I would hope That Everybody who has ever played at Saluda Would Show up this year and Make this one big Blow out as a Tribute to Buddy Walker and Charles Reece Two great Brothers who started this all in 1987. Saluda is one of the Senior Shows in the country. I know I will be able to make a little of this one on Saturday night before I go on to Charleston to my Daughters Home.

[Kenny Martin]

Well looks like the schedule works so i can be there sunday!

Everybody needs to make an extra effort to get a good crowd for the 100th show!
It takes alot to put this together so thx Jerry, Joe and David! I'm looking forward to it!

Oh yea, now that i played the Opry Jerry you will have to buy me a diet coke for playing!

I will attempt a famous C6 tune i've been working on for months. If nothing else it will give you good players a laugh!

[Bill Cunningham]

Congratulations Jerry on 25 years. At 4 shows a year, that must make Saluda the longest running show in the country??

[Roger Crawford]

Wow, 25 years. I'm looking forward to being there to celebrate this great occasion! Please have Mr. Christmas pencil me in the line-up.

[Larry Baker]

Roger, I keep asking you to move some of them shows a little further North, but you just ignore me. Will We see you in Mt. Vernon????? Larry

[Roger Crawford]

Larry, I keep asking you to get a little farther away from home and you keep ignoring me! I would love to do Mt. Vernon, but I haven't seen an invite.

[Larry Baker]

Roger, don't feel too bad, I haven't seen an invite either. They are really missing out not having you on their schedule. You are a great player. Larry

[Roger Crawford]

Larry, I sent you a PM.

[Bob Strickland]

In addition to Buddy Walker and Charles Reece, we should thank Herby Wallace and all of the Georgia pickers who have made numerous trips to Saluda. I hope they can all come and make show #100 special.

[Bob Strum]

My heart is with you guys! Would love to see you all again, but Schweinfurt Germany is a long commute!
Best wishes for another great show that I've always enjoyed.
Bob and Carol Strum
