What an awesome cruise with 2 day's of the best steel guitar music you could ever ask for. Were so grateful to all the people who put this show together and all of the great Musicians and support people and Jackie for all they did, and also for the new friends we met thanks again,

Great pictures and what a cool stage and backdrop, I'm assuming that it is part of the boat.

What a great time we had.

Dan, we ran into Customs problems with me taking the seat onto the ship and someone else bringing it off the ship.

We found this out a little while ago.
So in lieu of raffling the seat on the cruise, we did it at the last GA show.
Charley Hill now has the seat.

Thank you so much for your support.
(I think I sent you an email about this a while back).

See you in Texas

I had a great time as well. Thanks to everyone involved for making it happen. I especially enjoyed getting to know the folks we were playing for including Ralph & Lois and Tim & Alys - everyone was so kind to us. And it was good to finally meet Jim Cohen, who played great and got a standing ovation!

Someone asked about additional pictures from the cruise. Jeremy Drawbaugh took some really awesome pictures that he has posted on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.drawbau ... zhUAD1deh8

Isn't that Carl Butler on base. If it is that man can one heck of a good lead guitar also.

Donna Dodd · Post by **Donna Dodd** » 12 Feb 2018 9:01 pm

Bill Cunningham on bass!

Bill Cunningham · Post by **Bill Cunningham** » 13 Feb 2018 6:39 pm

Not sure how to take that. Carl's been dead 25 years and I haven't had as much hair as he did when he died since high school.

But seriously, I imagine you are talking about a different Carl than the singer who sang with Pearl, Wesley

Wesley Medlen · Post by **Wesley Medlen** » 13 Feb 2018 7:29 pm

The Carl Butler I know is alive and well in Kansas City. He has a gospel venue in the east bottoms called Knuckle Heads. He is a great person and performer him and his wife are both ministers. Wes
