Is there an updated line-up of who all is playing, and which days/times their sets are?

Bill Stafford · Post by **Bill Stafford** » 12 Oct 2010 6:49 am

Good to see ole Ben up and "attem" again. Keep up the good work Ben. Wish you could be there at this show to keep me on the straight and narrow.
My new EXCEL is about three times "hotter and brighter" than my older one. The new pickup is absolutely "gorgeous"-and that adjective describes the way it sounds as it still looks like a pickup. lol
The new integrated stainless steel changer mechanism is the epitome in engineering in our steel guitar world.
See you all there..Anxious to play a tune behind Ole Doc too.
Thanks for this invite to this steel show.

Well,, Thank you Billy. I gotta tell you, "IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK UP AND GOIN". I ain't got all them wires (from my noggin to my fangers)straightened out yet, but I'm'a working on it.

Sure nice to talk to Jim also. Found out the boy had been rougin around in my neighborhood, SEVERAL, several years ago, trying to do some "GOAT ROPIN". You'll just have to axe him bout that, "GOAT ROPIN"..

Think I heard something bout a hog killin to!!

Thanks for all the concern, from all the folks here on the forum, and else whure. I'm on the mend, just gonna take time.

Jim,,, Ole Lem, (up there) been axing for updated line up. Lem, if he don't respond in the next couple of days, stick him a box of chittlins in the mail.

Wendell, I hope you have a safe trip over here to Fulton. I hate that I won't get to see you, as I always enjoy visiting and listening to you sing. You're one of the best vocalists I've ever had the pleasure of playing for.

Wendell Gurley · Post by **Wendell Gurley** » 28 Oct 2010 7:32 am

Thank you Lem, it's always been my pleasure to get to work with you at Fulton. I sure was hoping you would be there as you always treated me so nice and are such a talented player. I will be in touch with you soon, best wishes to you.

Thanks Wendell, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you again.

Bob, I hate that I didn't get to hear you perform. I love your playing, and would love to hear you picking at one of the shows. Hopefully I can make it to one of the other shows you'll be playing at in the future. Keep in touch ol' friend.
