Larry, getting to spend time with you and Jean is one of the highlights of the trip, my friend. It's like a family reunion, without the crazy cousin.

Don -

you and your crew are an unheralded group for making the convention experience exactly what it is.

The Sound in The Main Hall.

The Sound is typically loud enough for all vocals and instruments to be heard with exceptional clarity and tone, yet also allow folks carry on small conversations without having to yell.

My toast to You for jobs well done + looking to hearing you doin' your thing at this years Convention.

Roger Miller · Post by **Roger Miller** » 25 Jul 2012 6:24 pm

The best in the business. I can't get over how great you guys keep things in hand and wish you many years. Keep up the great work Don, you and the guys are top notch.

Pretty cool ya get to play Sid!!!
Awesome picker right there guys!

Don't be nervous, just a room full of steel players watching you, no big deal right?

Would love to play that stage one day but i would probably be more nervous than when i play the Ryman!

Knock'em out Sid, proud of ya man!.....k-man
Don't think my schedule will let me be there but maybe!
I've only been one time and that was 2009!
Would be awesome to see JayDee Maness!
