hi Terry,
We certainly enjoyed your superb playing during last year's show and wish you and Pat could be with us again this coming February. The number of 'inside' and 'outside' chords you find on E9 still amazes me. Thanks for supporting our show. ...lefty

HI Lefty, It sounds like your show will be HOT! You have some real great talent lined up with Scotty, Russ & Laney, and Herb.If you can make this one folks, dooittt!!!

Chad Karnitz · Post by **Chad Karnitz** » 29 Dec 2004 10:31 am

I'm glad to see that the reluctant legend of Iowa steel guitar Greg Davissssson will be there this year. Rumor has it he's planned a setlong tribute to Steve Lawrence, Robert Goulet, Muddy Waters and Scott Joplin to be played on a doubleneck Sho-Bud Maverick.

The back-up band is top notch, too. I just wish the fiddle player with the long hair would sing more....

Chad, The fiddle player, Glen Runnellsssss, said he would sing only if you would play and sing you Julie Andrews/Judy Garland medley. You know where you start with Supercaifragalisticexpealidosious and end it with Somewhere Over The Rainbow complete with costume changes and ruby slippers.

Hey Lefty, Craig, and Chad, you guys are making me homesick for good old Iowa. I wish that Gail and I could be there, but it is not likely at this time. Our thoughts our with all of you and I know that everyone who attends will have a great time.

Thanks Lefty for your inspiration, and helping me to start the Minnesota Steel Guitar Shows. I had a great time doing them, before I moved to Colorado.

Be sure to say hello to all of your many attendees for me.

Best to all,
Dennis and Gail

Mark it ain't easy. Chad can do it though. It's the dance routines that are really hard to combine.

Dennis Detweiler · Post by **Dennis Detweiler** » 31 Dec 2004 10:52 am

Ok Tommie Pickett!

I've been trying to be people most of my life. However, you're right. I have been a little shy of being real people. I'm going to show up this year and give it another try

Kirk, Curtis and I are going to try a threesome this year. Some Andrew sisters, McQuire sisters, Supremes. We haven't been people, but we'll see what happens.

Craig, dashing! Can't wait!

Hey ya'll...it's gonna be great to see Bruce C.and the Pickett's from the Quad Cities show; also Dean D. from Peoria..it's great the way you guys support each other's efforts to keep these shows going...I'll do my part at Lefty's by restraining myself when the urge to vocalize hits me....
See ya'll soon,
Russ

I've been trying to attend this show for several years, but couldn't because of a schedule conflict. So far, this year looks good, and I have made my reservations. I'm really looking forward to meeting Lefty, Craig and especially DeVere Adamson, who was so kind to me years ago when I was a road musician and needed equipment. See you there!

Picture Craig with Ruby slippers - Don't that make you feel warm and fuzzy all over!!

Hello Lefty, Count me in... It will be a great show with Russ and Herby! Looking forward to Laney doing some of those Connie Smith tunes too! I wonder if Russ remembers doing those Emmons Guitar Courses in the early 70's! I still have mine... I guess Herby did some for Emmons around the same time too! C Ya in February...
