Hey Barney, thanks so much for all of those kind kinds word! I will def let you know when I'm playing around town! We should connect for coffee or something! Best to you!

UM... I wrote a much longer comment and it is not here anymore?! I hate that, and at this time of day I don't have the patience to write it again :) BUT... it said something like, looking at your bio, I want to ask - who haven't you played for? That is awesome! You must love trailer choir - vinny is a hoot. I love them! I got to hang at vinny's church once, I would love that for my house :) When you do you find time to write? Ever have any cuts or has the bass been your main source of income of creative income?

Who did the vocals for You Are? I feel like I have heard that voice before... I love this song, you don't have it available on mp3 do you? I would love to listen to it more! :)

It is a small world... I love trailer choir! It must be fun to travel with them! All these songs on your site, are they yours? How do you find time to song write when you are on the road... I guess you fit it in, you have to right? Friday Night Lights - the demo singer sounds a little like Luke Bryant - I almost thought it was a LB song... :) Where do you usually play? I play mostly the same places. I would love to play more but I don't want to drag my guitar player all over town since I don't play for myself! Have fun out there with TC, I have been to Vin's church for an after party once, I am sure you are there every once and a while. He is a hoot! Hopefully you will make your way out one time. If you ever need a demo singer - that is what I do :)

Ah, some joe with the Johnston is a comforting thought. Let me come up for air and give you a shout, maybe next week. Looking forward to it! - chris

Hey Barney!
Great to hear from you as well, lunch sometime?

Hey!
I showed horses many many times in Wichita Falls! What a small world...
I have experienced a little bit of the networking in my 2 visits to Nashville, but I'm looking forward to so much more to come!
I hope to co-write more when I get to Nashville, as well as perfecting my craft of singing. Thank you so much for your encouragement as I take this next step in my life... I really do appreciate it. I'm not scheduled to perform at any writers nights yet, but I'm looking for any opportunity that presents itself...
Have any suggestions? I'm totally open to those!
Have a Blessed day!

Hi Barney.. I am in town on May 16th and will be out there to meet you in Irvine CA..... Look forward to it!

all the best! It's so awesome to see the work you've done.. I am going to put your number in my phone! I may need you a little...

Barney. You look familiar. Did I meet you back at Nashville Palace a few months ago? I was playing keyboards for Laurie Killian Starr. Just curious. I saw your post on her page. Have a great day!

Dang Barney! I hate we keep missing each other!! Got a good game of 'phone tag' going on! : )
Looking for keyboard/bgv work, still! If you hear of anyone who needs what I do, tell them to give me a call! : )
We WILL have coffee...... : ) ....... hopefully before the gig in August! ha ha! : )
C-ya soon!

Wichita Falls?? !! How cool is that? Remember the club "Little Brothers" ?? Played there many a time! (Wonder if that place is STILL there?) ha ha!

I know what you are talking about, Barney ! It's been crazy this year trying to secure a decent touring gig. Glad I'm not the only one 'beating the bushes', so to speak! : )

Yes, Steve R. called me for the Bradshaw gig. It'll be great working with you! Looking forward to it! : )

Absolutely, would love to go to lunch with you. Can't turn down going to Lunch with another fellow 'Texan' ! : )

Let me know what your schedule is, and we'll go eat! : )
My # is 498-9626!
C-ya Barney!

Hey Barney! Little bird told me you're from Texas too! : ) Noticed you've played bass for Woody Bradshaw. Was recently called to play keys on a gig (in Mississippi ), coming up in August w/ Woody.

Looking for a road gig with an established artist. Formerly with Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Pam Tillis, Neal McCoy and most recently, founding member/keyboards/"lead harmony singer" for Cowboy Crush, on Curb/Asylum records!
Thanks Barney!

Hey Barney, thanks for the nice message!
How are things going??
I didn't know you played with all those fine artists. I enjoy Christian / Praise and Worship music and am having a great time making it.
Hope to meet up with you soon, and I will definitely let you know if I ever need a bassist.
God bless,
Daniel

Hey Barney....great to hear from you! I'll definitely keep my ears open...you are undoubtedly one of the best musicians in town!

Barney! What's up dude? Life is good

Been there before. That is why I took the teching job. There weren't very many good gigs to be found. I will keep my ears open fro you but honestly haven't heard of anything for a while. Later and good luck with it all..
