Hey guys, this is a chance to get up on the big stage and do your stuff in a beautiful theatre like Branson.
If you dont have backup, the Middle creek musicians are top notch and read very well. Many Nashville entertainers that have come through said they would like to pack up the band and take em with them.
Just tell Bill and Brenda Harris you want to play and get signed up. We all have a lot of fun and good fellowship. 30 minute sets open now. I will definitely be there along with Fred Justice and many others so sign up and play your heart out. They have all kinds of food, tune up and rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, RV park behind the theatre and a community building all at the Rutlader Outpost Complex.

Good morning friends. It sure is good to see this much interest in this undertaking. Mr. Bill Harris has indeed bit off a large project here, but I have seen the steel players and enthusiast in this part of the country in action and you all are some of the most supportive people out the.
Its a huge job putting a steel guitar show together, and I know there are some of you that know what I'm talking about. I would like to encourage all of you reading this, to let Bill & Brenda know your intentions by posting on their Poll at the top.
This will enable them to know how to proceed in the planning of this show.
I understand they will be some big name steel players playing on this show along with many local players as well. So please do your best in supporting this new venue for our wonderful steel guitar.
I will be conducting a (3) hour seminar/session on Friday, April the 9th from 11:00 A.M. to 2;00 P.M. at the theater where the show will be held.
We will cover mainly C6th chords and voicing on the E9th tuning, along with a lot of question/answer and discussion pertaining in particular to my style of playing. I hope you will sign up for this gathering.

May I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year as well. God Bless

We have had great response to this Event. Our Saturday schedule is full of great Steel Guitar Performers. We have a few spots open for the Friday schedule. This is 30 min sessions in a concert setting for Steel Guitar Performers to show their talent. Please let us know if you are interested. Also, let us know if you want to be signed up for Fred Justice Seminar on April 9th, 11:00am to 2:00pm.

Howdy folks, Mr. Bill pretty much explained the work shop session.
You will need to bring your steel guitar and a small amp. A hand held recorder is also recommended.
Mr. Bill Harris will collect the funds for this session.
As many of you know, I don't teach the music theory approach but rather show you as we go. I think it will be helpful and fun, so lets sign up and show up boys and girls. thanks.
