A bump for a great show and great friends. What a wonderful time of the year for a show in Connecticut.

TTT

Just a little reminder that on the Monday following PSGA, Western Caravan will be playing at the Rodeo Bar, 3rd Ave at 27th St in NYC. All attendees and players are invited to come down if they can.

Time for another bump!

Right on C-Rod!

Lookin' forward to the big weekend.

Hi Jim, thanks for the new handle “C-Rod”. I like that! See you at the PSGA with your newly purchased Franklin D10.

Really looking forward to the show this year.

The first one I went to around ten years ago, Robbie Turner was there and it's good to see him back, what a player.

Over all those years, I've been able to see many legends and great local players as well, many whom are now gone.

If you are on the fence about attending, just off and get your tail up to Norwalk, we are also looking forward to Dinner at Chuck's Steak House. We'll miss seeing Herby there, but there's also next year.

Robbie Turner is a monster player and is worth the price of admission.
I was at that show ten years ago and the Saturday night jam was one of the best I've ever heard.
Sorry to miss it again this year.

I was looking forward to attending my 1st show in CT.,but am unable to make it.

Please wish Jim Cohen a Happy Birthday for me on Nov.6th.

Everyone enjoy !

Wow just a few days left until our annual event. The special PSGA rate on guest rooms has expired, so there is a moderate rate increase for this weekend, but rooms are still available. The hotel has provided us with a list of those who have made reservations. There are 90 attendees on our group booking, but there are always additional rooms booked that did not make the list provided to us by the hotel.

Since most of our attendees are day-trippers, we hope for a good turn out. The costs of producing this event keep increasing every year.

It pronises to be another fine steel show.

Let's all contiinue to support steel guitar by attending shows as often as possible.

Let bump to the top the PSGA and all of the wonderful Steel Guitarists that I will be honored to introduce to the audience this weekend.

Just a reminder that on November 7th our PSGA Sunday show starts at 11 am Eastern Standard Time. As the old clock setting rhyme goes concerning Daylight Savings "Spring Ahead/Fall Back"

We'll be leaving in the morning(it's a long drive for us) and we're really looking forward to being in Norwalk again. This is a truly fine show with a first class band. Can't wait to see all our friends in the area and make some new ones. Everyone have a safe trip and we'll see you there!

Unfortunately I won't be able to play at the show this weekend. An old finger injury has flared up again, trigger finger, with severe pain in my index finger of my picking hand, and the doctor has recommended surgery. I know you’all will have a great time at the show. Enjoy!

Oh, no, Doug! I'm really sorry to hear that. I was looking forward to hearing your set. I hope everything will go smoothly for you. Be sure to get a second opinion before undergoing any surgery. Just always a prudent practice.

Best wishes,
Jim

Ditto to what Jim said-second opinion. Get in touch if you would like a number.

Well kids, We're leaving here in a few minutes. Gonna drive till I'm tired, stop, then drive on in to Norwalk by tomorrow afternoon sometime. See y'all there.

Yea!!!!!
Tomorrow's the day we've been waiting a whole year for. Don't miss this two day event with the Super Jam Session on Saturday night. It's going to be a great show. See you there!

If you are near come on down tomorrow. Today is awesome!

Great players on day one. Good time!!! This is the second time I saw Mike Sweeney....WOW, thats all I can say. Now I know where the title of his CD Steelin' the Show came from. Looking forward to another great day of steel.

Just got home this morning, from the 37th PSGA show, and have to say, that, it was a real blast and a superb show, over all. All the steeler's did a great job in a true pro way. The back up band was exquisite on both days and never showed a sign of fatigue. They were truly the tops, in their field.
But, again, I must say a big thank you to all the attendies. You were all very appreciative and supporting to the players and to the PSGA. Thank You All!!! Remember, without you all attending, there'd be no show. So, thanks to all and hopefully we'll see you again next year.
Sincerely,
John De Maille VP-PSGA

Yup, another great PSGA show! Thanks, PSGA, for inviting me along for the ride. It's always a privilege to play with this killer house band and this year was no exception.

All the players I heard were outstanding. In fact, Sweeney was so good, we had to lock him up. If we'd had an extra cell, we woulda locked up Loessberg too and thrown away the key.

The PSGA show is always one of the best in the country. I would like to thank Bob, Jeff and the rest of the PSGA staff for giving me the opportunity to play this year. Ths staff band is as good as they get. Van, Fooch, Steve, David, Bruce and Larry are all true professionals. I'm lucky enough to have Lucy, Van & Fooch work with us in the Tim Gillis band and it is truly a pleasure. Lucy Simms and Les Severs are both dear friends of mine and I would like to thank them for making my set so enjoyable.
Mike Gross did a fantastic job as M.C. as he always does. Thanks to all.

Ben

Ben,

Thanks buddy for your nice comments. We all enjoyed your playing and the wonderful vocalists that you brought down. I love your playing on Lucy's CD.
