JIM---BRING A BASS PLAYER!!!!!!!!

Jim Hartley · Post by **Jim Hartley** » 2 Nov 2005 9:17 am

Hey Stephen,

I can keep time, it's 12:30, but I might be rushing it a bit.

OK OK Truce!!! You know I was just funnin' and we really did appreciate you filling in when we had no bass player at the last jam. I am bringing a bass player for Saturday night to help out. I'll see ya there and I'll buy the hot dogs. [This message was edited by Jim Hartley on 02 November 2005 at 04:48 PM.]

Hey, Jim, I SURE hope you didn't think I was serious! (For those reading this, Jim is one of the FINEST drummers I've ever heard, or played with)
But my bass playing is about like my dancing---Folks know they've been exposed to SOMETHING, they're just not sure what!
Jim, Wayne, Woody, Jerry---Even a newbie like me knows that Saluda wouldn't be the same great show that it is, woithout you guys (and a few more players

)

These guys are tops, sure like to play with them, they help cover my mistakes, because they sound so good the people do not hear the miscues by the steel players.
See ya'll there.

Larry, it's not that I'm mad at you, I just don't like you very much...

It'll tickle me to see you, Yvonne, and ol' man Crawford next weekend! I even bought a new amp. Same old licks, though

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 10 Nov 2005 1:19 pm

Yeah, Steve...don't forget my birthday!

Ernest Cawby · Post by **Ernest Cawby** » 10 Nov 2005 2:57 pm

In all this foolishness, I forgot to mention two guys who've really been tons of help. Hats off to L.M. English, for helping get the P.A. straightened out---L.M. has done as much for the local guys as anybody out there, and he's STILL at it. THANKS, L.M.
And Terry Rogers, for doing such a great job as emcee. Terry's got the right personality for the job, know lots of jokes, AND, he's one of Herby Wallace's favorite singers! You don't get much better credentials than that!
So thanks to Terry, L.M., the folks in the kitchen---all those folks who do the REAL work!
Oh, yeah, if any of y'all see Larry Moore, tell him,"Steve says 'Hello'".

Larry Moore · Post by **Larry Moore** » 13 Nov 2005 1:28 pm

Stephen,
I'll see you on Saturday afternoon

Larry

Ernest Cawby · Post by **Ernest Cawby** » 13 Nov 2005 2:58 pm

Stephen I will also see you Sat. You will not believe the works on this Pro. 1, it is not only the pretist guitar you have ever seen but the best playing, it is smoothe, responsive, long sustaining, best sounding.
Just you wait and see. My Professional will not be ready till the last week in Dec.

Hey Ernie, it better not be prettier than the ELDORADO Super Pro I'm bringing...BTW, I'm also bringing young Robert Rogers with me; he's going to play some fiddle for us and also maybe a couple of steel songs with me. See ya'll there, and S.G., I hope there'll be plenty of hot dogs available.

Russ, I'll be there with my red and gold GFI, so you'll get to see it for the first time. I'm lookin' forward to the show! Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10

Ernest Cawby · Post by **Ernest Cawby** » 15 Nov 2005 6:20 pm

Stephen, we may have to have a steel guitar beauty contest, Russ thinks the Eldorado is better looking than my Blue Darlin 2, and bret thinks his GFI is better.

Ernie, I've seen pictures of the new Sho-Bud Pro I. What a beautiful steel guitar! Blue is actually one of my favorite colors. I look forward to seeing the new Sho-Bud up close. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10

Jim Hartley · Post by **Jim Hartley** » 16 Nov 2005 9:17 pm

Hey folks,

For those of you who may not know about Robert Rogers,let me tell you, we are all in for a real treat. Robert is one of the really fine young players who just keeps gettin' better and better. If you haven't already planned on being in Saluda this weekend, make your plans now. Trust me, you don't want to miss this fine young player. Oh yeah, that Hicks guy ain't too bad either.

See ya there,
Jim
