The Steel Guitar Forum

After reading a few requests from members requesting places to hear some steel I realized the Forum is a perfect place to provide that information.
Towards that end I figured I'd start this post in "Events and Announcements" and see if it catches on.
If you have a gig somewhere, and it's
open to the general public, why not post it here? There's probably a good chance there is someone in your area who would love to stop by and check things out.
Remember this is for everyone not just the
Pros. We need the $50 a night weekend warriors (like myself) to make this work.
The following format should be used:
Name
City Band Name
type of establishment
name of establishment
rating ex: bring the kids or 21 and over
band name
date
start time.

Lori/b0b,

I think Bob G has got something good started here. Lori, please read your e-mail and talk to b0b about my ideas. I think there is a simple thing that can be done to make "Post-a-Gig" a permanent feature within "Events and Announcements". It would benefit all and make your job of editing for gigs that have been completed easier. Talk to you soon.

Bob Putnam

Bob, received your e-mail and have shared your suggestion with b0b. Thanks, everyone!
