If that's true, it's an excellent choice.

Not to down Joe Edwards, but Hoot is a much better fiddler.

When I saw Steve Wariner last July Hoot wasn't with him but I don't remember who was.
I was surprised that Doyle Holly was driving the bus for Steve. It was a thrill to meet D.H. He's a great guy but I wish he was still picking and singing.

Ben,
Yeah Doyle is a good one. He drove me around 1000's of miles when I played guitar for him in the late 70's and early 80's. I heard some interesting stories. He's the "real deal".
