Thanks for the humor.  It's always nice to find other accordionists in the world!  In my particular spot of America (Springfield, Missouri--about 60 kilometers north of BRANSON!), accordionists are a pretty rare sight.  Naturally, we come uder a great deal of derision from those who are of a lower sub-species.





Keep the humor and the info coming.

Great stuff!  I play steel guitar in a U.S. western swing band called "Earl Wells & the Gushers."  We're from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  I used to play steel and guitar in a punk country deconstructionist performance art (!!) band called Pine State.  I've got a web page at http://www.unc.edu/~riser and a western swing steel guitar page at http://www.unc.edu/~riser/steel.htm   I'd be honored to be linked if you do that kind of thing...  Wish I could pop over the Big Pond to catch your act sometime! Well, my wife studied in London for a semester and I visited once briefly, and we both desperately want to visit again, so maybe I will catch one of your affiliated bands sometime!



Take care,

Nice page.  I too got to play with Howlin' Wolf at a jam session.  I played quite often with

Muddy Waters, who lived 2 miles from me in Westmont, Illinois, which is just outside of Chicago.

I play mostly Blues but write mostly soundtrack stuff that I keep trying to sell.

One of these days, soon I hope because I'm 45, I get that overnight success deal that everyone

always talks about.  Who knows.  Keep up the good work and keep pluggin'.

Sorry, but I play guitar, not accordian, but accordian's cool, too.  It's all music.

I am a huge fan of Bob Wills. What tunes of his do you play?

You ought to come to Texas on the last weekend in April.  That is when they hold Bob Wills Day in Turkey, Texas.(Bob's hometown)  Many of Bob's Texas Playboys reunite for a dance and concert.  Those ol' boys can sill swing, and it's great to see and hear legends like Eldon Shamblin and Herbie Remington.

Finally, are y'all familiar with the great blues guitarist, Johnny Winter.  I know you have Eric Clapton there, but he could not even carry Johnny's Jock strap.

I read what you said about Joe Ely. I went to college in Lubbock, Texas.  During one of the killer parties we used to throw, Joe showed up with none other than Stevie Vaughn (no Ray in those days of the early '80s) and they both got together and played acoustic guitars right there in my own backyard.  It was quite a night.

I'm Canadian and I live in Montreal.  My great aunt's name was Betty Gyde.  My father Gyde Vanier Shepherd was given the first name Gyde, and I was named after him.  Gyde is rare as a family name in Canada but as a first name I've NEVER seen it.  My life has been influenced by the sense of uniqueness this name has brought me.  Thanks to the internet, I've found you guys.  I think the name originated in Gloucestershire but I'm not sure.  Could you send me something about the name?  Ironically, I used to have an Israeli landlord who called me "Cyder", it was a big family joke.  Most people mispronounce the name, especially here in Quebec!

Needless to say, we were never asked back, but we did enjoy ourselves.Willy is out here now for a short tour;we're playing the Sweetwater this friday and saturday (april 10 & 11), probably with the great Bobby Black on steel.

      I hope to be in your country in August, producing a scottish reel band way up north in Scotland. 

      What's goin on? I'll be looking for you when i'm there. Please send me some email and whatever news when you feel like it.
