Siloam Springs Steel Guitar Club (AR) - Full House - Photos

Post by Lynn Carney »

The SSSGC enjoyed a full house today despite missing three key players: Vance was on break after a busy schedule, Leon is on sick-leave and Virgil was hunting. You missed a great one, guys, and we missed you. We also missed Mrs. Zelpha Ward.

Bill Myrick, Ben Chesney and Jerry Newberry - great to have you on our line today.

Members who attended Sunday's meeting & jam:

Bill Myrick, Gerald Sparks, Ben Chesney, David Starr, Larry Garrett, Jerry Newberry, Leroy Hittson, Donley Harrington, Norma Jean Lucas, Lynn Carney, Charlie Barnett and Chad Jones.

Visitors included:

Ron Frederiksen of the Arklahoma Steel Club, who brought his steel and joined the line. We enjoyed having you, Ron. Hope to see you again. :) Also, we enjoyed visiting with David Starr's family, Donna Newberry, Marlene Barnett and Lynn's Hubby, Mark. Thanks for the wonderful songs, Donna. :)

Highlights included:

Donna Newberry sang: "You Beat All I've Ever Seen" with Jerry Newberry leading on steel, and "Together Again."
Gerald Sparks sang and played: "Another Bridge to Burn."
Leroy sang "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" with Bill Myrick leading on steel.
Larry Garret played and sang, "We Could."
Our guest, Ron Frederiksen, led on "Last Date."
Jerry Newberry played "Take These Chains From my Heart."
Ben Chesney played "Singing the Blues."

Lynn shot the photos and conducted interviews. She also brought homemade fudge. We had coffee and cookies too.

Join us next month, same time, same place.

We shared an afternoon of awesome music, fun and fellowship. Time passed too fast. Thanks everyone! :)

We had a GREAT time yesterday. Enjoyed all the music and songs. Ben Chesney sang a good song. He wrote it. He gave me a CD. I know all the songs will be good. We enjoyed visiting with everyone. It was good to see the Barnetts. Glad Charlie was feeling well enough to come over. Maybe next time he will be able to bring his steel. Hope to be able to come up and see everyone again down the road.

Thanks, Dana and everyone. It was wonderful to see Charlie out and looking so good. God bless this sweet man.

It's a shame Vance, Leon and Virgil missed our jam - though we would have had to put them out in the hall. :) On that last number when all the steels played together, I thought the room had sprouted wings and was taking off. Varoooooooooom. :D
