Dan Layne

Hope to see you there Dan. We have just confermed Jimmie Crawford and Bucky Reed.
We all know how great Jimmie is, but those of you who haven't seen and heard Bucky, are in for a treat!!
Dick

For those of you who have attended any of these steel guitar shows, you have noticed that the flyers, and programs, always state
"schedule subject to change". With that in mind, I hate to inform you that, due to unforseen circumstances, Jimmie Crawford and Bucky Reid will not be able to do the "2002 Steel Guitar Celebration" However, on a much happier note we were fortunate enough to get the great Russ Hicks confirmed. Russ is, one of the best steel guitarist I have ever heard
and along with his wife Laney's vocals,
presents a great performance. See ya at the show.
Dick

Here I am again. I just want to let everyone know that Danny Hullihen, a member of the Michigan Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, has confirmed to play at the "2002 Steel Guitar Celebration" at New Philadelphia, OH, I'm looking forward to meeting, and hearing Danny.

Dick

Thanks Dick. I'm really looking forward to playing your show this year, and meeting a lot of folks I haven't had a chance to meet yet. I know it's going to be a lot of fun.

Well folks, the good news just got better. On
3/29/02, Jimmie Crawford confirmed that he, and Bucky Reid, WILL play at the "2002 Steel Guitar Celebration" Jimmie and Bucky and Russ
in the same building? Sounds like a great time doesn't it? See ya there.
