The Siloam Springs Show

Buck Grantham R.I.P. · From: Denham Springs, LA. USA

We all had a great time at the show.My fingers are still sore on the ends,and speaking of ends , my rear end I think will forever stay completely flat from playing guitar all those hours both days. But I would do it again in a heart beat because it was well worth it.We had the best line up of players we ever had and the backup band was a pleasure to play with.The weather was perfect and the ladies had all that great food for us.Everyone was so nice to us. I've been playing that show about ten years and really appreciate the Club letting Mitzi and I come upi there and be a part of it .. Love, Buck & Mitzi

Buck, I don't know how you sat there all day both days. You did a good job on the lead and steel and we always enjoy seeing you and Mitzi.

I think the show was one of the best ones they have had. I know a lot of hard work went into getting things together. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the Siloam Club. Norma Jean, Larry, Virgil, Donelly, Ray & any that I may have missed, a job WELL DONE!!!!!!!!

Thanks to the band, BUCK,MARTY,ROY,LARRY & BOB. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Fred for sharing his set with Austin on Sunday. Fred is a supper player. Hope everyone had a safe trip home.

Donna & Jerry

Dana Stewart · From: Kansas, USA

We wanted to say thanks to the club for inviting Austin to play. We only made it for Sunday, but that was sure a fun day. Thanks to Fred for letting Austin play with him on his set as well.

Buck, you sure did some picking on both the lead and the steel.

Buck we are always so honored to have you and Mitzi to bail us out each year. You are right, everyone seemed to like being back at the art center inspite of the steps. You did a fantastic job as always. I can't say thank you enough. Also to Roy Rosetta and Barbara. Roy is a must to have in the back up band. Marty, the drummer did a very good job as this was his first steel show to even attend. The players all commented on how solid he kept the beat without over playing. I want to say thanks to all the players, the ladies who helped with the food and to Ray Qualls for making our program for us. Do you think I need to do another commercial for Fred Justice? There is always so many people behind the scene that makes this show possible but it would take too long to individually name each one but the club does appreciate all your help. Bill Myrick and his lovely wife Eva contributes so much to the shows. Thanks to Larry Garrett,the president of the club, Vance Monday, vice president, Donley Harrington, secretary, Virgil Pittman, treasurer. You all did a good job and I'm proud to be just a small part of this club. Looking forward to next year!

Yes, this was a Great Show and thanks for letting me be a part of it too! Buck thanks for helping me out. I hope you can get up to play on our show at Marshfield.

It is alot of work putting these shows together, as I found out last year when we had our first show then. I commend all who participated in this Siloam Springs Show. The people were all super nice, the food was great and the backup players all done a fabulous job.

GOD bless!

Beverly and I had a good time. I was really impressed by the good playing. I was probably one of the poorest players on the show. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is the quality sound Jerry Newberry got out of his rig.

Curt Shoemaker · From: Ionia, Kansas, USA

I would like to thank the Siloam Springs Club for the hospitality shown during this past weekend. I had a super time and enjoyed seeing everyone. Thank you back-up band! "Great Job" along with Rob & Norma Jean for the vocals. A big thanks to all the Steel Fans who came to see the show. Regards, Shoe

Terry Wood · From: Lebanon, MO

One more thing I would like to comment on. I was very impressed with the vocalists at Siloam Springs. They all done a great job!

I had never heard the Rev. Wayne Smith from TX and he and Rob Parker were just super on Saturday morning. Very moving rendition of the Song Colorado by these two artists!

GOD bless!

Thanks to the guys and gals who worked so hard to put together this 13th show. Special thanks goes to (Curator) Bep Morrison of the Sager Creek Arts Center for allowing the club to have it there again. Its came a long way in the last 13 years. All the players were great and the back-up band did a fantastic job of helping each player. The food was plentiful and I ate my share and more! Embarassed

The sound in that old building sounded like the Old Ryman! It was good to see so many old friends and visit and all I can says is "Guys", Same Time, Same Place next year.

P.S. Ronnie Neighbors couldn't make it this year and we sure missed him and Faye. Keep Ronnie in your prayers as he's having some health issues and we're looking forward to seeing him next year.

I just want to add my thanks to the band, the ladies who provided the food and to everyone involved in the club for all their work. Also thanks to Buck for hangin' in there and playing lead. It was good to have Roy there too and the others. Thanks to Larry King for playing bass for me. I really enjoyed both days and it was good to be back at Sager Creek. I also want to thank Bart O'Neal and Johnny Hudson, for singing on my set. They are part of our Vintage Country Stage show in Gravette. They did a bang up job and they really enjoyed themselves.
