James here, Buzz's son. My sister Debbie Bissaillon keeps up with Buzz's email as he is too busy playing the music! Buzz has been playing a lot of out-of-town gigs lately, but you can call him and find out where he's playing or send them an email.

I just got back from Vegas and spent a couple of days with Buzz off and on. I believe he is in Arizona this weekend-and then I'm not sure. He's usually doing pickup gigs if his band isn't working. He no longer does the street show downtown-they wanted him to reduce the budget and he said no.

I honestly think he is one of the top ten players on the planet. If you can catch him somewhere, drop everything and go...

Buzz is a pickers picker,on both steel & standard, ..see him if you can! Tommy Wayne may be playing in one of the casinos with some band, ..maybe Sams town or Boulder station.

I think Tommy Wayne is playing at Arizona Charlie's this week and I'm at Harrah's on Sunday from Noon till 6P.M. I'm not shure where Buzz is this weekend, but I have to call him tomorrow about a gig next month so I'll find out where he'll be.

Hi Ronnie!

Well, he's on loan from elsewhere in the universe....Buzz will never die, he'll just get "Beamed Up".

I was in Las Vegas a few years back and went to one of the lounges at a casino that had a local band. There was a guy who played guitar and once in a while he played steel. He told me about a place that had a sunday night Steel jam session. I can't remember the name of it but it was a pretty local place. It's located near the Texas and Fiesta Casino's. It's a joint but lots of fun. There were 3-4 steel players. I sat in on one of their guitars and had a ball. They weren't quite used to all the Ray Price and Texas music I played and they really enjoyed it. They were more into the California Scene. They had me play most of the night with others set up at the same time. Had a great night.

Anyone know anything more specific about the steel jam Roger mentioned? I'll be there next Sunday with a night off and would love to know if/where it is. Also, updated info on who'll be playing where for the few nights after would also be great. Thanks.

I forgot to post that Buzz is out of town for a couple of weeks.
The jams in town are:
Sunday from 6P.M. till about 11P.M. at
"THE Idle Spurs" on Charleston & Rainbow
1113 S. Rainbow BLVD 702-363-7718

And one at "Saddles'n'Spurs"
2329 N. Jones Blvd.
(702)646-6292 on Smoke Ranch and Jones(a few blocks west of the Fiesta Hotel) it used to be on Thursday night, but they may have it on Sunday nights now.[This message was edited by Alvin Blaine on 19 October 2002 at 07:34 PM.]

Roger,
What did this guitar player look like?
I think I know who he is.
