You started a terrific thread and as you can see by the response, Laney has many fans. Over the last few years, I have had the true pleasure to work with Russ and Laney many times. What an honor it was to play on her "Matters of the Heart" CD. They have become two of my closest friends but I remain a huge fan. (this is serious, no fat jokes)

Roger, I wouldn't miss that weekend in Ga for anything. Country music, good friends and golf. Don't forget, you promised fried chicken too. I'll see you, Larry, Jerry and others next week.

Thanks again Jim for starting a great thread. Russ is one of my all-time favorites and if there is a better country singer out there than Laney, I sure haven't heard"em( and she can cook too).

I thought that if I ever got a chance to pick on the Opry, that would be the ultimate, BUT, no more.
This is the ultimate:

You forgot to add that I was sitting behind her with a flat-top guitar and singing a duet with her at the time. You just happen to be taking a steel break when this picture was taken. But you know I like your playing. I will also add that you do let me sing on your shows sometimes. Thanks again.
