Terry...Do you have any kind of deal with the hotel next door again this year? Angie and I were at last year's show and plan on attending again this year. May even have a few friends coming with us!! What a show!

BTW...See you June 25 at the CISGA show in E Peoria, Il!!!

I am really excited about the Branson jam that is comming up. We've got the best line up we ever had,and boy that band really cooks. If you miss this one ,shame on you because we're gonna give it all we got to make it the best ever.

Rich,
I will post all of the information on the motel arrangements this week.

Buck,
Just wanted to say,"What a great preformance you did in Gulfport". But if I know you, it will be even better at the Branson Jam next month. See you and my favorite lady, Miss Mitzi, in July,
Terry Bethel

Terry, sorry I did not call today. I was wondering if you could come up and bring the guitar. The reason is because I have all my parts and equipment to work with here. That would save me bringing a car full of little parts to Branson. It would probably save us both a lot of time experimenting. Let me know? Got to go to the Dentist in the morning, but I will be free after 12:00.

Terry...Thanks and will be looking for it. Have to get our reservations in...See you in E Peoria on the 25th and then get to turn around and go to Branson. Life is good.

Miss Lana,
I'm glad that you're a fan of the steel guitar. Since you are excited with your new found love, (the steel guitar), you need to learn how to play one. It's great therapy and rewarding when you learn a new lick. Just think of it! You're surrounded by steel players who could teach you what you need to know on the steel. Maybe Scotty will give you a good deal on a steel. Of course, you couldn't go wrong with a Bethel steel or a Zum or an Emmons or a Mullins or whatever! I personally really like the Emmons! It sounds like a steel ought to sound! Let me know what you think about learning how to play steel. If you've got the desire and the time, you're well on your way!

This just came in to me.

Terry, Once again I have to cancel out on your show...It saddens me greatly to do this, I can't get anyone to work at the club for me so my boss won't let me off.
I am so sorry to do this for the 2nd time but it is out of my control. I hope you understand.
Thanks,
Junior.

Junior, I do understand, and I invite you now for next years OzarkSGA Jam. I hope to see you down the road somewhere.

Mr. Hanley

You are not the only one who is after me to take lessons. And I may say that I am seriously considering it. My hardest decision IS which guitar to use! I can't approach that decision the way I do the football pool (which team has nicer uniforms). And yes, I constantly surround myself with great influences, teachers, and innovators - I couldn't go wrong.

Until then, I'll continue to support the shows, players, and music (and make a mental note of all those cool licks)!

Thanks for the encouragement. I do appreciate it.

Miss Lana

We've added Bobby Hempker to the lineup. Please check the first post.

Whoa this is just getting better all the time. But I still don't see Terry Bethel on the players list. I suppose I'll have to doctor the schedule when I get down there. Let's see, at what time would you all like to hear Terry? Beginning, middle, or end? Let me know so I can make the 'alterations'!!!!

Sorry Junior had to cancel. I'll have to talk to him about a little thing called vacation! Just teasing. Glad he cancelled for work.

Miss Lana

Jeremiah Hanley · Post by **Jeremiah Hanley** » 9 Jun 2006 8:27 pm

So Junior's not coming, huh? That would be a perfect slot for you to play, Terry! Please don't save the best til last, but play at the first. I believe everybody will say 'amen' to that! Right, Miss Lana?

We Win! We Win! We Win! We Win! We Win!

Please let me make the formal announcement...

NEW ADDITION TO THE LINE UP -

TERRY BETHEL - Number 1 chauffer in the world oh and he plays the steel guitar pretty darn good in his spare time.

Yes I agree, I think it would be great for Terry to kick off this year's show. I'll make sure it gets on the schedule (hee, hee, hee).

Terry, I'm anxious to play your show again this year. Mabye I can talk my long time friend Ralph Higgins to sing a tune or two with me. He did sing with me a couple of years ago and he got a great reception from the audience. We played in the same band many years ago and we both remember the style that was popular back then. See you there. Scotty

Terry,

Glad to see you added Bob Hempker to the lineup. He's outstanding both as a player and a person - one of the unsung heros of the instrument, and he deserves to be heard.
I wanted to come to the show before, but now I'm going to beg!

Hope to see you in July!

L.A.

Keith Hilton · Post by **Keith Hilton** » 14 Jun 2006 7:46 am

I am looking forward to seeing all my friends at the Show. Have you talked with Dennis Digby Terry?

Lana Rosselli · Post by **Lana Rosselli** » 14 Jun 2006 8:09 am

Scotty

Dad is looking forward to singing with you in Branson again. I have made his reservations and he will be there with bells on!

Miss Lana

Lana Rosselli · Post by **Lana Rosselli** » 16 Jun 2006 3:33 am

Ya'll still have time to get your reservations for the Branson show. All these great players under one roof...don't want to miss this. Terry has always pulled together a great show and this year is no exception. Just look at the line up. Scotty, Joe, Randy, Russ, Mike and of course by popular demand (without the twisting of arms) Terry Bethel will play. See you in Branson!

Miss Lana

L. A. Wunder · Post by **L. A. Wunder** » 19 Jun 2006 9:47 pm

Do you have to make reservations for the show itself, or just the motel next door? Will still photography, video cameras, and/or audio taping be allowed? I just need to know in advance.
Thanks,

L.A.

Lana Rosselli · Post by **Lana Rosselli** » 20 Jun 2006 6:55 am

I can answer the first part - reservations for the motel next door but not for the show. Cameras will probably be okay but I can't say about video/recorders.

Miss Lana

Terry Bethel · Post by **Terry Bethel** » 20 Jun 2006 11:21 am

L A,

It is up to each player as to whether they will allow it. As far as myself, Do what you want.
I will check with the players and try and find out for you. It may take a few days, so keep checking the post.
Terry Bethel

L. A. Wunder · Post by **L. A. Wunder** » 23 Jun 2006 8:44 pm

Thanks Terry, (& Miss Lana)
I'll keep an eye out for future posts.

Terry Bethel · Post by **Terry Bethel** » 23 Jun 2006 9:19 pm

Hey everybody we have added another player.
Please check the post at the top. Roy and I became friends when he came to a show at the Mel Tillis Theater. You talk about a history of playing steel guitar, this man has one.
So if you haven't made your reservations at the Baldknobbers motel, you better do it before it is sold out.
