Rick, thanks that's what I was looking for. I'd heard there had been some changes.

Thanks to everyone, too many to name… it was a fun show, and I enjoyed playing my steel sets and several guitar sets for other folks - pretty sure I didn’t embarrass myself (much), but learned a lot from playing with all these masters!

Glad I came!

Wow, these three days sure flew by! Thanks to all the great players, the staff and everyone behind the scenes, the terrific band players, the sound and video folks..... and special thanks to Larry and Steve for two days and four songs worth of challenging and inspiring workshops. Can’t wait for next year’s event.
......and howdy to John, Morgan and Don!

Hey Christopher, just wanted to thank you again for helping me out with my set, you sounded great, and really helped counting off the songs at the tempo I liked . Just flat out fun playing music with you. Also want to thank John Higgins on keys, Dan Range on drums , and a huge thanks to Steve Palousek on bass,he gave up his spare time to go over songs, so we would both sound better, I thought it was very cool of him, and he's one of the best Steel players in the world.Thanks again to all who helped me out, I really appreciate it.

Steve!!!

It was wonderful to play with you, and help out any way I could! My only regret was not getting to do that second set!

The SWSGA not only puts on a great show, the environment is totally friendly and non competitive, so that we can get to know one another in the best way, playing music…

Steve Palousek is an amazing steel player, but for him to be so helpful to both of us and playing jazz bass (saving both our sets!) is above and beyond - I’m lucky, and grateful

We're all hungry for steel shows around here for the last couple years. Any crumbs and tidbits are welcome. How about some pictures from this show?

Glad you all had a successful show.

Hey Jerry

There were cameras and phones in abundance, but the official pics (always very good) generally show up here, and I see they’re not up yet (takes a while to sort through):

The pics, as always, are truly wonderful! Thank you for using the filter that made me look “normal”…
