We had the pleasure of working with the best group of musicians Ive ever met, Ive done lots of concerts with huge stars, in every genre, but the ISGC had a band, Roy Rosetta as Band leader, Paul, Bobby, Jimmy, Starla, Leonard, MR SMILES, David, Dino, Bobby, Rob Parker, and many others that performed...

I wish to thank the Scott Family, Scotty, and Mike Brown from Peavey for there belief in our Sound and crews during the conventions. Behind the scenes its been many a long day and night of work to produce these events. A labor of love working for the Staff band,and each Steeler, each a professional ...

Its with a heavy heart I read this news today, after hearing of his fall at home and them missing the Convention, I had a bad feeling about his health.

I remember it may have been my first year at the ISGC as sound guy and it was a pretty packed house, then still at the Millenium, and Buddy was scheduled to play, the crowd came pouring in thru the doors and people were jockeying for the close seats and filling the Aisles and really packing up close...

I hope I can step away from the main room and give a listen, sounds like a great lineup and all great players....

Thanks to the Boss, Scotty and Family....the Hotel is a hit with me, good food, but needs some BBQ on the menu...and the staff of the hotel, who did a great job, from A/V to Bellman, The Marriott should be proud of that Hotel....we look forward to next years show...

Wtih the Proliferation of Pedals I would think theres a good Pedal reverb out there, very simple to use and set...I use the M-ONE XL by TC electronics its a bit expensive but has these beautiful luush reverbs/dealys /effects....but the Pedal market has to have something thats simple....I hear Sharon...

Id like to see more Vendors, Myself and Micheal Scott made many a call to Manufacturers in and out of Amps, Steels, etc...and we hope to build a manufacturers Midway, the biggest issue was we didnt know what to expect, what the traffic flow would be, what the crowds might be...we got those answers a...

Enjoyed your Show Dave, would have loved some SITAR man....Enjoyed it greatly...

Ive done Johnny several times over the year but this year I felt he ws simply the best sounding ever, he was ON !!! Both shows were excellent....

I have to agree that getting Younger Pickers, and different Genres in the program should be considered, I too enjoy all the music and approaches, If you do Jazz, or Bach, Play a Mullen or GFI, use a singer or play solo, Its about the versatality of the Instrument.... We need a Youth Program at all t...

Totally enjoyed the Jazz Show, it was nice to hear talented Steelers playing great music other then Country, If this industry wants to grow it has to accept those that use the same instrument in different formats, I would love to see more jazz, one jazz show per day, those that dont enjoy Jazz can s...
