Danny, Danny, Danny...once again I am double booked. I promise one of these days I'm gonna get up there to see & hear you play! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Have fun...I'll be there in spirit!

Lana, we would all certainly love to have you here with us again this year, but I do understand, as this is a busy time of year with many events going on. If we record this show again, I'll be sure to send you a DVD. Hopefully you'll be able to join us this coming summer at our anual steel guitar show.

We're really looking forward to seeing all of our many great friends again. We are blessed to have so many talented players here in Michigan.

What a Christmas or birthday or just Tuesday present that would be!

As soon as you confirm your date this summer, let me know. I am already booked for the last weekend of July.

Ya'll take care and have a very Merry Christmas.

Tomorrow is our big day and it looks to be a good one with a nice lineup of players. Some of the steelers are already checked in and we had our rehearsal/jam session here in my basement this evening. Bud, we sure miss you and hope you can make it next time. Jerry, we are all looking forward to hearing some of Bucks tunes that you play so wonderfully. Al, we will miss you, as you are a wealth of knowledge on the steel guitar. Lana, we are sure looking forward to having you come up next summer and we will have to get together and check our datebooks.
