Thank you Peggy for posting Milsap's tours! Just got back from Lake Charles, LA and saw this in my emails. It is such an honor to work with Ronnie Milsap and I am so honored that he chose me to work with him, it's going on 10 years now and everyone of them were Awesome! If you look close at this photo you can see how close I was to the piano as you can see my floor pedals in the reflection in his piano. Also in this picture is left of Ronnie, Rhonda Hampton, back ground singer and acoustic guitar and right of Ronnie is Larry Hall Aux keyboards.

John:

That sounds like a dream gig. I think Milsap is a remarkable talent.

Roger, you are totally correct! “Sir Ron” as I call him is one of the best people I have ever worked with! When he’s singing a song and he hears something you did that he likes he says Yeah! right then and that makes you feel like you’re contributing and doing your best! I could go on and on! Got to see my good friend and Awrsome fiddle player Johnny Lee Carpenter while I was there! We played together on many recordings and live shows, love ya brother!

Got to meet a super Steeler while I was there in Lake Charles, LA Joe Rogers, he gave me a CD that he did with 2 other steel players Richard Comeaux and Murnel Babineaux! 11 cool songs and some of them had that great Louisiana Cajun feel, loved it, thx Joe for the CD! Hope this picture doesn’t come out sideways!
