If you're going to attend the Southern Illinois Show, you can extend the fun by coming to our jam on Sunday... 66 miles west on I-64.

Sorry I missed you Lyle, you had already left when I got there. I was fun.

Bill It has been years since I have seen you.

Bill Dobkins · Post by **Bill Dobkins** » 24 Apr 2018 6:26 pm

I know Lyle, I miss seeing you as well as a lot of other friends, first time I've played in IL in about 5 years.

Bill and Lyle, you guys are always welcome. We've got another event coming up in June if you're interested.

I should point out that we had the great Eddie Lange at our jam.

Eddie is a monster player. Sorry I missed this time. I made 2 days of Mt. Vernon steel show and had too many projects to finish after that. Steve carried most of the show solo last year. I will watch for the June posting. Thanks Steve.

I'll be watching for the June Jam

Thanks
Ron

Thatâ€™s it, Paul. Itâ€™s not specifically a steel jam but there are usually several steel players there.

Paul Wade · Post by **Paul Wade** » 29 Apr 2018 3:08 am

Thanks Steve for the update. Hope there be a
List of players.

P.w

We never know who will show up, Paul... it's fairly informal. I can guarantee John McGuire and myself... usually Wally Davis. Eddie Lange is hoping to be there. Last year, we had Lee Brothers.

This is a three day event. plenty of space for RV's but no hookups. There is lodging in Nashville, IL.

See the flyer for specifics.

Hope to see you, Bill. We have a good time at Laquet's... they even feed us!
