The Steel Guitar Forum

On our drive back to Nashville, Mark, Regina, Joanie and I never quit talking about how much fun we had at the convention and how nice all the folks were to us. It was great to see and visit with old friends and meet so many new ones. The Peavey Room was a blast thanks to Mike Brown, along with Russ Hicks and Jim Hartley. As for the "Big Stage", what an honor it was to play there, thanks Scotty. We all agreed that Leona Williams was the icing on the cake.

Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome.

Sincerely, Mike Johnson

Mike, Your show was awesome as usual. Your selection of tunes along with your great playing and all that talent in your family made for a great set. Yes Leona was the icing on the cake. Thank you for letting me be a small part of that. I hope to see you next year. My best to you and yours. Loveya pal, Bobby

My friend, John Russell keeps bringing me this great music over, (Billy Yates mainly as they are friends), for me to teach him, I am learning so much too while I work it all out for us both!.

Hope to meet you one day,

David

PS.. Love the ending on 'I'm gonna miss her' (Brad P.) I will use that lick at Saturdays Gig!....

Is that any good or what?
