Jimmy, I'll start on a list for you. It may take some time but I'll get it done. One thing regarding Jimmy C. Newman's music. Jimmy is a standard on the Opry but his cajun music has been watered down for commercial reasons. I don't recall in recent years hearing a real good cajun steel player on his opry appearances. If you have made contact with Jr. I would ask his opinion regarding albums featuring cajun steel. He probably has played on one or two himself.

<<<Ending every song in C is something that is true.>>

Quesney, just to set the record straight, your statement above is incorrect.

Jody, I have been meaning to stop in and tell Roy hello and see how his guitar is coming along. Time seems to escape me when I am visiting down here. We are moving back to Louisiana as soon as our home in TN is sold, so I will be able to catch up with a lot friends that I haven't seen in years.
