The Steel Guitar Forum

We are finalizing the list of players for the June 24th GaSGA PeachJam. In addition to several great local and regional players, John Hughey, Larry Sasser, and Herby Wallace have confirmed. I want to thank these fine folks up front for volunteering their time for our particular cause this show. We are promoting this show as a fundraiser for Yvonne Moore’s medical treatments.

We are amassing quite a collection of raffle items including CD’s and videos from many of the best known and popular steel players around. We have several items from George L’s and even a Peavey Amp courtesy of Bobbe Seymour!! If you have raffle donations, please let Steve Gies know at sgeis2000@netzero.com.

Please join us in Atlanta at the Yarab Shrine Temple from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM June 24th.

Edited to say that Randy Beavers has a conflict and will not be able to join us. Look below for a complete list of players.

Hey Bill,

I'll get there as quick as I can Sunday morning, but it may not be real early. I'm working a fairly late gig Saturday night, so hopefully Wayne S. or maybe Roger will be there early. Let me know if that is a problem.

Folks, this is a show we should all support, even if we can't attend. The Moores are wonderful friends and could certainly use our help and support right now.

See ya there,
Jim

This is a show that not only has a direct effect on some dear friends, but provides a great stage for all to see and hear. The backup band can't be beat. The food is always just like home. Parking is free and plentiful. It will be a day full of unforgetable fun.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this celebration.
