The schedule of players is up on the website now. So sorry for the delay getting it there. I accept all the blame.

Well we are getting closer. I see from another post that Leona and Russ are doing Pearl's on the 13th. That will give them a chance to get the bugs out for our show the next week-end.

I just made a reservation at the Hotel but do I have to register to attend the events? Is audio recording allowed? what about video recording?

George McLellan · Post by **George McLellan** » 13 Mar 2011 5:02 am

Larry, Craig Davidson or Sue Hamilton would be the people who would know for sure any details. Check their website for details or contact either of them.

Well here we are winding down in the final week. Leona was sweet enough to talk about us on Willie's Place. We are all back from our gig in Mississippi with Maggie, and we are ready to get on with the show. Susie is still answering the phone for David Church tickets and seats are filling fast.

Craig, do we have to reserve in advance for the David Church show? I'd hate to drive all the way to Wisconsin and not be able to get a seat.

Craig A Davidson · Post by **Craig A Davidson** » 15 Mar 2011 12:57 pm

Dennis I would advise it since David's show is separate from the rest of the show. Call Susie at this number for David seats. 715-213-3793.

Craig & Sue,
Best of luck on your show, we know it will be another GREAT one. Yes, Leona is in top form...we got to see & hear her in Dallas last weekend. Russ is sounding great as usual also. He did not back her in Dallas, Mike Johnson had her up in his set.........yes Sir, she sang yes Ma'am!!

Now that we are back home and the show is over for this year, I want to thank all the players and fans that helped make this show a success. We could not have done it alone. We are already starting to plan for next year. We hope to see all of you back and bring your friends.

It was indeed another great show, and the hospitality was second to none as always. It was great playing some songs with both Craig and Leona Williams this year, and I'm already looking forward to next year!

I just want to add my 2 cents that I thought the Dairy State Steel Show was inspiring and excellent; and hope to see many more down the road. Hats off to Craig, Susie, Mark, Mike, and Lynnette for their great work in making this happen! The music, friendship, and hospitality cannot be beat.

It was another excellent show, and I'd like to add my thanks to Craig & Sue, Michael & Lynette and Mark, the superb House Band, plus all the others who worked to put on another great "Udder Jam."

The featured performers put on excellent shows, and the individual players gave us inspired performances as well.

This show is the main thing that makes the 3rd weekend in March worth looking forward to!

I had a great time in the Rapids show. When you get to play guitar behind Rusty Hicks, Leona, Danny, and Kyle, you better have your "A" game on and boy did the band work hard for everyone. All the Midwest pickers must have woodshedded all winter, cause they were on top. What a blast and can't wait till next year.

Kirk P Dighton · Post by **Kirk P Dighton** » 27 Mar 2011 5:05 am

This show was "over-the-top" this year with all the talent in house. You cannot beat the friendship at these shows and the many people who are indeed strong faith-based people. Thanks to my friend Lefty for sitting in when Dad and I played our horns together. It was indeed an honor.

Put on your calenders October 21-23 for the NEISGS in Waterloo Iowa!!!!
