Lookin' forward to this weekend. Yee-Haa!

Wow is it this week-end? I guess I better figure out what I am going to play.

I'm gonna play the same stuff I been doin for the last 5 shows!!!!! Hell...I know 'em now!!!!!

4 days!!!!!!!!!

I am doing all old country standards along with Travis McBride and Miss Michelle Reck. She has got a voice that will blow you away! She is a big fan of Connie Smith if that tells ya anything. Looking forward to this show!! Ya'll come!

Bump for a great show. Looking forward to being there.

Friendship and great music this weekend - what could be better?

Well it was a good show. Jim Cohen played great as did everybody else there.

I agree with you Craig. Great show.

I thank Lefty and all the crew for allowing me to be a part of a great event here in the Midwest. The efforts and dedication of all the individuals in the backup band were superb. What a great group. The support individuals also did a great job.

Scotty and Jim Cohen did a superb job.


I want to say that the vocalists did a superb job also bringing such great singing to the stage

Definitely a group of people where no one is a stranger.


Thanks to everyone.

I just got back from the show last night.
I had a great time and you will never find a better bunch of people than those present at the Iowa show.
They really make a left-handed-Norwegian feel right at home, by golly boy!

Thanks to the entire NEISG staff for another great show.
Kirk thank you for the horn solos on my set. Wishin' I could have been there for the whole show and jam. Next year for sure!

My thanks and respect to the NEISG organizers and performers. As usual, a first-rate show with really great people and excellent musical performances.

I sort of look forward to these shows like I would to a yearly reunion with the best darn family a person could wish for!

Just got home...that was a blast...EVERYONE was awesome. Thanks to the whole staff for making Deb and I feel So welcome. Albert, and Jim....What can I say? All truly Blessed! Peace and Love! JD

I've talked to all the houseband hombre's and we are all tuckered out. What a crazy show, pickers from all over the midwest resided in Waterbucket this weekend. Not one person thrown in jail, or houses burned down. The only house burning was The Electric Park Ballroom, cause there was some serious picking going on. Everyone is picking so good, sounding so good, dang even Bobby Regot broke into a sweat. I'm so amazed how all of these players are improving, practicing cause they have a "Steel Guitar" show to play. Everyone played wonderful and thanks for working me real hard.
Special thanks to Scotty and Bobby Regot for coming to our show after losing close friends so soon. You guys are TOP SHELF.
Jim Cohen did a fantabulous performance, we're gonna do it again mark my words. Thanks Jimbouz
It was a special weekend when the Lange family with the Rose family came to perform together for us. Thanks to everyone.

Well, I finally met my Waterloo! What a great weekend! Jane and I had a wonderful time and I want to thank all the fine folks of the NEISG association for inviting me to play this past weekend. It was truly an honor and a highlight of my year. The house band was stellar, all of the other players were outstanding, the sound and stage crews great, and the hospitality and camaraderie was superb. It really just doesn't get better than that. Jane and I hope to have a chance to return and enjoy your company again someday in the future. Many thanks, once again, to all involved.

I've got to add that Bobby Regot is a 5 star addition to the NEISG back up band. The group has been one of the most versatile, easy to work with back up bands and just got even better.

I'll second that statement about Bobby Regot being a great drummer. He's one of the best and as good as it get's.

Everyone worked very hard before, during and after the show!!! Great house band, great stage hands and staff for smooth transition, the wonderful smiling ladies at the front door with hugs ready and just great camaraderie!!! God bless all for coming and helping out.
