Billy, Is anyone representing BJS Bar going to be there?? Havn't seen you since the old days at "Rips".. Art (skip)

Glad so see so many people are going to be there.

We will have another announcment by that time. We had a jam this past weekend and are planning another one in Febuary. Keep checking the news letter and the details will be announced at the show.

The association is going to try having more get togethers so we can get more people involved.

See everyone in January.

I personally can't wait to see all the great steel players, I went to the one in Mesa last year, and I really had a great experience. It seems that almost every steel player is a nice person...

not sure how that happened, but it's a great community to be a part of.

Sadly Bill Stroud and BJS bars will be unable to attend. So I guess that it will be mail to get one. Should be a great show and alot of fun. Art

Sadly I'm not going to be able to make the show. I already had my reservations made and Judy ask for vacation time but it ain't gonna happen.

Our band may have a new guitar player or no guitar player then. We are scheduled to play in Ft Worth and it's Rodeo time. Me and the fiddle player may have to take all the lead.

I'm really disappointed. This is one of the best steel shows. I have to hand it to the SWSGA. They made it great in just a few years.

Maybe next year.
Hope to see y'all in Dallas.

I thought I would share some photos from some previous SWSGA shows. It is always a good time with an outstanding lineup of players and staff.

Hello Everyone, only a few more days until this Great Show in Arizona. Linda and I can't wait to see all you wonderful folks down there.

We had to miss last year on account of Linda had her hip replaced, but thank the Good Lord, she is doing great now.

Please stop by our booth down there and say Hi.

If you have never been to this show it is a Must if you like Great Steel Guitar Music, and NO SNOW!!! in January.

Have a safe trip, and we shall see you all real soon.

Billy, any idea when you'll have an initial schedule for the players on the show, and also any info on the Russ Hicks seminar? Thanks, buddy!

Posted: **2 Jan 2008 6:55 am**

Joe, Thanks for the update on the weather. We talked to Fred 2 times yesterday, and still forgot to ask how the weather was. Sure hope it holds good for us to make the trip. Last year we had snow most of the way, but not bad on the road, although some of the Texas folks had it pretty rough. It is cold here in Arkansas, but no bad stuff down our way. Austin has had some of the ice and snow up in Kansas, but clear for now. We will be leaving on the 21st or 22nd and roll in there on the 23rd. Can't wait. See everyone soon.
