Lonnie Lett entertained us last evening. He stood and sang and played for three full hours, wearing a black cowboy shirt and black hat and jeans. He looked the part but most of all, he sang and played well. He is a true professional. His voice was steady and true. In addition, he had lots of gadgets, where he could sing with himself.
Lonnie is not young. He has been making his living as a musician for 48 years. After college and law school, Ray Price took him under his wing and instead of working a real job, he toured with several well known groups. After touring for 25 years and getting two divorces, he decided to stay in one place and make his living as a single musician singing and playing. He chose Fredericksburg, Texas, and has been making his living here ever since
We are pleased with his choice because he entertained us royally at our 55th celebration on Friday evening. He is not a young man but he sounded great, singing all the standard country songs. We all felt grateful for listening and dancing to his music.
