Gospel Steel Show in Indy Gettin' Close

Doug Rolfe · Post by **Doug Rolfe** » 9 Apr 2002 5:27 am

Just a reminder to all of you that the GSGA show here in INDY is just a little over three weeks away on May 3rd and 4th. This is the tenth year for us and we have some of the top names in steel coming such as John Hughey, Hal Rugg, Doug Jernigan, Herby Wallace, Jerry Brightman, David Spires, L.T. Zinn, along with many regional players. David Spires will be giving a 6 hour workshop on Friday the 3rd of May starting at 10:00a.
If you haven't reserved a motel room, you should do it right away as they are going fast. You can call the motel at 317-299-8400 and ask for group sales. Tell them you are with the steel guitar show to get the best room rates.
Don't miss this one!!

Doug....I'm sure you will once again have a great show, and a postive spirit will be present.

Teresa and I enjoyed being a part of your show a few years ago, and look forward to returning in the near future.

Please give our best to our friends.

I just wanted to add that I am again looking forward to being a part of this great show. Being a Gospel Steel Guitar Show, the spirit present at this show is like no other and is really worth the experience.

I also must say that Doug Rolfe does a first class show in every respect, so try to make it if you can.

There is no doubt about it. This is one of the finest shows of the year. What a great group of staff under the direction of Doug and Stevee Rolf. The fellowship and friendship of these talented folks is a great inspiration to all of us. I have always felt a warm welcome in Indy. Looking forward to it.

Me too!! I got me some velcro on my bar and I am ready. I had to miss last year due to surgery and am really looking forward to a great time this year picking and visiting with my friends.

Let me add my comments to all the above. This will be my first year playing this show,
but from what all the others have told me and knowing Doug as well as I do, I can't wait for this show...Looking forward to playing in honor of the great cause!

First class indeed and well run!

Thanks Doug,

Jerry

This is a special show where you hear and feel the music. Doug has brought together great backup musicians that read your style and really make it an enjoyable time. I'm eager to be there again. Thanks Doug and Stevie!

I can't help but be excited and feel blessed about this show and as with the other shows in the past, I know it will be GREAT! And with the Michigan show last week, it is just great to see so many great players in such a short distance performing within weeks of my location in Fort Wayne, and besides, instead of driving to Nashville, I save on expensive gas. What more can you ask for.

Doug,
I'm so very sorry to say that I can't attend this show, as I have gigs on both Friday and Saturday. What an opportunity to hear these great players and give praise. As a relatively new player who's about to start performing in church services, I would surely enjoy the experience.
I'd like to plan for next year's show. Do you know the dates at this time?
Best Wishes for the Show!!
Tony

It's seems as though every year we have people who will say I wish I had known about the GSGA show, I would have tried to make it.
If any of you know of someone who might be interested in coming, please tell them about it. I just talked to the motel management folks today and they said that they had maybe four or five rooms left. If you were ever going to come and enjoy the show, this is the year. Don't miss it as it only happens once a year
Our show is always the first Friday and Saturday of May each year. We already have the motel booked for next year at the same time.
Ya'all Come!!!

This year's show should prove intresting!! Herby is working on a new song "Four wheel drive for church transportation" Hughey has a new one also "Look at us on the way to church"....kinda catchy huh? I 'bout forgot Hal has one too "Coal miner's daughters also go to church"... Becky Spires will be playing for David...David had an accident, he rolled the window down to spit and the wind caught his lips and bruised up both hands!! Hope you get better soon David

Hey Roy and David,

We are now only two weeks away from the annual GSGA Show and things are coming together quite well. All I can say at this point is that we have done the most that we have ever done to make this one the best one yet. Don't miss it. We are expecting great things.
