This should be a good Jam and time. Ricky Cottle has some good talent lined up for this Jam. All are welcome.

Hey Gang! Looking forward to a great jam on the 13th. Planning to have five or six pickers at a time to play twenty to thirty minutes depending on how many show up. We will have some of the local folks and others playing backup. We also have multi-talented steel pickers that have agreed to help with backup. Bring your steels and amps or whatever and let's have some fun. We are also talking about getting folks who may be interested in forming the backup band for the ASGA. Looking forward to seeing all of you on Saturday the 13th.

I think that blue steel guitars sound a lot better than puke green steel guitars........

Bill Simmons · Post by **Bill Simmons** » 14 May 2006 1:59 pm

Tom...I agree with you about that pucky green steel that "the Kid" was pickin yesterday at the show. I think he must of got that wild green steel from his sister or his great aunt!! Still love the Kid even tho he picks funny looking steels! HA

Tyler Hall · Post by **Tyler Hall** » 14 May 2006 2:24 pm

Tom and Bill may be Zumbody's, but they don't know anything about STYLE...

"Puke Green" is the new black, and even sounds better. When I play this steel, I make a statement before I ever hit a note.

"KID". You sounded much better picking that Great "FUZZY" Guitar. Tone to the Bone. You let it slip away from you. You now will go the rest of your life thinking about that "FUZZY GUITAR" and the lost opportunity. Oh well, You still have the pukey Lucky Carter.

Bill Simmons · Post by **Bill Simmons** » 15 May 2006 8:26 am

Tyler...I have to admit, even with that rather 'unigue color' steel, you just amaze me with your 'unique' playing. I do believe you sounded the best playing Bill "Fuzzy" Cook's "unique" 1901 Fuzzy Steel Guitar...come to think about the jam, the whole thing was 'unigue'. HA HA

Your new CD could be called, "From a Fessy to A Fuzzy!" by Frenzy the Kid! HA

Tyler Hall · Post by **Tyler Hall** » 18 May 2006 4:33 pm

Bill, I've always been "unique"!!!

Anyhow, I had a great time at the jam, and I think everyone else did too. It was good to see everyone again. Hope we get to do it again before too long.

The Jam had some good pickers. A big rain come up all over the South, so the crowd wasn't as good as we expected. Every one seemed to have a good time. Bill

The "GANG" had is huge Banner with a sign attached that said "Welcome Steel Players", then it listed Dennis Pardoe,Don Lynch, Smiley Roberts and Mike Cass. The guys seemed to like their welcome. Doing good things to welcome fellow Steel Players into the State.

SMILES,
It was good to see you, Dennis Pardoe and Mike Cass wave the flag for all steel players. Don Lynch backed up several Artist at the show also. You sounded super good at the show. The sound man had you coming in loud and clear. I heard many compliments on your playing. Next time come and stay awhile.
