Well, folks, it's getting closer! I hope all of those I've been in contact with have marked their calendars and are planning to be with us. It looks like we're going to have a good crowd and a GREAT time! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you there.

I'll guarantee you that you hear a lot of good steel picking at Gabes just like the big steel guitar jam on Saturday at post 88.

Come on down and hear some more country music!! I'd really be surprised if we don't have twin fiddles at least and twin steels and probably even more :-)

Hey Sween.....I remember a time ,(way back when), if we were partaking of back to back events, as is the case Oct. 1,2, that the first would just evolve into the second....I remember not wanting to stop playing long enough to move from one pickin' place to the other (from one floor to another at the Andrew Jackson Hotel); I know these old eyes just won't stay open that many hours (days) anymore, and I've heard it said that we weren't having as much fun then as we thought we were, but I know better. It makes me sad to look around town and not see that going on these days....maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I'd love to somewhere see that kind of time, energy, exuberence, and love spent on the instrument that most of us have dedicated our lives to. I don't see enough guys in their twenties going out and wrecking their health the way we did...just kidding, but if that's the case I wonder where the steel will have evolved to thirty years from now without that kind of attention.
I can't believe that thru all that roaring in the seventies and eighties I can't remember ever playing a note in Gabes...I went there a couple of times to hear Murph play, and that's it. BUT, come Oct. 2, I intend to make up for lost time and be there when the doors open.
