You bet I'll be back again Norma Jean. What a great organization. This show is one of the highlights of mine and Barbara's schedule every year. First class show, first class venue and once again, a first class organization.
See you all real soon,
...Roy and Barbara

I regret that I will be unable to make the Siloam Springs show this year.
Due to a lot of things going on in our lives right now.
I do hope I can stay on the list and be back next year. You folks sure do a good job and really support steel guitar to the fullest. I'll sure miss being there.

Thanks for the invite. I will be There...

Fred, we will miss having you. You bet you'll be invited again next year. Thanks for the kind words. We think you're great player as well as being a good person and good friend. Tell Brenda hi from all of us!

Rob Parker you were suppose to be on the list too. You can blame it all on me.(I think you call it a senior moment) Please accept my apology.

Please confirm the Rollers.
Thanks,
Jerry
