Generous by nature, NBA supports efficient

We met NBA when he was singing & playing lead guitar
in a popular country group 33 years ago. His heart being
in Western Swing, we were not surprised when he left and
formed his own LONE STAR WESTERN SWING BAND. Our association
developed into a strong, lasting friendship. He is highly
self-motivated & maintains exemplary ethical standards.
He hires only the best & most experienced musicians,
always uses cutting edge sound equipment, loves and respects
his fans & has that certain something about him that
makes people
feel good about themselves. His music skills & leadership
carries over to all his business endeavors, propelling
achievements & success to exceptional levels. We observed
& admired his steady, upward climb & are amazed
at his knowledge & experience in the music he loves.
His "NBA SALUTES THE BOB WILLS ERA" recordings
is some of the finest, best quality music we've heard
anywhere. We are honored, proud to know & have as
our friend New York's own King Of Western Swing!
