Lets bump her back to the top

Hey Joe Smith sure nice to see you in there. Be seeing you guys before long.Keep you fingers crossed and help us to sell here and move back where we should have stayed.
Sam White

Hey Sam. Good to hear from you. Sure hope you can move back to North Carolina. We miss you guys.

Hey guys, this is a special show for me, I will be doing some special tricks that I haven't done in the past. I'll have some super special guitars from some great manufacturers, including the newest Webb and Standel amps.

How about some Jackson steel guitars?
Being my old home area when I was a child, I'm going to do my best, besides, I owe it to you all. I went to the sixth gread in China Grove, seven of the best years of my life!

My father had music stores in Statesville, Charlotte, Concord, Hickory and taught school bands in several of these towns in the 50's.
This will be my last time to ever play in your area, so I'm letting it all hang out.

To all my great friends in mid North Carolina,
Thank you and I'm looking forward to doing this great show.

Your great friend,
Bobbe Seymour

Up To The Top for our Freinds.
Sam & Anna White

It looks like I might be able to make this one! What's the motel situation in the Thomasville area? Are there any sections of town where it's not good to stay in? It's a little to far to drive there and back in one day so the wife and I will probably come down on Friday and drive back on Sunday. Is there any music going on in the area on Friday night? Thanks in advance.........JH in Va.

Jerry,

The date did not change! It has always been August 8th (Saturday). Sorry you can't make it!

This will be my last time to ever play in your area

John,What Bobbe meant to say is,that this will be the last time until the next "last time"... The Eagles have been on their last reunion tour for 5 years now..

Here I was expecting Good News.
Oh Well, I guess a person's ego can be too heavy to carry.

Lets bring to the top so you can see the motels listed for the jam.

Hi; To all music lovers and steel players.August the 8th is just around the corner,so make plans to attend one of the greatest program`s ever put together. I look forward to seeing you there. E R Chandler

John Floyd, looking forward to seeing you, been a while since the Norfolk days, I owe you dinner! At least you used to come to see me in Nashville!
Jerry Hayes, I wish this wasn't near the end but after you hear me play, you might be glad it is!
Remember, I'm 103 now! VA. beach was good to me!

Bobbe

Then I was Never very important anyway, just the guy who hung out with Curly. I never Knew you in Norfolk, It was Nashville, Sound 88.

I don't go to Steel Guitar Shows anymore, Catch You on The Dinner down the road somewhere. Might Be visiting with Smiley later on this year. Catch You at The Store.

Can You Tell me whatever happened to Robby Roberson?

I understand that Robby Roberson has gone on the the big electronics store in the sky, a shame as he was a very smart guy and a real talent.

Bobbe

I've got my steel tuned up - not that it will help me a lot. Looking for a good jam and show Saturday!!!

I've been flooded with calls and emails like, "I've only been playing for a short while" or "I'm not a member, can I still play" Players of all levels are invited to join in. I can't promise how long each set will because I don't know how many players will register.

Looks like I will have to miss this one. Sure wish I could be there.

Yer Joe looks like Anna and I are not going to make it either. No one has bought our place yet.We can not understand it. The realtor has showed it about 40 times and evryone love the place and they want it but we have not seen any money yet.It was just showed again today at 6 PM.Sure wanted to be moved down there for this Show to see my freind Bobbe Seymour and to try to tell John Floyd the Civil War is over and none of ue were around when that went on.The North did not win the South did you have all that beautiful country and live a great calm life.This is a mad house up here everyone is in a hurry to go no where.
