Very Nice Congrad....

[conradoberg]

Thank you very much Derrick, your band is great! Please say Hi to Oteil for us. Conrad was lucky enough to open the show for him and Buddy Guy at the Sarasota Blues Festival a couple of years ago.

Nice job Conrad! I can definitely relate to this being a "thrill of a lifetime" for you as I had a similar experience back in 2003 when I attended the Sacred Steel Convention in Orlando when Calvin Cooke brought me up to play with him!
