I would like to thank Ronnie for letting Carlene and me be a part of his great show. We just arrived back home and had a great time. I had obligations back home so we could not stay overnight. We got to visit with a lot of our steel friends and had a ball.

What a great weekend in Hot Springs. I think this is the best Show that Ronnie has produced. Greatest players anywhere, plus great sound and fellowship second to none.
In spite of all his difficulties, the show was Continued. Everyone played their hearts out to make it a great success. Thanks to Ronnie and all the Artist who played and the great crowd who were so responsive to the music. The audience really made the show worth while. Great folks. God Bless all who helped Ronnie get ready and all who assisted during the Show including the band who were really making things come together. Thanks to the band. I can't wait until next year. Wayne

We really had a great time. Thanks to Ronnie and all of the Neighbors clan. The back up band was great this year. My cuz, Roy Rosetta kinda kept us all together during the weekend. Real glad Ben Brogden came and played with us. Real fun guy to be around. We had a real great group of steel players and everything just came together good. Let's do it again!!!!!!!

Janice and I had a great time at Ronnie's. Everyone always makes us feel so welcome. Your kindness never goes unnoticed and we appreciate it. We really enjoyed seeing,visiting, and hearing you all again. Ronnie always has a great lineup of players. We wanted to say a special thanks to some folks that helped me on my set. Thanks, Henry Matthews for the great fiddle work. Robert Matthews' bass playing never fails to amaze me. Also had a dear friend sitting in on piano, Brett Traylor. Thanks Brett, fantastic job. By the way, Brett plays great steel, too.
We are already looking foward to next year.

We just wanted to thank Ronnie & Faye for allowing us to play at this years convention. We had a wonderful time and it was so good to see the many friends that attend the Hot Springs show. The back-up band(aka-The Hole In The Wall Band-Haha) was great with Roy, Ben, David, Buck, and to Bob Dell for helping me on bass. Rob Parker did a great job as M.C. Everyone was so nice to us and we really appreciate being a part of such a nice family. Again, thank you,"Ronnie and Faye".

This year was my first time ever to attend Ronnie's Steel Guitar show, and I see that I have really been missing out on a truly awesome experience! It was such an honor to be able to hear and visit with so many great pickers! Mr. Roy, or should I say "Mr. 88," you absolutely blew me away with your piano magic! Also, I would like to extend a special thanks to my dear friend Mr. Ken Williams for granting me the opportunity to play keyboard on his set. Ken, you never fail to astonish me with your steel guitar wizardry! In addition, it was such a treat to hear my pal Jack Matthews deliver some great tunes on that classic ZB! Also, I must commend my good friend Henry Matthews on his fine steel and fiddle work this weekend; keep up the good work, buddy! Thanks to all for the great time! I can hardly wait until next year!!

"Thanks" Brett for the nice compliment. I gotta tell you that it really was my pleasure to hear you play with such a refreshing style. Wish we had more time to discuss techniques, etc. maybe I could steel some of your licks . I really would like to hear you play your steel also. From what I'm told, you are a very talented steel player as well. Maybe next year at Ronnie's show I could back you up on piano while you play a set on steel.
Ronnie's show this year was exceptionally good. All the players came with their "A" game. Ronnie always puts on a first class show and this year was no exception.
I was very happy to get to work with my long time bass playing wizard and friend, Ben Brogdon. What a nice surprise it was to have him come in from Pigeon Forge, Tn. and be part of the show. David Bass(drums), Bob Dell (bass) and my "cuz" Buck Grantham (guitar) also rounded out a super staff band and what a pleasure it is to work with all these fine musicians each year.
A well deserved "bravo" to Ronnie and Faye Neighbors for working so very hard to produce this fine show and another well deserved "bravo" to all of the fine steel players who entertained a very receptive crowd of steel guitar lovers.
Looking forward to another great show in 2004.
......Roy
