[Herby Wallace]

I am looking forward to this great show again as I had to miss last year and that is the only one I have ever missed. I must say that Al has one of the best lineups of players I have seen in quite awhile, so don't miss this one. I hope to see many of you there.

[Ron Page]

I also missed last year's event. I'm planning on being there this year, but you know how golfers are when those late Fall days begin to slip away.

[David Graves]

Herby, I'm still planning on being there for you. I'm still holding down the wheelchair for now, but that shouldn't bother my lead playing. Do you have time slots slated yet? I'm looking forward to such and incredbile line up! "It's like Christmas come early"

[Herby Wallace]

David, it's nice to hear from you and glad you are doing better. I am set to play at 8:45 on Friday night and 3:30 Saturday afternoon. I haven't heard from Rick or Danny, so I hope they can make it too.

See you there,

Herby Wallace

[Jerry Overstreet]

Will any vendors be selling Geo. L's products at the show?

[Gary Preston]

Hi Jerry . What are you looking for in George L products . I am a dealer for them . I am also a dealer for G.H.S. Is Sonny Curtis on this show ,I don't see his name ? G.P.

[Jerry Overstreet]

Just some odds and ends Gary. Like to browse through their displays. Don't really have an order to put in.

As to the player lineup, I know nothing more than what is listed here.

[Gary Preston]

Hi Jerry . What i mostly deal with is cables and ends ,but i do have a complete line of their products they sell . I sell G.H.S. strings but mostly steel guitar strings . G.P.

[DeWitt Scott]

I am looking forward to being in Lexington for the Steel Guitar Classic Show and this being their 25th Anniversary it should be a good show. The line up of players is really great! Somehow I get to start the show off every year at 7:00pm. I will have some new tunes to play for you. I play again on Saturday at 11:15am and you all know that I leave for St. Louis shortly after that. Just to much work to do when I get home. See you there...Scotty

[Eric Davidson]

I cant believe it! I got on the forum hoping to see something going on in KY because I know no other steel players and theres a show in my town!! I am ecstatic! Perhaps I may seem a bit too enthusiastic but i have loved the sound of the steel for several years and only just got a lap in June. I have only met one steel player in the last ten years and cant wait till Nov 5th. Thanks guys, youve just made my night!

[Jerry Overstreet]

They're all over the place in your area Eric. The Central Ky club hosts this big event in November plus 3 smaller regional events south of town out there in the big Brannon Crossing shopping center on Nicholasville Road.

Get to know some of the guys. They will be willing to share info with you.

I may or may not make this show, but if I do I'll look you up and say "Hey". I believe Kayton is playing this show. What a treat. Maybe he'll stop talking long enough to play a few. Just kidding... he's a great orator, likes to share stories, and an even greater musician with impeccable execution and tone.

Lap steel legend Billy Robinson is scheduled to perform also. Prepare to be bowled over by his slants and choke pulls.

[Steven Stewart]

Grate show last year I got my moneys worth thanks!!!!!

[Glyndon Woosley]

I try to make the Fri. night shows. I really enjoy them. Great steel players, back up band and sound crew.

[Curt Eversole]

Looking forward to the Week-end in Lexington with Al and who Attend the show. Haven't missed one in 20 years or more. Great line-up this year.

[Chris Castle]

its almost here guys!!!
are you ready????
im ready to pick and to enjoy some great music!!

this is a killer line up!!!

hope to see everyone there

[Eric Davidson]

Hey everyone, this will be my first steel show. Can I buy tickets at the door or do I buy them online somewhere. I live in Lexington so booking a room is not a concern. Thanks, looking forward to it!

[Jerry Overstreet]

No worries Eric. You can pay at the door. Enjoy.

[Steven Stewart]

Chris you played grate last year tone was good to watch out for the frying pan they can put you on the back burner! fast

[Paul Martin]

I wish I could come up. Marty and the Superlatives will be at the Opry tomorrow nite, then over to Shelby NC. Saturday nite. The folks that put this one on are family! Good luck Al and Uncle Ed!! I see a bunch of my favorites are playing. I am honored to call many of them friends too.

[Jack Stoner]

I'm looking at some pictures from the shows. I'm getting them on my cell phone from one of the attendees.

Most I don't know but I did recognize Ron Elliott and Scotty.

[David Graves]

I hope everyone had a great time. I want to apologize to my good friends Herby Wallace and Denny Barns because I couldn't make the show as originally planned. I've been in a cast from my hip to my toes for a shattered femur for about 7 weeks. Well, they removed the cast Thursday and I'm just not strong enough to do it yet. I started to make the trip but about 20 miles from home I was on the verge of passing out from the pain.. so I returned home. I wanted to be there for such and incredible talent line up and especially to get to play lead for my idol, Herby Wallace, but it wasn't meant to be. I promise to make it next year. If anyone has any pictures or video of any of the acts, I sure would love to see them. Again, I apologize for being a no show at the last minute, but it was just out of my hands. I'm sure the entire weekend was second to none and I look forward to next years show already.

[Eric Davidson]

great time yesterday! Met Kayton Roberts and Billy Robinson (bought a great print of one of his paintings) both are super nice people and were great to talk to. Great Time! Oh and not to mention that they were amazing to watch and hear.
