The Steel Guitar Forum

My friend is traveling to Hawaii on March 16th for ten days. I was wondering if anybody knew if jerry will be playing during this period. I told her he was not to be missed if possible. Thanks

Does anybody know if he will be performing between March 15th and the 23rd? I have a friend visiting Honolulu and I told she would have to check out Jerry. Happy Birthday Jerry!

Thank you very much.

I saw a thread about a Don Helms tab book here some time ago. Does anybody know where I can order it. Thanks in advance

Thanks -Sean

Thanks,
