The Steel Guitar Forum

Finally! The magazine is going to the printer Monday September 22. The printer and binder will have it 14 days, then it will be mailed. Mail this time should take 3-4 days in the US and the same 7-10 days for Oversaes and Canada. You can mark this on your calendars. Short of an act of God that would prevent it, you can probably get it from your mailbox around October 13th. I will continue working on August/September and hopefully gain some ground back with steel work slacking up a bit, and through the lessons learned through building and assembling the first two issues. I plan on seeing this through to be a first rate publication and further promote steel guitar. Sort of like a mission

Thanks EVERYONE for your enduring patience and support! It's coming

Sincerely,
Terry Wendt

Terry, some just don't realize that having a new baby takes some time and your baby will get here when it's ready. Your undertaking is a step very few would or could do and I for one am willing to be patient, thanks for your efforts, Gary.

Terry, Maybe not putting a date on the issues would help. Just an issue and volume nimber. Then time wouldn't seem out of sync.

Terry,
I have been doing the Ozark Steel Guitar Association Newsletter for 10 years now. The only thing I can tell you is, Keep pluging away. You will eventually get everything together.
The Magazine is great, the advance issue I peaked at in St. Louis looked very promising.
Thanks for doing what I wanted to do, but could never find the time to do.

Terry has quite a job ahead of him trying to put out a mag. It is not an easy job. Like trying to slay a lion with a BB gun.

Gary,

Yes, and If you've ever "had a baby, or two" you know that during the pregnancy you don't get any sleeeeep... and you get slooow and ggrrroggyy.. But, I am feeling better now that I have it ready to go Monday.

Craig, my wife has repeatedly asked me the same thing. Truthfully, the postal regulation for mass mailing at periodical rates requires "regularly scheduled publication dates for release/pub.", and though we can fall behind a little and stay at that rate, we must return to a consistent schedule with the publication release dates in order to keep the qualification for the periodical rate. However, without enough US subscriptions, we don't qualify for the rate at present anyway. I am willing to challenge these obstacles for the folks who have already ordered and have been so very, very patient! YOU GUYS (and Girls ) DESERVE THIS! ...and I plan to do it!

Terry B, you have been a great inspiration in this project, even before it became a fact that we were going to give it a whirl. Thanks so much for this as well as your words of inspiration and encouragement above.

...and Terry B, I believe with what you do with Ozarksga I believe you would agree with me that Craig hit the nail on the head with the "Lion and the BB Gun"

Thanks everyone,

Terry Wendt
