This will be my 4th year attending. I absolutely love the show as well as getting to hang with old and new friends. And it looks like I may even get to play some chromatic harmonica on stage (again) with a couple of my steel guitar heroes.

Really looking forward to it!

For the first time since I guess 2006 or 2007 I am not going to make this one. I am staying home to take care of Audra who is recovering from some foot surgery. Troy promised to save my spot for 2021 though. I am already looking forward to that one since this event is one of the highlights of my year.

It would be an honor Stu! Looking forward to seeing you again, I think the last time I saw you play was in Austin back in the 70's (missed your set 4 years ago)! Just replied to your PM....
