Hi Redd! I hope this reaches you. I just learned about computors or I probably would hav e got in touch with you sooner. It is good to see that you are doing so well. I guess I should have got a Led Zepplan pile of records etc as well and learned some stuff. I got the part down aboutnot knowing any thing about jazz though so that may a start though. I am still tgrying to learn guitar and am liking it still. The 4 years I put in at 'Hack School' helped, before I went I really wasnt sure of what I was doing. Now I know that I dont know what I am doing. I really Enjoy your playing though of that I am sure. Please drop me a line. I would like that . Your pal Bernie

Hi Redd!ope this reaches you. I guess things are going really good for you which is OK. I have been getting b ack into the guitar , doing fakebook tunes and monkey with the typewriter same as before still havent b een getting getting that many banas though,heh heh. I still have the watch we swapped years ago and have still have not completed the deal yet. Drop me a line sometime. It would be good hearing from you. I still hang out at Avenue Guitars and as usual Brian has a good handle on what is happening with guitars and basses etc. I am interested in buying some of your CDs. I have have the first two and would like to buy the next two.I can send money orders if this is possible. I dont know if I will have acces to a computer all the time and might have comunicate via slow mail. Let me me know the cost of the CDs and I will send you the money and also let me know what to do about the watch. All the best Bernie Schwarz

Hey Redd,

Ive caught you a couple of times at the Continental Club, one of my favorite music haunts....even though I live near Chicago. One of those times you were with Bill Kirchen, and Im taking my 15 year old guitar playing son (I also play) to see Bill tomorrow...I just realized you will be there later this year...you are on the agenda...

Keep up the excellent work...

John

Hi Redd, a few months back I learned from one of my patients ( I am a chiropractor ) Kent Fors in Sweden that you had stayed with him at his house while attending the annual guitar show in Gothenburg. I almost died cause I?ve been listening to and attempting to play/sing like Merle Haggard since I bought my first record wit him in 1967. Here I had missed the chance to meet the finest guitar player in the world and at the same time missed my chance to sit down, have a beer and just breathe the air surrounding you and the country music giant you work for.
I just ordered my copy of the Merle Haggard custom telecaster. It takes 6 months from you order it till you get it here in Sweden. I want to ask you what I might have to do in terms of pick-ups to get the right sound or is it ok the way it comes from the custom shop ? Which amplifier is best suited for your sound or is it a special build too ?
Finally, I hope you come back to Sweden, would like to meet you. I make the best mexican food this side of the Atlantic. You?re welcome... and how do I get a copy of your DVD ? Karsten

I am a big fan of traditional country...not homaganized Nashville stuff! You play it real! I listen to Merle, Hank Thompson, Dale Watson, Bob Wills, Asleep at the wheel, Lefty Frizzell and Redd Volkaert! Keep on doing what you do. Hope to see you out there again soon!

Hey Red! Im glad I stumbled onto you website. I miss seeing you around Nashville. Your playing always made me smile. Some of my funniest memories are you and me working in the band at 'The Nashville Night Life' club. Give me a shout sometime if youre in Nashville. Moose
