Chuck, I sent you an e-mail three days ago, it would have said it was coming from "John Scott." Should I send again?

Mike, check your mail. I'm interested if you don't mind a real newbie in the group.

Well you guys can count me in to be at the jam as well as at one of Mike Sweeney's siminars. As some of you know, I was recently out in Nashville and had a great time with a lot of friends. While I was there I was able to get a first hand session with Mike Sweeney on a one to one basis. Heck we stayed at it all day. What a great experience. Not only is Mike a great player but he has some of the finest qualities as a steel guitar instructor. Take it from me....I am hard headed and dumber than a box of rocks but Mike cut right through all that and showed me things that I just never saw before. He will tell you the why's and why nots and will do it in a way that makes good sense. He also allowed me to Video the entire day so that I could later use it for a reference when those "senior moments" hit me at home. Never have I gotten more or understood it more than I did with Mike. I plan on getting back out in the spring....but the siminar will hold me till I can schedule another trip. If you have ever wanted to take a big step forward on the steel and understand more...look up Mike Sweeney.

Until then I will see you folks in Northern Virginia
