Unfortunately for me, I've been handed a deadline for some new music at the end of January so I will be unable to attend the festivities. I'll miss all my friends for sure but there is certainly no lack of remarkable talent so there'll be plenty of great music to go around (Billy, I hope you received the email I sent several days ago).

Miguel,Bummer I really enjoyed your original music and great steel playing last year,Stu

The emails are just flyin' with last minute details --- getting close and it is lining up to be another great show.

Sorry to hear you will not be there Mike (give Ms T a kiss for me) and I will see you guys soon.

Billy Easton · Post by **Billy Easton** » 9 Jan 2009 10:34 am

With a big production, there are bound to be last minute changes. It is such a monumental task to schedule everyone and accommodate as many as possible. Both Scotty and Albert Tally will attest to this.

Mike Smith, we are gonna MISS you bigtime, buddie. But of course we understand that making a living comes before the fun. Randy Beavers has also had to decline due to work demands. These guys are both super players, and we hope to have them next year.

You may also add Lynn Owsley to the player list, as he will be able to make it after all. And Lynn hints that there may be a special surprise guest. This is exciting, and it will be our biggest show yet! So come on out and enjoy the best steel guitar west of Dallas!

Bob Case, it will be a pleasure to have you back in Arizona...I don't think you have missed a show! You are a great player, and you deserve to be heard. Thanks for supporting us all these years.

Patrick Hickey...this is your first SWSGA steel show in Phoenix, but please don't make it your last time!

Chuck,It's been below zero for over a week,I came home from a practice two nights ago and it was 22 below.

Billy Easton · Post by **Billy Easton** » 10 Jan 2009 2:40 pm

AMAZING!! I have had such an overwhelming response from people who want to play on the show, that I have had to adjust our times!! So we will be starting at 2:00pm on Thursday and going till midnight, with a short dinner break. Then on Friday and Saturday we will start at 8:30am and go till midnight. There will be a lunch and dinner break, just so that you don't OD on steel guitar!! Come and join us, this show is GONNA BE GREAT!!

Mike Mantey · Post by **Mike Mantey** » 14 Jan 2009 7:31 am

Well it is getting closer and cannot wait. I invite everyone to swing by the Mullen rooms, and test drive the greatest steel today. We will have several G2's to try and a few to purchase. We will be on hand to answer any questions.

We will have guitars setup with head phones and amps. So privacy or power you can try the best. Your more then welcome to bring your own gear to try them through and compare.

We will also have a few pre-owned guitars for sale.

So bring your picks, bars and whatever else you need, tighten down the hat and get prepared to be blown away.

Hope to see you all there. This is a great show put on by some great people.
