:D I am proud to announce that the O.S.G.A. is planning their next jam . The date is '' August 8th 2009 '' As everyone knows here on the forum we are having a great time . The club is doing very well and has been blessed with great players and visitors to come and listen to us . What more could you ask for ? As always we have had some great helpers that serve the food and help with the running of the jam . Thanks to everyone that has been a part of the event ,without you we couldn't do it ! I think everyone knows that the event is an alcohol and smoke free venue . You can bring mom and dad and the whole family and have a great afternoon of music and food . Keep in mind some of our players have some history behind them . Some have played for George Jones ,Tammy Wynette , Gene Shepherd , Crash Craddock , Ferlin Husky ,etc. So if you want to hear them play some of your favorite music come out and support them . The venue is close to all major freeways . Hope to see you at the jam . Best regards ,, G.P.

The Day job does tend to get in the way of our steel habit sometimes. One of life's necessary evils, I guess. It's looking like I can make this one. I might even bring my steel. LOL :lol:

O.s.g.a

Hey all!!, looks like i'll make this one too!. I enjoy playing at these jams. Its great fun and good food and i really enjoy getting to chat and sit in with all steel pickers, it always comes around just in time to blow the rust off my fingers once again!. (they do tend to get a little rusty). Everyone there is very good people!.

Always

:) Hi all . We expect everyone to bring their steel guitars and play a set for us . We will have Tammy , Jeff , and Marvin play a set for us if they are ok with it . We want everyone to play the songs that they have worked so hard to play . We are a fun steel guitar club and all are friends . Hope to see everyone at the jam . Best regards , G.P.
P.S. i think i will bring my 1980 L.D.G. to this jam . It has killer tone ! I'm sorry that some of you can't make the jam as we miss you when you aren't here . :cry:

Maybe you should mention the lunch plan again. It's the highlight of my day. (The ladies do such a fine job of arranging it!) :D

Mr. Martin, you didn't make that clear if you were coming or not.
