Folks,
This is not a little exciting. The last time anyone had an online discussion on me, I think it was the police checking my record inter state. Lisa, I never was a roughneck, thank god. It's one of the few jobs I do not regret not having. I got the song "This old Rig" from Kackie Kinder in l975 when I lived in Wichita, before I started doing farm and ranch work. Jackie was a friend of Evelyn and Bob Beers. Jackie paved the way for me to play at Fox Hollow in l976, my first trip east. I also know (sort of, now) another oil field song called "tool picker from Snyder" (I think that's the name) that I used to sing about the same time that Art recorded me at No Exit. I stopped singing those songs because the more concerts I did the more I realized that oil rig songs didn't go over that well with night club crowds. Maybe now...
Anyway, I'm doing a concert at the University of New Mexico Fri, Dec.5. And I'm playing in Kansas City Fri., Jan. 2 and in El Dorado, Kansas Jan. 3.
