This sounds like a great lineup again as usual and I am already anxious to be back. 2011 will be my 34th year in a row without missing and believe me, as Buddy Emmons stated: "This is the Super Bowl of steel guitar show", so I hope to see many of you there again.

In my list of events I posted last Sunday I said that things were subject ot change. But I didn't anticipate a change this quickly. The times of the Jazz Concert was listed incorrectly. I used the same times as 2010. Here is the correction.

Jazz Concert on Saturday in the Jefferson room.
10:00am - 1:50 pm

Thanks to Jim Stahlhut for informing me about the change in time. Scotty
