Looks like we will be having ourselves a great program on the 17th, with Joe wright, John Lemaster, Chet Gibson confirmed. Larry Mangum, singer, songwriter, bandleader of The Cowboy Orchestra, will be doing a set with some great country and swing tunes. I believe Miss Penny Lynn will also make an appearance, her first since last year. Who knows, the Yella Fella, Loren Propper, may even show up and do Rose Colored Glasses! Members are getting the word out to friends and supporters. Let's fill up the place and enjoy an afternoon of good music and fellowship. Lonnie

Lonnie spent the day with Jack Dougherty yesterday went to Tallahassee picked up his new Emmons PP sure sounds good, he will be at the meeting if he can get off, plans to come with the new Emmons.

You can pay at the door if you like. Thanks for your support. Lonnie Portwood

Lonnie, guess we will miss this one. DARN ! We are heading to W.Va. that week end. Maybe see you in ST.Louis ? We are already booked for that trip. Please say hello to Chet for us. Don't have his #.
Jack & Loretta

Lonnie, looks like you folks are set to have a really great time. Wish I could be there and visit.. Long way from Arizona.
Take care

I wish you guys well on the anniversary show.

FYI, it's Jack "Dougherty" and we have been pronouncing it "Dority".

Jack, I know West Va. would be hard to turn down. How about Telling Robt Bird its time to go home! Ray, you've got plenty of time, fill-up that Stingray and come on over and help us with some Texas singing?Jack, thanks for the best wishes and correction. Ya'll come, now!!! Lonnie

Lonnie, we have been telling Robert Bird for years, to just lay down and let nature take it's course. But he said they will find him still in office, sitting at his desk, someday. He reminds me of old Strom Thurman.
Anyway, hate it that we are missing this one. The W.Va. trip has a Nashville trip tied to it as well and was planned several months ago. Hope to see ya in St. Louis. Also, if you are playing around the area, please shoot us an e-mial or call us so we can come by.
