I'm back home from the show in Leslieville, Canada (after a plane concellation and a 3 hour delay in Mpls) and it was a great show. All the players were very fine players and of course, Doug Jernigan wowed the audience with his jazz and fast bluegrass tunes. He just seems to get better and better and faster and faster. Bob Tallifer was as great as ever and I finally got to hear my long time friend, Doug Aman play. A good country player.
I want to thank both Jeff Bradshaw, for allowing me to be a part of the show, and the audience for being so kind to me. It means a lot to me. Scotty |

Well, Jeff's show keeps getting better and better. Attendence seemed up this year and the standard of musicianship was as high as ever. It means a lot to us players out in the boonies to see the best in the world and to get to mix with our old friends whom we only see once a year.

I want to thank Jeff for putting so much effort into this event, and stepping up to the plate and putting it on, First Class.
Unfortunatly I had to leave early this year but I caught Bob's set, what a great Jazz player, and great guy,
Doug is a true Master super picker, one of only a Handful IMHO, Greg |

I also want to thank Jeff Bradshaw and his family for a great steel show.
The hospitality was great.
Getting to hang out with old friends and hear all the pickers was a real treat.
The band was great. The level of musicianship was indeed very high!
I had a great time!
Merci beaucoup Jeff and family! Bob |

Hi Bob, It was such a treat to have you as well as all the other players here in Leslieville this year.
Greg, your welcome and yes it is a lot of work, so much so that I do not have opportunity to think about what I am going to play or prepare like I should:-)
John, yes this show has been growing by about 50 people a year...just under 200 paid to get in this year...I plan on doing one again next year and look forward to seeing you then. Thanks again to all who participated. Best regards. ..jeff |

Thanks to Jeff for a terrific show. I was thrilled and proud to be included in this years show again. Seeing Bob Taillefer was every bit as good as I had hoped. He has been one of my favorite players since I picked up his first CD a couple of years ago. The new one is great as well. Of course seeing Doug Jernigan is inspirational and awe inspiring. Getting a chance to talk with the other steel players from our province is a great experience as well.
