Guestbook

09/2092013 - Steve (Doub) Hudson

In 1972, I came into the band when Ryland & Donna's brother left the lead guitar position. They took me from Key West to Minot for nearly a year and taught me C&W music and a healthy dose of life along the way. We had our differences, but I love everything I learned from that experience and have thought, fondly, of Ryland throughout these many years. I hate to know that he's gone.
