Hi Steve don't forget I will more than likely be driving down from Maine.You can put me on the playing list but if I can't make it I will let you know ahead of time or if I get snowed in which i don't think will happen as it don't snow until around November if then.

Gary has left the building. At least my house, last Friday. I did have another sighting of him at my place of business this past Wednesday. Seriously, his job involves travel a lot and he is not on line during his road trips.

Well it is getting closer and closer and I am getting excited. Folks this show is quickly becoming a major event in the steel guitar community and it's a show that should not be missed by anyone wanting to hear great music and meet a lot of great people. Last year's show was a highlight event of all that I attended. The reason is that I had so much fun the entire time I was there. The facilities were great and Steve as well as his Dad made things really good for everyone...musicians and listeners alike. I am looking forward to it and I hope all of you who have read this thread get your rooms reserved right away.

Bob, stay in the house until this show is over or Mike and myself will be on you like a chicken on a june bug.
P.S. Thanks again for the help moving my equipment on and off stage last year.

Hey Bob...you might be crazy but you ain't stupid now stop playing with things that have moving parts

Matter of fact you might want to take some of those pedals and knee levers off your guitar before you hurt someone with that thing

Seriously though, Bob, you are one of the big reasons I had so much fun there and I know we will have a lot more fun this year. Now just sit down there behind your steel and don't move till it's time to play
