I just wanted to add my two cents worth about this great shows. I have been doing steel guitar shows all over the country for nearly 25 years and the Chattanooga show is without a doubt one of the finest I have ever played. Barry Gilreath does everything first class. The Hotel, the backup band, the lineup of players and so on. I can't even think of one thing that should be changed, so if you're considering this show, I strongly recommend it. The Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel is an experience in itself.
Also, I might mention that Barry Gilreath is having some Country Music variety shows in Ringgold, GA two nights a month. There is a new theatre that just opened and is unbelieveable. It is located about 1 1/2 miles off I-75 just below Chattanooga and is very easy to find. I will be playing in the staff band on many of these shows and Barry is also having us do some instrumentals too. We are doing a show on February 15th and again on March 1st as well as many others later on. For specific info, contact Barry for a flyer.

There's nothing more that I can add to what Bill and Herby have already said, so I'll just reiterate the fact that Barry really does the show, as was mentioned, first class. I'm very proud to be included in the staff band and we're looking forward to seeing all of our friends at the "Choo Choo" in April.

I'm delighted to be returning to play this show again this year. It's a first-rate show, with the same backup band as the ISGC, so you KNOW it's gonna be great. Bring the spouse and stay in one of the classic rail cars for a special treat (and then invite me over to check it out!  ) See ya's there!
