I almost forgot Rich! Why no songs posted on your page? I was looking forward to hearing some Brotherton picking! Does REK Band have a MySpace page? I'll have to do some research.
Take care brother Brotherton.

Rich!
How totally weird getting an add request from you when I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago! I think it was because I drove by your old house in Augusta the other day and started wondering what you were up to since I e-mailed you about a year ago after seeing your folks out with the Kelly's one night at Rae's Coastal Cafe. I was playing there and they heard my name and stopped me as I passed their table. Yeah, they had to brag about you a little but that's one of the perks they get when their son is a soopah-hot ax weilder who was just written up in the local paper. They were a blast to talk to again! So, you remember the old Blonde ES335? It was great for starting out but I'm a Telecaster man now. Playing small venues through a "Blues Junior" believe it or not. 15 Watts of smokin' hot! Must be the tubes. When are you due back in Augusta? I missed you last time due to surgery but keep me posted and I'll definitely be there the next show. (BTW, ain't Hatcher a HOOT?)
Great to hear from you again Rich! Hope to see you in person ASAP!

The Ohio REK stalkers asked me to tell you that they're missing their faces due to the fact that you rocked them off at last night's show!
Thanks for that, by the way.

The show in Alexandria yesterday was awesome! The "Flying Shoes" cover blew me away! I am not going to say anything sacrilegious by suggesting that it was better than the original. Just that I enjoyed it more.

We stood down front for an hour and then wandered off to see the merch and hoping that cover was on a new CD. You guys need to put that song on a new CD!

One of these days I'm going to move to Austin, and when I do you'll find me camped out on your doorstep, and you're not gonna get rid of me until you show me how you do those fast Tex-Mex leads!

Heh!

Hi Rich, Your performance last night with Toni was a tour de force! I didn't drink enough to see double but I could have sworn there were two people playing guitar on stage with her last night. Thanks for a great show!

Hey Rich Brotherton!
Just wanted to tell you that the performance on the John Boy and Billy Show is awesome; for 8 bucks I get to hear it as many times as I want this month!! You were awesome, as always.
Take care.

You guys put together a great set in Dallas last night. The greatest moment of the evening was when you returned on stage with DMB and rocked it out. It was the loudest I heard the place all night...I was blown away yet again at your guitar skills.
Brenda





Sep 16 2007 2:26 PM

Since I couldn't be in Austin today, it sure was cool to get to see and hear you guys on this computer machine! :) You were awesome, as usual!! Can't wait for NC this week!

Thanks for the add! I can never get enough of REK and the boys. ;) I'm still feeling the love from the show in SLC on July 5th. I'm hoping to get to Challis, ID next Saturday! Isn't the first cardinal rule of REK fandom: if it's 500 miles or less GO!!! ;)

Great article in No Depression, Rich. Congratulations on that -- well deserved may I add. Only drag was reading about Las Manitas closing in the same issue.

Hey, I just discovered Peter Case. He's as good a writer as Joe Ely. Peter has a book that looks very attractive. Ever do any prose Rich?
Vantastic

Not since seeing Monte Montgomery did I get so wowed by guitar playing when I saw you at Boz Skaggs' place where the Fire Marshall was conspicuously absent and again in Petaluma.

I'd like to see you do the music for a Sam Shepherd play or Denis Johnson, If you went out on a vacation, who would you want to play with? Joe Ely? Eliza Gilkyson? Liz Phair?

If you get a minute would you mind sending me a message and tell me how to plug my Stratocaster into a new MacBook?

Hey Rich, Thanks for the add. I always enjoy hearing you play. Best Wishes and Safe Travels. Dana
