This is my forth guestbook, the first two are full but can be viewed by clicking here. The third I had to delete because I just could not fix the errors that were entered into it. I will monitor this guestbook closer so I don't have to delete another page like the last. If you signed my last guestbook please sign this one as I would like to be able to respond to your entries.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing your memories. I'm looking forward to meeting my childhood idol - Kitty Wells - when she plays my son's place in Bandera, TX on March 18th. She's 80 now and this is her last year to perform. She played the venue before in the fifties I did meet Hank Thompson and his wife there. Great people. Hank Williams III is coming soon also, making three generations of Williams boys to play The Cabaret in Bandera. All the performers on your web page played there.

Dear Mr. Harden, At this moment in time I am 17 years old and am planning to pursue a career in country music. My plans as of now are to take my money I have saved up and move to Nahville when I graduate. I plan to graduate a semester early and look at this opportunity ith optimism and make the most of this time. I look at it as something that I will always wonder about if I do not take the time to follow my dream. I know very little about this industry and would really appreciate your help. If you could maybe e-mail me and give me a few hints or ideas, maybe a healthy dose of reality, since I think this is going to be fairly easy, I would really be indebted to you. I know many people stay in Nashville for years with nothing to show for it but knowledge and worn out oots, although I only plan to try for six or seven months I think this is enough time to let life and fate take its course. I thank you for reading my letter and thank you in advance for your advice. Sincerely, Stephanie N. Shepperd

I do admire the simple elegance with which you've built your site. I' e got to figure out how you left justify so darn neatly!! :D I've sent the URL's of some of your Garth Brooks links on to a friend via ICQ...she'll get a kick out of them.
