Can't wait to see everybody again!

Will be good to see you again Mike. You are so right about Fulton they always show you a good time and the folks and food are always great. I'm going to be there and sing all the songs that Jim Parker don't know.
Sure have missed this show. It is one of the fun shows and they have some great local talent and pickers too.
Also Mr Smooth Bill Stafford from Biloxi. A southern gentleman and player of the highrst order.

Hey Mike,

You've got that right about the folks in Mississippi. I was there last year and couldn't have felt more welcomed. Saw lots of old friends and made a bunch of new ones and heard some pretty decent music too. Heck, I may just show up again this year.

Jim

This will be my first time to attend Fulton. Could I get more info? Location, cost, etc. or where I can find this?
Thanks!

Folks,this is getting bigger and better by the day!I just hope the Hammer is 100% by then.Jim Hartley,it would be great if you could make it.You are one of the few that know what to do with a set of drums!

Scott,if you're on US78,get off on exit 104 and go north on hwy 25 just a few hundred yards.Turn left at the traffic light and go through the industrial park about 3/4mile.The show will be in a big metal building on your right.There'll be a sign there.

I don't know the admission price,but I can tell you it ain't enough for the music you'll hear.

Andy

Bump for this good show and more players have been added and the admission Andy is 10 dollars for each day.

Friends,if you can't get your $20 worth of good steel and traditional country music on this weekend,you won't get your money's worth anywhere.The fellowship with good,down to earth people is worth more than that.The great music is a bonus.See you there!

Bill Stafford i will be glad to share docs singing talent with you and maybe Doc will do those Gene Autrey songs with you. I dont no them. There are other singers there as well that will be glad to help you.I am looking forward to a great time to see everyone and dont forget the seminar that saturday morning. Jim

J - Did you know my friend, Carl Fitzgerald, WMOX,Meridian? He passed away c. a yr. ago.

Sounds like this is building up into a good show. Anxious to hear all players. Thanks for sharing Doc, Jim. I need all the help I can get.
Been breaking in my new EXCEL and this new one really sounds great! New, and much hotter, brighter, cleaner,crisp pick up by Mitsuo Fujii. This pickup has about twice the gain of my current one, and that one works good. New one is unbelievable. Also has a new stainless steel integrated tuner/changer system. Very positve action on all the pedals and levers. Come by and take a look.
See you all soon.
Bill STafford

Dr. Hugh i knew Mr. Carl that passed away earlier this year and i miss seeing him and hearing all the stories. Mr. Bill there will be several singers there that will be willing to help you anyway they can. I have you a booth spot as well for you and looking forward to seeing you there. In Fulton the red carpet is always rolled out for people. Jim

Just a few weeks away! Got your costume ready???

This is going to be a really good show. The folks in Fulton work hard to make sure everyone enjoys themselves so I hope everyone in the area will come and take advantage of the music, conversation and fun!

Getting closer.
