This is going to be a great show. Don't miss this one.

Remember the proceeds from this and every Saluda show goes to the Shriners Childrens Hospitals. You can enjoy a great show and contribute to a most worthy cause at the same time.

Buddy Walker and Charles Reece have put on more Steel Guitar Shows than Anyone out there. The Total number of shows approaches 70 now. Each time they get better and better. There is a very loyal group of supporters that come to every show and give their very best each and everytime. That is the key to the great success this event has enjoyed.

A Great line up of players and a terrific Staff band.
3 Hall of Fame Members.

And Many Atlanta Country Music HOF members participate in the Saluda Shows as well.

The Staff Band alone are

Wayne Smith -Bass
Wayne Stowers - Drums
Johnny Thomas - Guitar
Billy Puckett - Guitar

Then these players support the Saluda Show also as well.

Garland Nash -Lap Steel & Pedal Steel
Larry Moore - Pedal Steel
Barney Miller - Pedal Steel
Larry Sasser - Pedal Steel
Bill Ferguson is the newest member. - Pedal Steel

BTW

There is A rumor going around that Bill Stafford may be at the May Show. I just started it! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_3_66.gif' border=0></a>[This message was edited by John Floyd on 12 January 2004 at 11:01 PM.]

Sorry, I won't be able to make this show as I try to do as many of the Saluda shows as possible. I am doing a show in FL on Saturday the 21st and there's just no way to make it back to Saluda to play Sunday. I am planning on being at the next one in May.

This is one of the best bargains around for a steel Show.

I've been looking at some of the other events coming up and Buddy Walker has then all beat on prices as compared to who is on the show.

$5 For Saturday Night and $10 on Sunday. $15 total for a weekend of entertainment.

Jeff Newman's Seminar is not included in these prices!!

For this most reasonable price you get to see and hear Two ISGC HOF members and a bunch of top notch Steelers, Randy Beavers, Tommy Dodd, Bill Ferguson ,Bill Nicholson, Larry Moore, Roger Crawford, Joe Turner, Charles Reece, Bob Strum, Rob Parker, Ernest Tuttle,David Hall, Tony Prior sez he is coming and many more than I can remember at this time.

Every player is out among the crowd and available to talk, sign Autographs, Sell Their CD's and Merchandise.

John Hughey and Rob Parker are going to make some magic sounds come off that stage during Johns show!! Be sure to check out the CD's Rob has for sale, He has every player known to man on those CD's and with his rich voice that adds up to some great music.

Nobody really knows who might just surprise us and show up unannounced. There are some Heavy duty steelers sitting in the Audience at times.

There are Four weekends a year when people Flock to Saluda and for a good reason, Buddy Walker and Charles Reece put on one of the best shows going and they have done this more times than anyone out there in total number of shows.

The Staff Band is second to none!!

The Food is good!!

The music is Great!

Southern Hospitality at its finest!!

All of this to Help the Shriners Childrens Hospitals.

Remember to Whoop and Holler real loud when each player finishes a song, they love this and especially The Georgia Gang. If you hear one of the Staff band pickers play a particularily good lick and it happens often, Yell and applaud them, They Love it too!!

This is the place to have a good time and enjoy yourself.

Don't miss this one.

(Larry likes me)

He didn't say it exactly like that, He said if you would carry his and Yvonnes stuff in and out of the building for the show that he would like you better than he does now.

Hey, John, if that's what it takes

As soon as I Bring Charles Reece's stuff in, I'll go get Larry's. And I think I'll get Joe Turner to carry my dobro, and, and GOSH, maybe Woody'll show me a half-diminished scale! Sounds like a good weekend![This message was edited by Stephen Gambrell on 25 January 2004 at 12:04 PM.]
