North Texas Southern Oklahoma area Steel Guitar Gathering

[Mark Greenway]

We have another gathering scheduled for November the 20th at 2:00. The address is 400 Robinson Road, Ponder,Tx.

This time we are having the gathering at the Denton County Cowboy Church in Ponder, Texas. Monty Montgomery will be our host for this gathering. Monty plays steel for the Denton County Cowboy Church. This facility will hold 300 people and has a stage that will hold a full band and about 8 steel guitars. Acoustics will be much better than what we had in Gainesville.

Bring your guitar and anything that you want to sell.
We are hoping that enough musicians show up to put together a full band to play with. Tell everyone you know.

Hope to see you there.

[Paul King]

I will be there. This is a nice facility and easy to find. I look forward to jamming and hopefully meeting some more steel players. The host, Monty Montgomery, is a super guy to be around. The church has a pretty good band to play music with as well.

[Mark Greenway]

Paul, I believe we are going to have enough musicians to have a full band. It will be nice having good acoustics and a stage. Larry Lange with the Lonestar Troubadors, a Western Swing band, will be there with some of the guys from his band to help us out. I believe some of the musicians from the Cowboy Church will be there also to help out. I am hoping Mickey Adams can make it this time. I also hope David Wright will come back. It is always great to hear him play. For those reading this, if you have never heard or witnessed David Wright play, you need to, You will see why he has won Texas Steel Guitar Player of the Year. Tony Tims has been nice enough to put us on Facebook, to help get the word out. Thanks for your support Paul. You played really well at the last one. I am looking forward to hearing you play with a full band.

[Gary Thayer]

I will be there. Should be fun.

[Paul King]

Thanks Mark for the kind words. It will be nice to see Gary again and hope to meet some new guys that pick. I look forward to hearing David again as well.

[Monty Montgomery]

Well, of course I'll be there. Sorry I missed the meeting in Gainesville. This one I will make if I have to walk over!! Good PA system and plenty of mics so we should be able to mic each amp for some good sound.
Don't miss this one!!
Monty

[Paul King]

So happy you will be there Monty. Check all those tires ahead of time so you can be there. Just kidding about that. I know you will enjoy this meeting.

[Mickey Adams]

[Paul King]

Great news Mickey. And Happy Birthday a few days ahead.

[Monty Montgomery]

Mickey, glad you will be there. David Wright, if you're reading this, come on up!! And Tilley, how about you driving over from Princeton and picking a couple??
Should be a good gathering!!

Monty

[Mark Greenway]

Glad to see that Mickey will be at this one. Mickey I have heard you play the guitar very well too, so feel free to play some electric guitar if you want. Bring your lesson material or anything that you have to sell.
Gary Thayer and his Carter will be at this one too. I appreciate Gary helping with the expenses at the last gathering.

I would like to see Louie Halford and Jackie Harmon at this one.

Hey Jim Smith, come and show off that awesome Hammond organ sound that you get with your D12 Black Emmons push pull and effects rig.

Don't forget, if you have something to sell, bring it. I will set up a section for trading, selling, borrowing or swapping.

[Clinton Damron]

I may have to skip a weekend of deer hunting

[Earl Briggs]

Hey MIKE.IS THIS MEETING GOING TO BE EVERY MONTH......Earl

[Paul King]

Mark Greenway was hoping for every month. It may be every other month which is fine with me. I would love to jam every moth if it works out like that.

[Mark Greenway]

Clinton, you can still go hunting that morning. Deer hunting and a steel guitar get together all in one day. That's what heaven will be like.

I hope you can make it.

[Mark Greenway]

Earl, if there is enough interest in these meetings, I would like to do one every month. I think we have a host for the next one after this one at Ponder. One of the players in Arlington has a music school, and he is willing to let us have the next one at his place. He even has a BBQ grill out back, so maybe we can cook out at that one.
I am hoping that players will volunteer to host meetings at their place. If you have a place where we can have a gathering, let me know and I will put it together.

Thanks a lot

[Charles Tilley]

If all goes well, I plan to be there. One never knows what will happen.

[Ernie Dunlap]

Hey Mark, give me a call. 1-580-272-0439

thanks,

[Mark Greenway]

Hello Charles, I sure hope to see you at the gathering. I don't think we have ever met. I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the support.

[Mark Greenway]

Hey Ernie, I sent you an email, and I will give you a call. Alan Rudd said that you might be coming to the gathering. I hope so.

[Clinton Damron]

Clinton, you can still go hunting that morning. Deer hunting and a steel guitar get together all in one day. That's what heaven will be like.

I hope you can make it.

Not really My lease is in the panhandle, 200 miles from Ponder. Once deer season is over y'all will get tired of seeing me

[Mark Greenway]

I understand. We will see you when deer season is over. Thanks a lot

[Paul King]

Clinton, I have the solution. Mickey Adams is a pilot and maybe he could fly you down for the hunt and they back for the jam. Ah, just kidding. Six days and counting till the second meeting.

[jackie harmon]

You better keep your eyes on that Adams boy.

[Wayne Morton]

Would love to be there again, but I have to be in Tulsa for the OSGA meeting this Sunday. Hope you guys have as much fun as we will. The next one you have that's not on the 3rd Sunday, I'll try to be there.
