Show time is near don't miss it its not to late to get advance tickets save a little money.

I would like to thank you guys for the invite.

This is a Diverse Group Of Guitarists and Earl Erb ranges From Blues To Country to Jazz as Well as any of them.

Your right John Earl playes great and can hold his own with the best. Also if anyone needs a room call the Holiday Inn in MtVernon Illinois mention the show got rooms blocked for it see you all there.

I just Put Up a New Website For Earl Last Week and You can Hear His Music Here:

http://nashpropicker.com/earlerb/

Go To Earl's Music on the site and You can Download The Whole CD "The Best Of Earl Erb On A Telecaster"

At No Charge, Compliments of The Man Himself.

Wow, I just downloaded Earls cd and I love it. What great sounds and I love his selection. He is such a wonderful guy. By the way, I don't know how many remember that during the steel show in April, the Holiday Inn was doing some remodeling. Well the remodel is completed and they have a new Stonewolf Steakhouse there. Don and I went last Friday night to try it and it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. The service was great, I ordered my steak rare and I got it rare. It was delicious. We were both stuffed when we left. Plus Kreigers Sports Bar is there too. They put more good food on a plate than I can eat. Hope everyone tries both places while you are there. And right now gas is $2.59 in Mt Vernon and dropping like a rock.

Hey, just wanted to jump in here and add that you can buy tickets for the show online:

See you all there!

Sorry to inform you'all but I had a little accident working on my bushhog and mashed my left hand. Nothing is broken but it is very sore and stiff and will be that way for at least a week. So I will not be playing at the convention(no loss huh).
I may come anyway just to hear some good picking.
Again I thank all of you for the Invite and I hope this is a great success. Looking forward to next year.

Hey Don Is recording welcomed, I may try and get up and do some on one of the days.

Hey Don it will be good to see you. You can get a feel of the room and our needs in a sound system. As far as recording I have no objections as long as we get a copy now I don't no if the players care or not I will have to talk to them. See you there Don.

Well is here show day I'm heading there now hope to see you all there I'll be playing or running the sound stop by and say hi I always like to meet new friends as well as the old ones Don.

On my way rat now![/b]
