Folks, if you haven't been to one of these shows before, make plans now to attend. The two headliners this year, Buck Reid and Cindy Cashdollar, will knock your socks off. Both are amazing players. The band is top notch and there is always interesting steel related merchandise for sale at tables around the edge of the room. This is the best yearly show in the northeast.

Bump it up ^ ^ ^ Don't miss this show if you are in the northeast area.

Hello Bob M.! Great to see you post and "Hello". Congratulations on another show.
I played "Whiter Shade of Pale" at an Armonk show, in the 80's.
I played he chords on the E9th and played the melody on the C6th with an E-bow.
Especially, with Buddy being there, I was a nervous wreck.
I remember be blown away by Jimmy Roule and guitarist, Van Manakas.

Hey Chris

Jim Pitman will be traveling down to the PSGA show with an empty car. Want to carpool to the show?

Chris Templeton · Post by **Chris Templeton** » 22 Oct 2016 1:48 pm

I'm calling Jim now. Thanks

Chris Templeton · Post by **Chris Templeton** » 22 Oct 2016 3:25 pm

I spoke with John B. about going to the show.
Most likely John, Jim & I will go "down country" together.
I'm probably going to bring my Tapper steel down for a little show and tell.
(note the raised fretboard and second compensated bridge for fretting in tune)

Looking forward to it!

That Tapper steel looks cool, if not complicated. Just spoke with Buck and we are all excited to see it. Looking forward to a fun trip down and back as well Chris.

Steel guitar junkies: There are still openings to sign up for Buck's pedal steel instructional class being held Saturday Nov. 5, a day ahead of the PSGA show. A jam is planned. Come join us to watch, listen and play.

Due to NYC Marathon on 6th, I won't be able to make this year's show-

First time in 20 years I'm missing this show...

In any event, I miss you all- and have a great time!!

Bob, I guess I'll mail you a check for membership renewal this year.

Bummer Hiro, let us know how well you do in the marathon. Hope to see you next year!

This weekend!!!! This weekend!!!!
If you love steel guitar, please, please don't miss the PSGA's Gala 43rd Show!
It's the best event in the northeast and it only comes once a year, folks.
Show up and listen to some great steel playing and support this GREAT CLUB!
And, don't forget the Piedmont Club on Saturday. Buck Reid is giving a seminar in the afternoon and that night, we'll be treated to some fine music by Buck, Jeff DeMaio and Gunsmoke and other special guests.

I just happen to be driving home from Philly to NH today. Looks like I'll be taking a four-hour rest-stop in Norwalk!

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 6 Nov 2016 6:11 am

Get your butt up here Dan!

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 6 Nov 2016 1:48 pm

Great show! Cindy Cashdollar on now, tearing it up on nonpedal. Buck Reid coming up next. Great crowd. Some superb, young players in the lineup this year too. Thanks, PSGA!

Great to see the stars as well as some new talent coming in. The future of the instrument depends on it.

Steve Alcott · Post by **Steve Alcott** » 7 Nov 2016 8:57 am

It was a workout as usual, but a lot of fun, as usual. Everybody has a different way of writing charts for their set, and that definitely makes it interesting.

Hiro Keitora · Post by **Hiro Keitora** » 7 Nov 2016 6:50 pm

You guys always do different kinda Marathon, Steve!

I'm glad everyone had a great time at the show, and I really missed it this year.

I don't know what day will be the veteran's day weekend next year, but I will make it- again

John De Maille · Post by **John De Maille** » 7 Nov 2016 7:29 pm

Steve, lets face it buddy, you're a great musician. I enjoy listening to the whole backup band. There aren't much better than you guys. You all played superbly.

Rob Segal · Post by **Rob Segal** » 7 Nov 2016 7:30 pm

Thanks Stu, and thanks very much to the PSGA for producing a really interesting, varied, and exciting show. It was great to see/hear everybody, and Hiro you were missed!

Rob Segal

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 7 Nov 2016 7:31 pm

I'll second that emotion, John. It's always a great pleasure and privilege to play with the PSGA band. Steve, Van, Larry and Fooch did an awesome job all day. Thanks, guys!

And Stu, I was looking for you afterwards. Sorry you felt you needed to leave early but I hope you had a safe trip back home. It was great to see you again, my friend, and thanks for your nice comment on my set. (And for the generous gift of the phaser pedal. Hope it sounded okay out there!)
