for my trip this week. I'm leaving Wed for the cornfields in Hastings,

Nebraska to play the Miles of Memories Festival for 3 days. I'm really

looking forward to it and I'm actually getting paid! That's even better news.

Had a blast last year in Iowa and I'm sure this will be even better! yeehaw!

I'm also going to visit my uncle and cousins nearby. That's always fun to

see them Polaks. Please hold emails this week so my inbox won't explode!!

Liz Talley's Performance Schedule

Hope everyone is surviving the gas prices & the heat! I've been running all over TX the last 2 wks & feeling the pain of both. July 3rd I went to the Grand Opening of XM Radio/Willies Place in Carls Corner. The studio is beautiful & I had a blast schmoozing & taking in all the great music! July 5th I was in Brady for a benefit for fiddle player Kelly Spinks & his band. They hit a cow on the way home from a gig in Fredericksburg & were all seriously hurt. They lost everything when the truck/trailer went up in flames. Those boys had a guardian angel with them that night! We wish them well as they recover.

Last Sat I played the Cameron Opry & then on to Cowboy Church in Pearland

Sun. Now we're in another week already! This Thurs (July 17th) I'll be at the Brenham Opry @ Silver Wings Ballroom@ 7pm. Friday--Chet & I will be @ Gabbys /Shepherd from 6:30-9:30 pm.

Next Fri (July 25th) Chet & I will be @ Gabbys/Pasadena from 6:30-9:30 pm.

Her web site is www.liztalleymusic.com I am blessed to have shared her tremendous talent. From the old Exxon swamp/ Jesse C Smith Jr I'M NOT SURE WHY LIZ AND BAD BOB WILL NOT PUT LINKS TO MY SITES ON THEIR WEB PAGES?
