Hey Bill,

I've been looking forward to this show since the minute last year's show ended. Without a doubt, one of my favorites. It's great to be an honorary member of the "Alabama Gang".

I know the players list is not complete, but hey, Mike and Joanie by themselves makes for a great show.

See ya there,
Jim

Herby Wallace has cleared his calender and will be playing. Herby has played every Show we have scheduled. Great to have a HOF player with us. A lot more to come.

Marked my calendar as well. Hoping it works out for me to be there. Some things may be changing with my job dont know yet. I do have my regular sat night gig that sat. Is there still going to be a jam session fri night?

Herby Wallace · Post by **Herby Wallace** » 7 Jun 2011 4:46 pm

I just talked with my friend, Bill Cook, and I have worked it out so I can be there again this year. I always enjoy coming back to this great show every year as Bill always hosts an excellent show, so I hope to see many of you there again.

Herby has played every Show we put together!! Having a HOF player on the Schedule always gives the Show instant credibility. Thanks for accepting Herby!! Jeremy I will schedule you early so you can get back up North for your Gig. If the good Lord is willing and the Creeks don't rise, we will have a Jam Friday night.

Mr. Bill always has a dandy of a show. I'm hoping to be able to get over for this one!

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 8 Jun 2011 11:24 am

Roger, Do you want a Slot??

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 8 Jun 2011 11:31 am

I have arranged for a special rate on rooms. Rooms are $69.00 Double or King. Suite is $89.00. Call Clarion Hotel, 334-264-2231, ask for Alabama Steel Guitar Rate. The show will be in the Clarion Hotel. It is the same Hotel that we used the last 2 or 3 years, just the name has changed. I will make the arrangements for the Band and invited players from out of the area. Just let me know if you want King or Double.

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 8 Jun 2011 11:51 am

Bill, I do have a Saturday evening gig, but if I could get on before noon, I'd love to have a slot.

Hey Bill! Do you have a quota for the number of Georgia players?

I am planning on being there.

Bill does Pee Wee and I start this one or will it be different????
Know this one will be as good as all the others. It will be a treat to see Herby, and Roger Jer, Don and all the other regulars be there. How about the great Bobbe Seymour will you be there again this year???
This location downtown Montgomery ie the best location ever, just 4 blocks from where we lived, and Hanks mother lived 3 blocks from us.
Bill you know Carol and any of us will work any way you want us to.
This already looks to be a barn burner of a great show.

Roger & Bill. I will try to work the Georgia boys in!! Ernie!! It would not be an Alabama Show without You & Pee Wee kicking it off!! This may be the best one yet!!

Mike Taylor · Post by **Mike Taylor** » 9 Jun 2011 6:25 pm

Bill..

Took that Friday off so we can be there for the Jam.. Always look forward to Mike and Joanie. Got to hear them at Dallas and they were in fine form!!!

Mike

Jeremy Drawbaugh · Post by **Jeremy Drawbaugh** » 10 Jun 2011 7:37 pm

I got the word today that i got that friday off so i plan on being there in time for the Jam.

Sadly i havent played very many instrumentals lately been just backing up a singer on weekends and no getting much time to practice during the week because of work hope i wont be to rusty. cant wait to see all the guys.

Terry Wood · Post by **Terry Wood** » 11 Jun 2011 4:12 pm

I talked with Mr. Bill on Thursday and I will be there playing at the jam and show.

We were there and played the first show. My boy was in a baby carry thing then, and I did most of the carrying.

He turned 6 months old the day of that show. He and my family will be with me at the show. He's a big music lover, learning steel guitar and fiddle.

Thanks for inviting us! See you next month.

GOD bless!

Terry Wood and his Cherokees!
