The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks to every one, I had a good time and got to see some friends. The group of folks from WV were very much enjoyed. As well as the PPL steeler, very impressive. And of course Sonny and the regulars. Wish I were better at remembering names. I counted 15 steels, is that close?

I was surprised by my friend, the guitar player I am privileged to work with on Fridays, showing up and visiting and sharing a few laughs. Surprised me Al...

Kenny, let me know if you want those chips installed in your 112 next Jam. I'll bring my tools and do a demo before the fun starts.

Again thanks all...

Yes Dick, Good Lord's willin' the mod on the 112 is a go.

Kenny,
The chips are on their way. We'll do it next jam..

Make sure they send out some salsa with the chips. Souds good. Lookin' forward to.

You bet...

I think we outdid ourselves this time . We had more pedal players than ever i think ( correct me if i'm wrong )! Mister Sexton i am trying to remember just how many players we had . 15/16 is close i think maybe more ! I want to thank everyone that came to share their day with us . Especially those that came from out of state ! We are having more and more great players attending our jams it seems . I have been in the hospital most of last week after the jam and got out last Friday . I think i'm on the road to recovery . A special thanks to everyone that helped us make the jam a success . We do appreciate the help more than you know . The next jam is Nov . 13 th . See you there i hope . G.P.

Gary,

There was 16 pedal steels and one lap steel at the jam. I counted them... twice.

You ''D'' man Marvin . Thanks . By the way do you need a bodyguard when you guys go to the ''Big Island '' ? I would even wear a grass skirt if that would help

Marvin, 18" on those 2 cables will work. Gary, I'm glad you're out of the "Big House", and feelin' better. I just happen to see RJ's post day before yesterday about you being in there.

Forgot my last smily face.

Kenny ,The hospital is the last place i want to go to for rest ! You no more get to sleep when they want to do vitals on you . I suppose we all have to go there sooner or later ! G.P.

Kenny,

Your cables are ready.

Gary , im sure glad you are better ole buddy!! .I also had a fantastic time at the last Jam. It took alot of talkin, but im so glad i got my good friend John Call, (Pure Prairie League steeler), to come up and sit in with us. It was a huge honor to sit next to him and have him pick with us. I sat between Sonny Curtis and John Call and i had a blast. John sounds as good as he always did and i hope he comes back!. He's touring quite alot but ill see what i can do!!!. Also id like to mention that the women sure took care of us with handleing the food. Patty Preston and my wife Vicky gave done a great job!!! Also John Calls wife Andrea and all the singers were great! I enjoyed hearing all the fine steel players that showed up and Ike on the guitar and fiddle sounded really great!. Im counting on being there again the next time also. I hope other pickers show as well!.....Gary and Marvin done a great job with setting everything up! , we couldnt do it without you! It just keeps getting better and better!!!

Leland, does John's wife Andrea have any CD's? She's a tremendous singer.

I'll have to ask. And you are right!!, she's great!

I agree with you guys ,i think we had a great time and lots of steel players and side men . I think folks are getting the message that we have a great time and a fun time at the jams . I hope the jams keep getting bigger and bigger to where we will need a bigger venue . If not that then maybe change our way of doing things a little . Either way lets keep it rolling and see where it ends up . Thanks to everyone that has helped us grow . We have had help from folks that aren't musicians or singers and for that we are thankful . Be blessed . G.P. P.S. i think i am getting stronger each day and soon back to full strength .
