The Steel Guitar Forum

Andy,
I'd like to be there, too. I don't have anything to sell, but, pickin' is always fun. And, I don't think the price is out of hand to rent or borrow a hall for an afternoon. Make sure you keep bumping this post up, so, the guys in Conn, Mass and Rhode Island can see it. There's a great bunch of pickers up there.

If you all show up you can have fun laughing at a self-taught old guy who tunes ET and plays without picks!

Hi steel players,
things are looking good for this show . The address for the American Legion where the show will be held is 275 Grooms Rd Clifton Park Ny 12065. Well there you have it. Please if I can help you in anyway with anything at all concerning the show Tell me! Thanks Andy

Hey Andy,

I am planning on attending. I really like that your event will be vendor friendly, and will also be a gear swap and sell event. A great idea! I like the informal "come and play" approach. I will be providing test rides of the fabulous Telonics FP-100 multi taper volume pedal. I will be happy to answer questions, and will have a supply of these great units ready to take away.

See ya there.

JW

Thanks John,
I can't say enough good about this guy.
John is great player and a great tech if you need anything done. Can't wait to see you my friend!

We are going to play some music, right? I have nothing to sell and nothing I need to buy -- I am just looking forward to hearing some pedal steel and playing some pedal steel.

Will there be any kind of backup band? How do you plan to manage the jam? Fifteen steelers in a circle taking turns, or what?

Thanks for making this happen, Andy. Fun fun fun!

Hi Barry,
We will get in as much playing as possible. I want everyone that wants to play to get a turn. I will have 3 amps on stage to play through webb614e , evans fet 500 and a session 400 on stand by ready to go. My band will be there to play along. If you want to play to a backing track bring the cd you wish to play along with. I think I will post a listing of the songs we know. Its gonna be fun. I have some cool things setup for that day.I'm planning on giving some awards out at the end of the day. I'm trying to make this a great show for the people who come.

I just saw this thread. I have a gig that evening in Syracuse, but I'm going to try to make it. I'm looking for a good single neck steel to gig with and this sounds like the best opportunity to see what's out there in upstate NY. Thanks for putting this together.

Hey Patrick,
Its guys like you ,and positive comments that make me want to do this. I have been pushing for people to bring stuff to sell. I can't tell you what will be there, but you may get a good lead on somthing. Thanks Patrick I hope to see you there.
Thanks Andy

Hi Andy, Thanks for hosting a Steel Guitar Show. Upstste NY needs something like this. If you need any help, just ask....Lloyd Potter

Hey Lloyd,
Yes I need your help. I need you to be there if you can. The whole reason I'm doing this show is for guys like yourself. Thanks Lloyd hope we get to meet on the 2nd. Lets all get together and have a Great Day!!

Lots of interest . Lots of e-mails .
Were lookin good
Thank you.

Hey Andy:

I think this steel get-together you're planning is a great idea. There are many more steel guitarists and steel guitar fans around eastern NY than one might think. This event gives them a chance to meet and swap ideas and stories... very cool.

I would also like to attend if I'm able. I cannot make a solid commitment at this time as I will be out of town on Fri., 4/1 and at least part of the day on Sat., 4/2. But if at all possible, I'll be there.

I wish you the best of luck and success with the show and I've passed the word on about it to several folks (some players) who have expressed an interest in coming. Thanks man !!

Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" O.

Andy,If Tiny shows up it will be a real treat,he's one of the greats and as good as it gets!!!

Hi Stu,
I heard Tiny is a really great steel player. If he can make it that would be great. I'm ordering some cool pedal steel shirts that will be for sale that day. You need something to take back home with you even though an amp or steel wouldn't hurt. April 2nd save the date! Thank You Andy

Hi,
April 2nd noon to 6. See you there.

Hey Andy,
I'll be there and I will have a very nice LDG for sale plus a Nashville 1000 and 112 for sale also. Please let me know what time the doors will actually open.
Really looking forward to it !

Hey Andy ....
Looks like I'll be there also . Will be bringing some amps , pedals & bar pouches to sell . Thanks again for all your efforts .
