The Steel Guitar Forum

Gordon, we are all excited about seeing and hearing you again also. And, Ronnie has been in town rehearsing with Hank so we are all in for some of the best steel music anywhere. Have a very full schedule and the program will be posted this coming week.
Food wise-my sister Gladys has agreed to make us a very large pot of REAL FRESH SHRIMP GUMBO-and her long time experience in this makes it the best in the world. (I was at her home for dinner today and after the first bowl, I HAD to eat four more). This will be a special gift for all the players from her and me in appreciation of all you guys. See you soon.

DSSG will have the show schedule posted in a day or so. Lots of excitement for our June 20 show and a very full line up of top knotch players from Branson, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia etc will be in house.
Relly excited to see and visit with Cayla and her delightful family. Cayla and Ms Mini Minnie will get us of to a proper start with her Pledge of Allegiance leadership and Hal Higgins' beautiful arrangement of the National Anthem. Thanks again.

Bill, you can't go wrong with Hal Higgins' playing.
He is a real talented player. I have heard Hal play, and he has been to my house before. IMHO Hal is fine and gracious gentleman.
Tommy Shown.

TOMMY S. don't brag on HAL too much if you do his hair stands up on end, his head swells then he gets a little too big------ HA HA just pickin on him great guy but does have funny hair last time i seen him... can't wait till it gets here YEE HAA

HAL WHAT'S all this i been getting mail about you and the EGGBEATER haircut, didn't get all the info they said you would be glad to explain,

HOPE TO SEE AND HEAR YOU PLAY AGAIN MY FRIEND

Tommy....the "hair hasn't changed" its still standing up......lol. Looking forward to seeing all my good friends and hear some great steelin'. However, I have to work that nite in Port Vincent, LA so I'll have to get back there by seven PM to get sound and everything set up.......but I'm gonna have a good time while I'm there........HAL

Hey friends,

Hate it, but I'm not gonna make it to Mississippi this time. From the looks of the great line-up of players, and the reputation of this fine show, I know I'll be missing a great time. Mr. Bill, I promise to get down there one of these days.

Hal, I hate I'm gonna miss the opportunity to meet you, I was really looking forward to it. About the hair, let's just be proud we still have some to make fun of, right?

Anyway, everybody have a little extra fun to make up for what I'll miss.

See ya soon,
Jim

I'm very thankful everyday that I do have hair, Jim. Mine's just turned white and not loose (LOL) sure was looking forward to meeting you, too. Maybe next time.....Come on folks just a few short days from now.....I'm ready to "steel something" how 'bout you? HAL

I am so excited about coming to watch the show, I can't stop talking about it to my friends and co-workers. I even told my boss, I would be out of town this weekend, so don't call to me to come in. I'm really looking forward to meet everybody face to face and shake hands and say howdy everyone that I have chatted with on forum. I already know Hal. And he is player that I admire and love to hear play. We live right around the corner from each other in the same town too. And Tommy I am really looking forward to meeting you too. I'll have the wife with me too, to keep me in line as always.
Tommy and Roxanne Shown
