chords (C,G,F). Did you have to make our first collaboration so darn complex? Later. chas

Chas, if we have to bring our own Ho, I'd like to make that plural (or multiples...ha...ha)
Sorry you're upset about the other group. Let's all join forces and create a group that plays country, folk and bluegrass. And, let's add our "lady-friends" to the act. We could call it CFGA...Country, Folk, Grass and A**!
What about it, guys...you in?
Man, I'm on a roll!

Hey, Don...not related, but I met Rodney at the Holiday Inn West in Lexington in the early 70's, when I played there during graduate school. Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton stayed there when they were playing in the area. Buck Trent, a banjo player and Rodney were traveling with them. Buck was going to leave the group and going to work on a new TV show...one with girls with low-cut tops and old men in a cornfield. I told Buck that I thought it was the dumbest idea I'd ever heard. Later, I saw Rodney and his brother, I think, on, Hee Haw, playing matching black Carvin double-neck guitars (I have the same one in a natural finish). I believe he may have been the musical director for awhile, brought in by Buck, Buck Owens and Roy Clark. Buck was on the show for the duration, and the brother of a well-known accordian player-Tony Lovello (played with the Three Sons and was the general manager of the Campbell House when I played there in the early 80's), Sam, was the producer. Funniest thing I ever saw on Hee Haw, was a guest appearance by Tony on accordion....man was he out of place! Buck talked about me working on the show, but I was close to getting my masters, had taken a full-time job at Square D Company, and just couldn't get into it!
Ah, the choices you make...
