Hi Bill Cunningham.....looking forward to seeing you again. I hope you're ready to play some bass here on the show. You know I need a lot of help. Ray Harrison will be here too. Should be a great time.......

Denny, I'm looking forward to visiting with you. You and the Wilburn Bros. edition Ampeg baby bass don't need any help. I love the sound you get and the way you play it. But you know I'll be glad to set in .

See ya'll in a couple of weeks!

Well, I am getting the big coffee pot out this weekend to get it ready for the show. We will have hot coffee stage side at our show for everyone. This is a much anticipated show due to it's intimacy and great vibe. We have great artists, great staff, great vendors and don't forget the free full breakfast buffet at the hotel and the 70 degree weather . By the way, I just wanted to give an advanced thank you to our registration crew that works so hard and doesn't always get the praise and appeciation they deserve. Look forward to seeing all of you there real soon!

Thanks, Rick for the words of encouragement you gave to the registration crew. We greatly anticipate seeing so many of our friends coming to Arizona to the SWSGA show. The coffee is so appreciated, too! See you there!

Meriul Easton (and all the registration gals)

Hey Rick.......we'll be glad to have you here, pal. We can never have too many bass players, can we??

One of these days I'll make it to this show!... but sadly not this year.

Billy Easton, I'll miss hearing your sweet C6th on that Sho~Bud! Hearing you a few years ago at the PerlJam changed the way I play 6th tuning stuff, and for that my friend... thanks big time!

Have a ball everyone!

I want Rick Schmidt to play some steel.

Make room for another bass player from New Hampshire. It's been around 15 degrees here and I can't wait for that warm weather!! See you all next week.

Thanks for the nice thought Ray! I think the schedule must be pretty well filled up with great players already. I'm good with just getting to soak up the good vibes. See you there!

Great list but bring your steel - we always have a no show or 2

Looking forward to next week

There's also the lounge after the shows have ended.
Just ask David

9 degrees in Merrimack NH this morning. Can't wait for next week.

Garry,
Which David??

To my sorrow, I have no choice but to cancel my plans and trip to the show this year. I will very much miss seeing, hearing and visiting with all the great folks. Hopefully Billy and the gang will see fit to have me back next year. This is one of the best shows of all the shows around the country. If you can possibly make this one,,,,DO IT! You'll be glad and happy that you did.
Thanks and God bless,
BB
