The question about recording Mike's show has come up before,all I can say is, if Mike reads this he would be the one to answer.We will not infringe on his musical rights unless he approves recording.Ray

Hey guys,

Recording anything I do is ok with me so long as it's for personal use and not sold and/or shared widespread (i.e.; MP3's on the internet).

Many years ago, I did a steel event at a music store (their first event). I knew they were taping everyone but since they had not mentioned anything about it, I assumed it was just for keeping a record of what they hoped would be an annual situation. Months later I started getting mail from people who were not happy with the quality of my new project (what new project?). Anyhow, the store was selling cassettes of my performance and never told me or asked me anything about it. I did get a copy of the recording and it was extremely poor quality...lot of hiss, bad mix...etc. Of course, beyond the lack of quality, there was a distinct issue of legality which was resolved quickly. Refunds were made and the tapes were pulled from the market. A friend told me I should be honored to have reached a level that I was now being bootlegged. : )

Anyhow...go for it responsibly. I look forward to meeting, making and hearing new friends. Thanks to Ray, Billy, Troy and anyone else I may be accidentally leaving out for organizing the event. I'm sure it'll be fun.

Mike S.

Billy Easton has just had September 28th 2002 declared a "Steel Guitarist" holiday.You have the day off and don't have to be anywhere else except the "JAM"
He went to the Eloy Az. courthouse,found the janitor,had him sign and seal the proclmation with the "City of Eloy"stamp which makes it an official document.Sooo we will see all steel players Sat 28th at the "JAM"

(what a sneaky way for a bump to the top)

It's about as far from Surprise as it is for Gary to come from Calf., but i'll be there part of the day anyway.

Just to listen. Looks like you already have enough steels for one room.
