A few points... Tater I love your take on most things... genuine feelings with out fluff to the point.
Skaggs: I have a couple friends who have played a festival or two where he was in attendence. He was pompous, arrigant and down talking to all. They avoid all festivals/shows containing the man. His Style? I am not a fan. He has that machine gun speed of notes flyin everywhere but with out a lot of depth of accent. No season in the soup in my language! Preaching.... everyone knows he preaches, right. He came to a church here in Pearland, Texas a couple years ago. Charged his big rate. Preached for 45 min and played 3 songs to a congregation plus payin 30 bucks a head. Ten dollars a song... iTunes wishes and I'm sure other artist wish they could charge that! My mentor has issue with the man but won't keep trashing him he always comes back with a compliment like skaggs has a tear in his eyes from my friends words. He claims theft of ideas 30 years ago and I tell him to shut up that's what Monroe did a bunch I'm sure, it happens alot i'd venture to guess. your fellow tater patcher, peeking out of the ground, Chef On Sep 27, 4:33 pm, mandoho...@comcast.net wrote: > I get to play and sing a number of gospel shows each year.
