Hi Ricky I'm hoping to start around 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM as Ray Walker has to leave early as he has a Gig to play and a practice before so I'm going to do tracks first as Ray will be doing tracks and we will see how many want to play tracks. Ok Ricky see you there.

Sam don't sell your steel!

Post by Larry Ray Miller »

Hi Sam. Don't sell your steel guitar. You will reget it. I sold two Sho-Buds in 1990, and two Nashville 400s. I always wished that I had kept one. You can't get rid of the bug. I bought a MSA Classic twenty years later after retiring, and I am trying to get back into playing. I also have a Session 500 that I stored back then. I know that I will never be a Emmons, but I enjoy playing in my music room. I hope to get better. Hang in there, and enjoy the music. Playing also helps to keep the brain active, and healthy.

This sounds like its gonna turn out pretty good. I am looking forward to participating.

I was wondering what to bring. I've never played at a steel convention before and i know to bring my guitar but what else. Does each player bring their own gear (effects/amps/speaker) Also, what about the backup music. How does that work? Do we need to bring a backtrack. Sorry for the dumb questions but I was curious as to how it is all done.

Your Steel Amp affects and tracks if you have some you want to use.Make sure you bring your own extension cord as everyone has there own.We will be playing with tracks for the first round when everyone has played three songs it will go to the next and down the line.I hope to be starting around 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM

Listen up everyone I will be hoping to get started around 10:00 Am to 10:30 Am as the business will be open for people to come in and buy stuff so we have to let George and Mike run the store. We are greatful to George to let us use his Store for this event.Also Ray Walker will be opening the Steel Jam as he has to leave early for a GIG and hopefully we will still be there when he gets done with his practice and he can come back for a couple of hours and maybe play a bit more with mine or some ones Steel.

If any one has drums and wants to play bring them along or if you know one that would like to play with us bring him or her on.Our Drummer has to work to replace a fellow employee that had to go to N.Y. on a emergency so he has to work in his place as he is the only one that can do that job.Looks like we will be playing tracks and play with a lead Player and a bass player.We will still have some great pickers and great music.Just two days away and I'm getting the butterflies again and the itch.I just melt when I hear a Steel guitar play.

Off we go to the Steel Guitar Jam in Clayton.First of all I want to thank George Williamson for letting us be able to use his Big Gold-N-Pawn shop for our Steel Guitar Jam. George is learning to play Steel Guitar as he is a great Bass and Mandolin player. See you all there Anna and I will be leaving in a half hour.
