Kansas Legend Award-Jeff Newman, Danny Shields, Jimmy Powell, Doyle Huff, Vern Page, Tom Bolinger, Jerry Sisk, Rhan Bowen and Earl "Curley" Stevens.
I would like to personally "Thank" all the steel players this year who played so great. All the backup musicians who made the playing so easy. All the guys who helped on the loading and unloading of instruments and amps. All the Ladies who worked so hard in the kitchen fixing all the food. Norma Jean from the SSSGC helping us all weekend at the door. Randy Stewart for the cooking! Great food again this year. Thank you to all the people who attended and donated money to this event. I'm astounded at the generosity of everyone.. Thank you to the City of Baxter Springs who has been so helpful in letting us have the place to have the show in! Just so many friends and Brothers in Music. I'm proud to call everyone who attended "My Friend". I'm Humbled, Ray

Hey Ray, Randy and I would also like to add our thanks to everyone. We had so much fun at the show listening to all the great music and serving all that food. Randy and I both just love to see people happy and eating, guess that's why we are both so fat.
Thank you to all the ladies, and men, who helped me in the kitchen. I would get in trouble naming names, but you know who you are, and you all know how much I appreciate you. Thanks Norma for doing my job at the door, so that I can be in the kitchen.
As Ray said, we so much appreciate all the folks who come out and play the show, come out and listen to the show, and make it possible for us to have a show like this one.
Austin and Randy and I, would like to thank the KSGA for the Steel Player of the Year award they presented to him. Austin doesn't show much emotion, but he did tell me that it was a really special moment. He was packing up his things and didn't hear a word Rob said until he called his name that night. He had to go back to the back of the room and read the plaque to see what it was he was awarded for. He was really thrilled, as were the rest of us. Thank you all so much for recognizing him.
Congrats to all the other award winners! All were so deserving of their awards.
Dana, Randy, and Austin

Ray I would like to give my congratulations to all the award recipients as well.
Having won the Pioneer award myself last year, I know what a feeling they are experiencing right now.
Thank you all at the KSGA for all you do for Steel Guitar. May God richly bless you all.

Ray, you could not have made a better statement and the KSGA could not have chosen more deserving people for their awards. Let me and Barbara add our congratulations to all of those who were given awards and a "special" congratulation to Mr. Austin Stewart. Thanks again Ray, Lee and the KSGA for having us at this great show. Our "thanks" also go out to all of the hard working guys and ladies who worked so hard to make this the great show that it is. As I said in another post "this show is what Americana is all about".
Best Wishes,
...Roy and Barbara
