Saluda Convention

Tell me real slow, cause, I don't catch on real fast, but HOW did Buddy's post about a classy event, featuring some of the best regional AND national steel guitar talent, turn into a discussion of cross-dressing?
Buddy, Charles, and the other guys have worked hard over the years to make this the respected steel guitar event that it has become. Seeing Doug Jernigan, Herby Wallace, Russ Hicks, Randy Beavers...being allowed to play guitar with some old friends, just enjoying a day(or two)of fun and clean fellowship with guys like Bill Ferguson, Tommy Dodd, Larry(yes, THAT Larry)Moore and his precious wife...now, THAT'S good Saluda stuff! Fran Newman told me that Saluda was a "must" for her and Jeff. John Fabian? What a great guy! Charlie Ward, my buddy Joe Turner...That's Saluda.
So here's a tip of the hat to the two brains behind Saluda, Buddy and Charles! MAybe, if the rest of us live long enough, we'll acquire the good sense and taste of these two gentlemen. I love you, men!

Oops, probably my fault because of the pearls. But, you guys are so much fun to tease! Sorry, Buddy! From now on, I'll keep it serious. At least I'll TRY to keep it serious. How am I doing so far?

Hey Roggie
I wonder if John has Typer's Cramp.
He sure is quiet.

Hi Larry,
I know we're not really supposed to talk about this here, but it's MY turn for the Swarovski Topaz bollo tie! I know it matches your favorite boots, but you'll just have to go to Plan B - a Bandana maybe?

Stephen Gambrell · Post by **Stephen Gambrell** » 5 Aug 2004 4:39 pm

Why bother, Donna?? The only thing Larry looks good in, is Charles Reese's garage!
BTW, the BagBrell 1000Turbo Fender Re-Issue Twin Reverb prototype will be making it's debut at Saluda---any volunteers to help tote it?

The mules are about as ready as I've ever seen them. The "Georgia Gang" is another story all together, though. You never know til the last minute about those guys. Most of it depnds on Mr. Wayne. If he's havin' fun, we're all havin' fun.

Brett, we've got a crowd waiting to hear you. Why, I'll bet those Georgia boys have already left, so they'll get good seats!
Knock 'em out, pal!!
