The Chetboard

From Richard Smith:

OK folks! Mark your calendars...Tuesday May 21st. Nashville TN, 3rd and Lindsley. The annual Jerry Reed Tribute will be hosted by yours truly with a cast of the finest fingerpickers on the planet...Brent Mason, Tommy Emmanuel, Craig Dobbins, Darrell Toney, John Knowles, Sean Weaver, Buddy Green and many many more. From 7pm onwards! Proceeds will benefit the "Music Cares" grammy organization. It will be one helluva night!!

Hope to see some of you there!

Thanks,

Craig

Son....I would seriously love to be able to play a couple of tunes on this thing!! Look like it's just headliners though.

Yeah it would be cool pick a few. It would be cool just to be able to watch.

Can't swing two trips this year.

Phil and Eddie, it would be great to have you guys play a tune. Who knows? John

What a amazing show! I Hope there is going to be some cameras to capture it.

Phil and Eddie would fit perfectly in that line-up; two monster pickers that nail every Reed song.

Looks like Phil and I are probably going to make the trip!

Nerves don't fail me!!!!!!

But, just in case you can't make it, Richard Smith just announced that it'll also be streamed live on the web, starting at 7pm local time! He says the link will follow (probably via the 3rd and Lindsley website?).

Tony I'll tell you about the Eddie Estes part of Eddie and Phil.

I have been practicing my butt off to get ready(I know Phil has too). If I can conquer my nerves I'll do ok.
