hey Joe are you going to the st louis admirals this year?if so maybe I can follow you there if your not flying?

Yea, I'm doing my best to go this year. It's been too long since my last show. Seems like every time I make plans, something happens.

St. Louis is a seven hour drive from my house.  We'll get our heads together.

cool I would fly but Im too afraid to.Do you still have your paddle wheelers maybe you could teach this redneck some stuff about these thangs!

Nope, don't have any running paddle wheelers. The Verity is retired to a museum in Point Pleasant, WV and the Lady Lois was a commissioned job for Aaron Richardson, Cincinnati, OH. I've got photos though and the build experience. Whatever questions you have, we'll try to answer.

what kind of band do you play in joe?im into alot of bluegrass,older contry and southern rock.

Man I could never spend a boatload of time on a boat and have to give it (well sell it) to some one.

thinks for your offer to help (I know im going to need it)

I save a little money from each commissioned model I build to pay for the boat I want to build. I've got three other boats I'd like to build for myself after I finish the Dravo boat. There's also four barges I want to build.

We play a variety of music. I get a lot of requests t osing Roy Orbison songs. I also do some Osborne Brothers, Conway Twitty, Bad Company, BTO, and assorted others.

are you sure we ant related some how you going to the hank williams jr concert in lex the aug 11th?

Hard to say. I doubt if I'll be going to see Hank. I'll probably be playing myself. I did a few shows with him back in the early 80's.
