Ready for QC! Looking forward to the schedule.
Bruce, sounds like Wisc. went very well this year. Send me an e-mail, couldn't get through on this one.
Looking forward to Seeing Mike Sweeney again. What a picker and genuine nice person! See you all there.

Hey Bruce, This is it. Lookin' forward to your show next month. The Col ballroom is the perfect setting for a GREAT! Steel guitar jam.
I have fond memories of the evolution of this show from Rock Island Ill. to Bluegrass Ia. then to the Col. And that time I hit the "stinkin'" deer and couldn't make it......Hmmmmmmmm.

Hey Mark- I heard you on that Bush Hog. You really get a great growl out of that!!! Do you have True Tones on it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Remember- Deer Crossing and silos don't mix. How is the fruit fly epidemic? I hope it is under control. In college, I did a biology project crossing red eyed and black eyed fruit flies. They were called "drasophila melanogastor flies" I am just a bundle of worthless knowledge.

See you there!

Hey Kirk I had that "gasrtogangliophnic" thing in my amp once. It knocked the "Pike" right off this guys fork at the fish fry I was playin' at the time. Also, did you notice the bananas around the waste of the cow on the jagwire strings wrapper?
Deer or no deer I gonna be there.....
It's always a great show.

Bruce,I am really looking forward to coming and playing at your show there in the Quads this year. I hope to see many of my friends there as well. I might even do the banana-bar thing unless Mark beats me to it. God bless, Albert Svenddal p.s. I have moved back to the Minneapolis, MN area recently, so I hope that won't disqualify me from your Iowa show. lol

Wow, just a few weeks away and I'm looking forward to the show. My plans of right now are to attend. What's the hotel situation like up there? Bruce, can you email me directions? steelinbyrequest@charter.net

Kirk - are you bringing the Western Justice Band with you? They're awesome!

See you all at the end of the month!

Miss Lana

Miss Lana, Yes The Western Justice Band will be there. They are an awesome bunch of people. Albert, Let me know what kind of bananas you need and ripeness level. I'll see what I can do. Really looking forward to this show, the last one for the Iowa / Wisconsin trio.

I saw a lot of silos at the Waterloo show and I saw a lot of bananas at the Wisconsin Rapids show. I think you could get better tone with a silo-bar(un-opened).

Thanks Kirk! Hey, as long as you folks keep on with that great music, I'll play it.

Thanks for the link on your website too!

The QC Steel Show is getting real close and hope you all will put it on your calendars. Everyone will appreciate the outstanding performance of headliner Mike Sweeney whose playing can only be described as awesome! In addition to being a great picker, he is also a great guy! Come, join us at the Col Ballroom in Davenport on Saturday, April 29. ...lefty
