Louis,Thanks for the info on Bob Simmons. No I dont play bass,I played steel in Bham, from 1970 till 1979 at Uncle Sam's club,The New Spot Lounge,Banks Lounge and other clubs. I think I know you Lewis? Do the names Sonny Duke,Bill Flippo,Wayne Barnett or Junior Thomas ring a bell with you? Please reply Wayne Broyles |

Wayne, Where in the world have you been, haven't seen you in about 20 or so years. Yes I played all the clubs and with all the people you mentioned. I have been building and playing steel since then. give me a shout on my e-mail and we will catch up. We have a steel guitar club in Gardendale called the Jugtown Steel Guitar Club. We met today with a very large turnout. Bob was there and we tried to figure out who you were. I even remember your CB handle thanks for all the good friendship Steel Drivin Man. Contact me at copewill@aol.com Louis ------------------ |

Slick Wayne, You asked about Joe Kaloc. Joe Kaloc is Steel Guitar 100%. No more needs to be said. He is working at Randy Glenn's Club in Alabaster , Al. Thursday,Friday and Saturday. I had the pleasure of working with Joe and the band last Saturday. It's probably the only real country band in this part of Alabama. Joe plays a 12 string Serria Universal with lots of his own added features. He is still the monster picker he was plus. You can reach him at k_loc@msn.com ------------------ |
