[Harp-L] Lee Oskar & Tulsa Read together again in Concert

[TUL1RD@xxxxxxx]

Through the years I have conducted harmonica seminars and performed with my  
friend Lee Oskar, and I just remembered that we were up in Iowa two years  ago 
to conduct a harmonica seminar and to perform a short concert in a  stadium. 
We had the American Indians open up for us by playing their tom-tom  drums, 
dancing and singing. That was too cool.  Well, Lee and his band  the "Original 
Low Riders" (formally known as "WAR") will be performing their  reunion concert 
in Kansas City, MO. tomorrow night, and Lee has invited me  to perform with 
them. I recently performed with Mark Wenner & the  Nighthawks, and in a couple 
of weeks from now, I'll be performing with Mark  Sallings & the Famous 
Unknowns. Recently, I had the honor of being  inducted into the "Country Music Hall 
Of Fame", and this Fall I'll be down  in Nashville to record with Charlie 
McCoy. Just an update for those of you that  have been emailing me about my health, 
the left side of my mouth is still  paralyzied from a series of operations 
from mouth cancer. However, I am now  "Cancer Free", and I'm trying my best to 
play my harmonica from the right side  of my mouth, as I did at this past SPAH 
harmonica convention. That  reminds me, I would like to thank all of you 
harmonica players that came up to  me during the convention to shake hands; give me 
big hugs, etc. and showing  your concerns for me. It was very emotional to 
say the least. It was Jack  Daniel's that got me through a midnight Bluegrass 
jam session, along with having  a hangover the next morning for me to conduct 
the Gospel Harmonica  seminar. I won't forget that. I would like to thank Paul 
Davies for his  outstanding hard work through the years for the SPAH 
organization, and for  allowing me to carry on my seminars each year on Country, 
Bluegrass & Gospel  Music. Harp-L, keep up the good work, and God  Bless.
