[Brad Bechtel]

Sounds like a very busy couple of days. What a lineup!

[Chad Winn]

Is Dick Meis a forum member?

[Jeff Strouse]

Chad, I'm not sure, but you can send him a message via his website: www.pedalsteelguitar.net

Hi Brad - I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!

[HowardR]

Hey Jeff.....did you tell Brad about the moderator's initiation to the non pedal sessions?......Joey Ace hasn't been the same since......

[Joey Ace]

Brad and I were in Nashville last November.
I warned him about it, but his memory has been failing.

I'm unable to attend the TSGA this year. I'll be thinking of ya'll as I'm gigging in Georgetown, Ontario.

Have fun, and do Rick Alexander proud!

[Jeff Strouse]

Howard, I forgot to tell him about it...maybe we should keep it a surprise...

Sorry you can't make it Joey. Brad's in for a treat..

There are also some slight schedule changes which I updated in the first post.

[Gerald Ross]

Any weather bets for Dallas?

Two years ago the Dallas show had sunny skies and temps in the upper 70's - everyone was finding excuses to go outside.

Last year - cold, rainy and temps in the 40's. Lot's of time spent in the bar.

Fun either way.

[HowardR]

There's an outside?.......

[Jeff Strouse]

Bumped for a Schedule Update. Pee Wee Whitewing phoned, and unfortunately, he won't be able to join us this year.

Howard, yes there's an outside...I found it when I accidently went out the wrong door of the fire stairwell. I was trying to find a short cut to the lobby, but it led outside, and the door slams shut. Only problem is, you have to go around the whole hotel to get back to the front entrance. It wasn't a fun walk in the cold, windy, rain last year...

[Mike Neer]

Bummer, Jeff. Maybe use that time for wine tasting?

[Wally Pfeifer]

Doesn't feel so good to have someone register and then cancel,-does it? Believe me, I know all about it since being on the HSGA Joliet Committee for about 25 years. It becomes a nail-biter at times. But usually I can predict pretty close as to who will cancel and who will not.
Good luck on the show. Even though Rick was only able to attend one convention at Joliet in 2007,-we miss him.
Aloha,
Wally
