I would like to offer my personal congratulations to Billy who recently held a benefit night at Glasgows Grand Ole Opry. There were 4 bands involved and I know how much organising that takes, having done it myself. I know he managed to raise a whole bunch of money. Well done sir. Donny.

Many thanks for saying nice things.
I was not alone,I had many hands helping,the Opry staff in particular were extremely helpful.The people who attended were very generous and We raised £5000 for two beautiful children and their Mum.

Yes!! very well done Billy, great to see the steel community pulling together at such times for a good cause... I would have loved to have been there for that gig but I don`t think news of it got this far south ?? At least I did not get to hear about it until afterwards... :( Still, Well done my friend we are all proud of you :)

Yes a big praise to all the musicians that took part in this very decent gesture. It proves there are still a lot of decent people here on this Island we called England.

ps. Roy, have you been reading 'My book of gaffs' written by Prince Phillip by any chance?
