Jeez, lemme tell ya, Steve Latimer is DEFINITELY real. He's a solid citizen with a job, beautiful new wife, and a penchant for Dylan and banjo. He's a former hockey player, and loves the colour Puce. In his spare time he designs apres-ski clothes, has been a volunteer candy-striper in the "Moron" Wing of the Jean Chretien Hospital for the criminally incontinent. IF he's chosen MIss World he'll do all he can to work for world peace and.......Oooooops! Sorry about that, I got confused!
Yes, indeed. A fun night, nice crowd.....BUT.....a disaster happened as well. Near the end of the second show, my Dobro/mandolinist Frank Barth DROPPED his 1935 Regal Dobro while putting it on the stand and BUSTED THE NECK!! You could hear the collected intake of breath from the audience. Yup, the neck really DID look awful....sort of the musical equivalent of a skier breaking his leg and the bone showing through!! Shouldn't be hard to repair though. Dobros are mostly plywood and pretty hardy.
Boy, Jeri and Mick.....when you guys get yer own Lear jets we can visit all the time.
