I am planning on attending. I think having the show so close to the Dallas show in the past probably hurt attendance.

You convinced me last year with the TALENT and the screens so we can see the playing up close and personal.

As I've said many times in the past, this is one of the finest shows in the Country. I know Larry Self very well as I played every show he did when he was in FL and his shows are always first class in every respect, so I'm sure you won't want to miss this one. I hope to see you all there.

Roger...I'm sure she'd love it if she had time. You know she used to be married to a steel player and she STILL loves steel guitar. Now that's saying something right there.

I just recently joined the forum. I'm a bass player but love steel. I'll be at the choo choo. I'll be helping Ben Brogden, not that he needs it, but he'll get some breaks.
