I can't beleave it is only a little over two weeks away and we will be having our 8Th Mini Steel Guitar Jamboree.It seems like we just got over having our 7TH.The band is Susan Adams and Side Kicks which is a good band.These bands do a great job of playing with the Steel players.It is up to the steel Player to play the songs he or She wants to play.If they want the band to play what they want is up to the Steel Player it is his choice.It works out great that way and everything goes smooth.

Sam; I agree , steelers choice , The way to go . I agree on Lovin' country great band to work with. {Ralph}

Yes Ralph that is the correct way for a Steel Guitar Association to be run with the band letting the Steel Players choose the songs to play.Some people don't think that way and on a Steel Show if you have out of State Steel Players comming in they play first as they have a long drive back home.It is not about the bands it is about the Steel players.If you let the Bands take over there is no sence in having a Steel Guitar Association.The Mini Jamboree's are about the Steel Players and that is the way it will be run.We are booked all the way to December at Post
15 and I have all the bands booked already.

Susan Adams & Side Kicks - March 22"ND
Manny Massa & Goat Ropers - May 24'TH
Doggie & Cow Pie Poachers - June 28"TH
Linda Leslie Love'N Country - Aug.16TH
Ray Cross & Country Heartbeats -Sept.20"TH STEEL SHOW

Thank You Ralph. I just keep trying and trying to make this Steel Guitar Assocation the best and get the job done and done correctly.WE have all our Bands and the hall all booked for the year and we will have lost of more good Idea's to work with to make this Organization better than the first one I founded and Anna and I ran for 6 Steel shows with no help from anyone.WE did struggle the first two but we managed to get it all together andgot it running. That gave me the experience to be able to know how to run sucessful Steel Guitar Associations and also a Steel Guitar IN that I ran in North East Tennessee.I love doing this and I love the Steel Guitar even thou I'm not a good Steel player.I don't intend to be a great steel player. I just enjoy sitting behind it and doing what I can do with it.My Wife Anna has been a great help to me with this great experience of Founding and running the New England Steel Guitar Association and also when I founded and ran the Rhode Island Steel Guitar Association.You have to love the work and the people you work with to have a succesful Steel Guitar Association.If I had to Start all over from the very beginning of both Steel Guitar Clubs I would do it the same way.I know that some people are up set with me but they will get over it as I'm doing what I enjoy and I'm trying to keep the Steel Guitar going.There is no need anyone to be up set with someone that is try to Keep the Steel Guitar going as I try my best Too.
