So Terry, is this a commercial event ? I must apologize, I understood it to be more of a "Steelers" participation event for Lap and Pedal Guitars. I'm sure it will be a good success.

I am trying to put this event on in a new, fresh format for steel players and music fans both to maybe raise the profile of steel guitar. The event will feature demos, vendors, & music entertainment at a low admission cost too. I just think that the current music scene needs new ways to introduce steel guitar to new fans, and maybe new players.

Steel Guitar Summit show in NC...new

Post by George Kimery »

I'm just over the mtn. in TN. I have it on my calendar. The facility looks great. Best of luck with it. You should also list it in events.y
.
A suggestion; I would like to see Evans Amps have a display and maybe a quick demo on what all the tone controls do. I had an FET 500 for 20 years and now have a stereo rack mount, and I'm still confused as to what depth, body, buff, and expand are all about.

I have invited Evans Amp to attend George. I think they will.
And, it is listed in the events section. Thanks. Hope you will come.
