Okay, now I'm afraid.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Moving right along, this show has some great features that are unique.

The large screen video that shows the players hands on the neck(s). This is a great learning tool as well as showing the different styles and technique of each player.

The question & answer segment. Where else can you ask some of the best players on this planet anything that you like? Want to ask Joe Wright about pick blocking? Go ahead. Want to ask John Hughey what he had for lunch? Be our guest.

The Saturday night super jam.....a tour de force of the best round robbin steel playing that boggles the mind and toggles the senses.

Be there or be square....

Bump It Baby!!

Less than two weeks away. My bags are all packed and my car is all filled up with "high test" gasoline.

Message for "Fooch": I want you to be on your best behavior and hold that violin bow properly. I'm bringing my daughter (a classical violinist) and I want her to be impressed with our country picking.

Can you all believe that our friend Dick Lee from up state New York is going to miss this premier steel show. He's been mumbling about some hunting trip. GOOD GREIF!!!!

Hunting! Hunting! Did someone mention hunting? I once left the show, on Sunday after it was over, and went straight to the hunting camp, so I could make opening morning. Talk about being dragged out tired. I think I slept as a whole herd went by.

I understand that steel guitars on display will be Fessenden, GFI, and Lamar? Am I correct?

Fooch Fischetti · Post by **Fooch Fischetti** » 28 Oct 2003 4:43 pm

Merle,

Let's see, holding the bow properly... that'd be with my right hand, right?

Impressing a classical violinist... that's a lot tougher. Maybe I can work in a harmonic minor scale... if I can find a harmonica...

Seriously, it's quite a thrill to get to play fiddle with some of my heroes and all the great players. I try to absorb all I can, but when I sit back down at my steel... I still sound like me.

Howard, yes, Jerry, Gene and Lamar have rented display space and will have their products on display. We get inquiries each year from players who want to bring various steel guitar equipment to the show which they have for sale.

We are not running a flea market. We are unable to accomodate such requests and will not tolerate any variance of our policy. This Forum has a wonderful section for selling used gear. The PSGA Newsletter also is a good vehicle for selling used gear in our classified ads, which are free to PSGA members.

Man, am I looking forward to this show!!

What an excellent line-up, of pro-players. This should be a blast!! The PSGA...rules, & I thank you.

I booked my hotel room, so I can see/hear...as much of this 2 day show, as possible. Can't wait, to hear all of the great players...& see some of the people, I only get to see...once a year.

I'll agree with Joe Casey. Jim Roule is a fantastic,Steeler, and 6 string player!!! I wish I could be there to hear him do his thing. If he drives his 18 wheeler as good as he picks, he's a hell of a truck driver!!!

Fooch,
It's nice to see you on the forum. Actually I'm sure my daughter will be very impressd. She's a great violinist and can read music fluently, however, she's always amazed when she hears someone,like you, take an unrehearsed solo at a split seconds notice and never seem to run out of notes. Michelle and I agree that one must aquire a certain talent to play an instrument comfortably but it is yet another talent to be able to compose and play a tastfull melody "on the fly", a talent which you, my friend, have. We'll be sure to speak to you at the show. See you all there. Merle

PS As far as you sounding like yourself on steel, don't forget, we heard you last year. I wish myself sounded like yourself.

Great news! Just had a communication from the great Buddy Cage, advising us that he plans on attending our 30th Annual PSGA show in Norwalk, CT this weekend. He will not perform, but he intends to be present either on Nov. 8th or 9th. This is a great bit of news, especially for dedicated Cage fans.

Just 4 days to go! Time's fun when you're having flies. The brand new PSGA Polo shirts (Embroidered with our logo) have just been received in time for the show.

Post by **Joey Ace** » 4 Nov 2003 10:08 am

Is Scotty the only non-pedal player on the show?

Lawrence Lupkin · Post by **Lawrence Lupkin** » 4 Nov 2003 10:28 am

Quick quesion-
Do I need to bring any PSGA memebership identification, or is my ugly mug enough?

HowardR · Post by **HowardR** » 4 Nov 2003 1:00 pm

Lawrence, you'll need your green cards, you know, the ones with the presidents pictures on them....

those will entitle you to a handshake, a pat on the back (if you're one of the first 25 people), and a cup of water, gratis...

Jeez. And they say money can't buy happiness.
