Hello fellow members of the Ohio Steel Guitar Association . The O.S.G.A.Is proudly offering a seminar for members of the O.S.G.A folks . I have a date at our place we call home ,which is the Marlin Dowden Charity Fund Building at 1410 Williams Rd. here in Columbus ,Ohio . It will be free to membership as an appreciation for you being a part of a growing Association . I asked Mr. Mike Sigler if he would do this for us and he said that he would . At first i thought that it would be a good idea to bring our guitars to play along with Mike but after second thought we decided it may not be that good of an idea after all . Maybe to many amps and such . So just bring a scratch pad to take notes and write down your questions in advance so you wont forget them . The date is March -18-th at 7:00 pm . Mike said it would be nice if we all could have dinner together at the home of O.S.G.A Building . They serve a nice dinner there for $7.00. I talked to Mr. Dowden today and confirmed the date . I will have more information soon . So plan to attend this event . This is your chance to get ''Proffesional '' lessons for free .
Don't miss this opportunity to ask the questions that you have in the back of your mind . Mike is a great guy and will answer any questions that you have . See you soon ,best regards,,,Gary .<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Gary Preston on 07 February 2005 at 07:02 PM.]</p></FONT>

This will be a really great opportunity to learn, no matter what level you might be at in playing, and I know you will all find this to be an extremely valuable time in your life to have the opportunity and the honor to learn from Mike. He is indeed, one of the great masters of this instrument!

Thanks Mike.I figured since you was around Tommy when you were in Nashville, Maybe some of him rubbed off on you.

I had the honor of studying with Mike.
He is one of the best Steel Teachers I've ever known, and I've known many. Don't miss the chance to work with him.

I didn't even know Mike was taking saxophone lessons. (If you won't tell us, Mike, we'll just make up a story for you!)

"I" know the answer since I have the inside track on a new line Mike will introduce. He will have for Worldwide distribution a very good supply of Left Handed Mavericks and that will settle how many were made, Mike has cornered the market on them.

Go getum Mike.

My guess is it's the "Jerry Garcia Vintage Reissue Tuner".

Gary Preston · Post by **Gary Preston** » 12 Feb 2005 5:13 pm

My guess is that he added a suicide clutch to his guitar ! But then again !!!!!!!! We will have to wait and see . G.P.
