Please note that any players that need to get in to bring equipment in to the electric Park between 8 and 10 AM before the show on Saturday, will need to go around to the east load in doors for access. The doors do not open until 10 AM this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone this year and especially Mike and Teresa Sweeney!!

I just want to say what I good time I had at the show.
A lot of great picking and you can't beat the friendship, everybody treats you just like family (in a good way that is).
They have a Jump Start Academy where they afford assistance to aspiring steelers. One of the graduates of the program this year played a couple of songs on the stage and before she played, she came up to my vendor's table and told me that the songs she was playing were the tabs that she got from me.
It really made me feel good that I was a part of the learning process that she is going through and that I could contribute to her being able to play our beloved instrument.
Bless her heart!

2 Days after the show and finally clearing out the head while I sit here listening to Mike Sweeney's CD "Pure and Simple Country" absolutely loving it and becoming enthused to get back to the steel and try to obtain a level half as good as this guy! What a great show we had this past weekend with all of the players, helpers, and staff. As soon as I am able, I will upload some photos of the events. Thanks again to Mike and Teresa for being at our show and making it one of the best. Also, thanks to Erv for his contributions to the JSA and the helpful tabs he creates. Many players have had assistance from his tabs and the JSA definitely benefitted this year as well.
