The Saddle Tones are a local band who I have enjoyed playing a few gigs with recently as a special guest. They asked me to pick out a tune for a steel feature and I chose “Buddy’s Boogie”, knowing that Laurie (the leader) is a Little Jimmy Dickens fan. The truth is, this is the first time I’ve ever played it with a band and this was totally unrehearsed. I had to consult with my own instructional video to remember how to play it! Hopefully, next time I’ll get it right.
This show was recorded by someone with 2 video cameras, but the audio on both videos is distorted, so I apologize for the less than stellar sound.
I don’t really gig much anymore, as I have chosen to spend more time advancing my music studies and pursuing other musical interests, so I feel happy to at least have had the chance to take a crack at this with a band.
That sure looks like a lot of fun, Mike. Regardless of how you feel about the recording, I think you did just fine!
