Billy, I don't think I'll be bringing a steel to this show, but I'm guessing there'll be some jamming in the show rooms or wherever.
Cool!

I've heard it rumored that my set will probably be scheduled for early in the day on Friday. So, if you're not a famous, hot shot pro player, plan to get there early.

b0b sat in with The Roadhouse Kings a few years ago..after he left the guys said, "So thats what the steel is supposed to sound like, could he join us?"

Whenever they scedule b0b's set, try and make it...he's a good-un.

I'm okay with all that old rock and roll. It's that country stuff that's hard.

When will the schedule of events be available?

I am working on the schedule of events. We will be starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday till midnight. Starting again on Friday morning at 9:00 am till midnight, and again on Saturday from 9:00 am to midnight. The best music in the world!!! We will be auctioning a ONE OF A KIND Steel Guitar Quilt that will knock you off your feet! We have a few more surprises along the way. Come on to Mesa and join us....it is going to be a great show!! The hotel has just opened another block of rooms for us...only 25 rooms left at the special convention price. When you call the Holiday Inn,be sure and mention it is for the Southwestern Steel Guitar Association to get the special convention rate of $84.50 plus tax. Regular rate is $139.00, so don't be left out. Call them today. All the contact information is on the website at: www.swsteelguitar.com

Bill, Mary and I have our tickets and are anxious to come to the show. I'm pleased that Herby Wallace is added. He has been one of very favorite player and friend for many, many years. See you there. Scotty & Mary.

Although I'm scheduled to perform, I've decided not to play this year. I've been far too busy with other things to properly prepare, and I'd rather not play at all than not play at my best.

I will however be there, helping b0b run the steel guitar forum booth, so please stop by and say hello.

Barring any unexpected problems or delays in production, I will have copies of the Curly Chalker DVD available at the show.

It's getting closer and closer!! If you plan to order tickets in advance by mail, they must be postmarked by Jan. 15th in order for us to receive them and prepare the badges. Of course, you can always pay at the door as well. Also, there has been some confusion among some of those who have paid in advance. We do not routinely send out receipts/confirmations. If you have pre-registered and paid in advance, you can pick up your badges/passes at the registration table when you arrive at the show. Looking forward to seeing old and new friends!!
