Richard I know a few names....

1.The man playing the SD-10 Justice "Judge" is 2012 TSGA Player Of The Year George Symank.He played with a band on Friday and Saturday nights that set up in the lobby.The music was so good couples were dancing in front of the elevators and front desk.

George is a really good player and has great sounding rig!!

The highlight for me was the set by Ronnie Miller followed by Reece Anderson on the main stage Saturday...Wow! The crowd reaction said it all.

[Rick Holden]

This was my first show to attend. These are great pics! As a new player at age 56 those tremendous musicians make me question my reasoniing for switching from drums to pedal steel. I feel like a fish out of water now....but I ain't quitting. Thanks for posting the pics and for a great show.

[Danny Letz]

Rick, that show makes all of us want to go home and burn our guitars, but you stick with it. Determination and want to are two of the biggest parts of learning the frustrating little booger.

In the first bunch of pictures, the sixth picture down. That's Wally Moyers from Lubbock, Tx. Notice his back neck. It's a dobro neck that he put on where the pad was. He's using some new Dobro technology that I don't understand. It appeared that he used a different volume pedal for the dobro also. Maybe he'll see this and tell us about it.

[Fred Shannon]

Hate to date myself Danny, but Wally looks just like 'Big Wally' his Dad when I played around the Lubbock and Amarillo areas. Both splendid musicians.

Fred I was buzzing around from booth to booth and I didn't hear him play the dobro neck, but I did hear him play some E9 and he is very very smooth. He has some Nashville experience. We've got to get him to come play for the WTSGA. I worked on him a little, but he and his wife do the music at their church and that holds him up a little on Sundays and I'm not gonna try to deny him that. He wants to come, so maybe one of our Sundays he'll get away for a little while and come to Merkle.
