Thank You 2011 TSGA

[Mike Castleberry]

A big thank you to all of the TSGA, who made the 2011 show a great success. It seems to get bigger year after year. It was great to be a small part of this huge event.

I would like to thank Patrick Hickey for playing bass on my set and playing guitar in the Jackson Room, Red Kilby and Ray Harrison for their great vocals, Buck Grantham for playing guitar and the house band (Roy and Paul) for their outstanding musical talent.

A special thank you to Dawn, Harry and David Jackson for building me a great pedal steel guitar and allowing me an opportunity to play in the Jackson Room. Try doing a set after Zane King and Rusty Rhoads have smoked their guitars. I thought about setting my guitar on fire with lighter fluid, to give the same affect. They are fabulous musicians and it was a pleasure to share time with them at the show.

Thanks to all who visited the Jackson Room and thank you for the many compliments. I had the pleasure of meeting people from many states and countries. I hope to see you again in 2012.

Mike
