Chrissy, I will be there.

What a great show!! Everyone sounded great and a unexpected visit from Dave Easley too! I had to leave right when Lyle and Dave were getting ready to jam, I'll bet that was cool! Also it was nice to have Michael Scott from Steel Radio.com there too. My wife Chrissy did a killer job doing bass and keys at the same time (as always) all day. Thanks to Rich Mounce for all his hard work on this show!!

Dyke you were right. Dave and I had a ball backing Chrissy,Rich,and a member I forgot his name. Having a senior moment. The kid,Johnny Sawyer, was unreal as was Dave Easley. Can't wait til the next jam. Lest I forget, Muttonhead and Bobby Watson on lead and the drummer,another senior moment.

We had a great time spending the day at the Rose Bowl, my 1st time there. The CISGA people are great to hang with. The music was just great, from all the players to the staff band. Had to get back to Springberg just after John Sawyer played and I know we missed some great playing after that. Wish we had that type of responce to steel and country music closer to home. Thanks to all who contributed to a great day, and can't wait until the next CISGA event.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Joe Fortune on 26 September 2005 at 07:52 AM.]</p></FONT>

I also had a great time at the CISGA show at the Rosebowl Sunday. Dyke, Billy, Bob, John, Dave, and Lyle all sounded great on their steels. Good to have such a nice turn out for it too.

Lyle, the drummers names are Jimmy Willis and Bo Bobell. They both did a fine job, as usual.

Looking forward to the next show!
Chrissy

My thanks to everyone who showed up and helped make the Urbana CISGA show a complete success. This turned out to be the biggest local show we have had so far. It was great for me to return to the Rose Bowl where I played for over eleven years. I want to thank Steve Campbell for providing the club for our show.

I want to thank the staff band (love all you guys) for the great job you do. Without your support CISGA would not survive.

The players for this show were outstanding. We appreciate all your efforts and support helping CISGA get bigger and better.

I thank Darin Hamilton and his wife Shari and Angie Cox for all their help with the show.

We are working on a Dec show and we will keep everyone informed when and where this one will be. We are working to keep moving the shows all over Central Illinois but it can definitely be a chore sometimes! Joe we may even try to do a show around Springfield sometime next year. If we do we will be looking to you to help organizae it.

Again thanks to EVERYONE for making the Urbana CISGA show one of the most successful local shows we have had to date.
