Very proud to announce that Royce Tarver's heart health status has improved and he will be on our Saturday program.
Also, two long time supporters from the Alabama area will be in the line up.
Gary Moore and Herbie Stewart will treat us all to some great steel guitar music of the best kind.
Gets better every time I wake up...

Really enthused thatone of Japan's most favorite c/w singer - Hank Sasaki - will grace our stage on Friday night and then Saturday afternoon. I personally want to thank Hank for this supreme effort as he has to leave immediately after his performance for a flight to Japan. Thanks Hank, in advance.

And it keeps getting better and better!
Just confirmed that Steve Sanford will be here with the full WILLIAM MICHAEL MORGAN band for both the Friday and Saturday shows. William was with us in St. Louis and amazed everyone there with his talent. This 17 year old will be one of our next big stars and in the very near future. Look him up on the net and discover for yourself this young man's most professional ability-both on and off the stage. I have been fortunate in my music career to have been on stage with a few budding stars that really made it big, but none with the potential this young man has. This group will be on our stage both days. And he sings the country music we all like..Steel players joy to back up a singer with this great natural talent. Special treat for all of us...
Steve is playing a relatively new model EXCEL. His tone and technique is second to none. I am envious in that he gets to back up William Michail Morgan. So. just come see and hear for yourself....

Things are even getting better. Gene Breeden called me this morning and it looks like he will be able to work around his busy studio sessions and be on our stage with us. Having one of the very best guitarists in Nashville,or any where else for that matter, with us, makes our steel guitar heaven a lot more like the real thing.
Sad news in that Hank Sasaki called me this week with the terrible news that he has been diagnosed with cancer and will start tretments immediately and we are all hoping for the best for Hank's complete recovery. He will certainely be missed and thought about.
I will have the players schedule soon...
