We do 2 shows each year PLUS Jerry Braswell also puts on a Shrine Children's Hospital Benefit show in February.

I try to get notices out about 4-6 weeks ahead of time PLUS a follow up a couple of weeks before the shows.

Thanks
Bill Ferguson

Two more weeks, and the fun starts!

It's gettin' closer, y'all!

Counting the days can't wait to hear Joe Wright and his alter ego. great player and super entertainer.

Pretty impressive list of playres, Bill! Looking forward to another great day with some great talent and wonderful friends.

Bump.

Shaping up to be a great day. I can't wait to get another close up view of those beautiful ShowPro guitars!

We are hoping to have "The Jewelry Lady" at the show this time.
As many of you know she has been kinda under the weather or so. She is doing much better, but is not at 100% yet.
She will have some new samples for the ladies and maybe some men.
We Thank you all, See you Sunday

Larry & Yvonne

Larry,

Glad to hear that Yvonne is doing better. I had originally told Bill C. that I wasn't going to be able to make it, but it looks like I will. Hope to see ya there.

Jim

Looks like I might just be able to make this one.

Ok, here's the info that has been requested.

Larry, thanks for the warning. If Yvonne is bringing goods, I'll try to find a reason for Audra to not attend. SERIOUSLY, that's great news that she is feeling up to making it out.

See you all there!

I live about 20 minutes from the FOX. I'll be there with bells on. Can I pay at the door or will I need an advance ticket?

This is a good time to ask... is there a good teacher anywhere near me? I'm gonna be needing some help getting started.

RC...come on down, you can pay at the door. This will be a great opportunity to meet a lot of the local guys, and you'll find no shortage of people willing to help you get started. Looking forward to meeting you there.

Bump it to the top, pls. Gonna be a good one!

Gentlemen I'm sorry to say that my back is giving me fits, Went today and the surgeon says to stay off my feet after the shots that he is giving me and gotta go back for a block on monday, So that means that I gotta stay home and rest, hopefully I can bring some guitars next trip hope you have a great show its looking to be a goodun thanks
