Wouldn't miss Tommy Dodd for anything. Great picker, super nice guy, and friend to all steel pickers. Looking forward to your shows Tommy.

Hey Glenn you can count me in on the MASGA Jam. Anna and I will be there and I hope I'm able to play better than last time .I'm still trying to get the timing straitened out. See you there.

Let's take this to the top and fresh on our minds.

Glen, ER, Kevin and the rest of the MASGA family. I'm sure looking forward to being back in Kanapolis again, we always have a good time.

By the way, that is my birthday weekend, and I really like chocolate chip cookies.

See ya there,
Jim

Jim, you want me to bring you a bag of cookies ?

Tony

Hey Tony,

Don't let me forget, I still owe you a big ol' cheeseburger don't I? Cheeseburgers and chocolate chip cookies. Add a bunch of good friends, lots of good music and the weekend is complete.

See ya there,
Jim

I'm thinking serious about coming down. I'll let you know for sure in a couple weeks. It would be good to see you again.

Tony

Glen, I can't make the jam/show, but if you need to borrow a steel to play I might loan you mine.
Take care my friend---dick

Dick, I don't know about playing your steel - I would be really afraid of putting a scratch on that beautiful Marlin. I really hope you can make it to one of our jams. I think you would enjoy yourself and we would be blessed with your playing. Besides, you would likely meet Mike Calaway - I believe he helped build your Marlin.

Glen, Sure wish I could make it down there for the jam. I'll be down that way in Nov. Maybe there will be something going on then.

Jim,

At some point at one of our jams, I would like to feature you the same as we are featuring Tommy. Our steelers would really appreciate your John Hughey styling. Hope to see you at some point along the line and maybe Rick will ask me to play Hummingbird again. I don't believe that we have ever featured a 12 string universal player. We have a very GOOD 12 string extended E9th (Joe Turner) that we feature any time we can.

Lets Boot MASGA to the top.

I've met Joe at the NTSGA jam and he lights that Marlin up very well.

Bumpie!

Let's "STEEL" our way to the top again!

Top-a-ru!

I'll get to see my GA friends and my MASGA friends. I've been back working in NC for 10 months and haven't even had a chance to go see Buster Warren.

Hey Glen Anna and I will be there early Saturday morning .I got all cranked up Saturday at the Clayton Steel Jam and I'm raring to go again.See you Saturday morning and George Williamson will be coming down also.Ray Walker said he is going down Friday night and he will have to leave Saturday as he has a Gig to play.Ray does a great job playing the Raines Steel Guitar and I enjoy listening to him play.He also has been showing me a lot of licks.
Sam White

We are still planning a "Newbie", "Beginners", "Intermediate", session - probably starting around 10:00am for 30 to 60 minutes. We want to give those steelers a chance to play before an audience and/or help them play with tracks. Come on out and bring your steel and then play it!

In addition, we have added a Friday evening and night jam from 6 PM till as long as there's someone who wants to play up till Midnight. This addition should acommodate those who can't make it on Saturday, and those who travel a long distance will have the opportunity to get more playing time, to help justify the trip.

See seperate post

I'm hoping to get there just before 10:00 AM.. Anna and I are bringing a friend George Williamson and I told him to be at my home by 8:00 AM. It will take me about 2 hours to get there.I'm 138 miles from Kannapolis.I'll be putting the hammer down so stay out of the way I will think I'm back Racing Stock Cars.
