I'd like to be the first to second this sentiment.

Playing LT's show for the first time was an experience that is beyond words for me right now. Thank you so much for all the work that you do all year in order to make this happen and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it.

LT is like a father to us all.

God bless you, Leonard

L.T. (short for "Lotsa Trouble" ) is a treasure.

Thanks to all that were involved in this great show.

Not only does L.T. organize and promoto the show, he also plays guitar in many sets.

I took this photo yesterday.

LT. Zinn is such a great guy, loves steel guitar, and a human dynamo. Where does he get all the energy? We are so lucky that LT and Evelyn put on this show every year for us.

I am so glad that I made it there and got to talk to all the guys there and heard all that great Steel guitar music. I got to see my old friend Jerry Hendrix, new Mich HOF member and his wife Sally.

It was a good day.........al.

Thanks to Leonard T. Zinn and Evelyn Whitney for a well organized show. The cash donation to the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame is greatly appreciated. All the player on the show were all great players. The staff band did a great job of backing everyone, which is no easy task, and I especially want to thank Bob Wright for agreeing to join me on stage for my set. We had a good varity of sounds. Pedal Steel and Lap Steel. It's time we went on the road.....Thanks for inviting both Don Curtis and I and I'm proud to say I've been to every one of the Hall Of Fame fund raising shows. Scotty

Well I just got back from Grand Rapids and I must add some comments. I thought that LT and Evelyn did a first class job with this show. I have played several of their shows over the years and they are always great, but I must say that this past Sunday when I played, the band was on and I enjoyed playing as much or more than I ever have. I am always commenting about shows having a good band and I don't mean to run this in the ground, but the band is everything as to how I play. LT being a good musician himself is aware of this and it was great. Every tune I played was exactly the tempo I counted, was in the pocket, feel wise and I really want to thank the musicians, LT and Evelyn for this. They also had a great lineup of players.

Thanks LT and Evelyn for a fun show..the band was so fine, Don c., Ben B.and Frank R.
really made our part easy...I know Herbie is always "on", but he was absolutely BLAZING Sunday...I think he was just working up an appetite for our 'after the show dinner'....we all had a very large time. Thanks also to my good friend Milt Mounce who drove me up to the show from Indianapolis and rendered us all a song off of his new CD. Once again, thanks for a very good time....See ya'll in Chatanooga.

Thanks LT for having me.I enjoyed it very much.

Once again, we thank all of you for being here and playing on our show.
It was a really good day.
We appreciate what everyone contributed to this show.
The staff band was amazing, I can never fully believe what they are capable of.
I want you all to remember that Frank Rogers(who plays lead guitar on these shows) is my eldest son. He plays knock out steel guitar as well and his CD is almost ready for release and this mom can hardly wait for that. A really great talent and a loving son as well. Needless to say I'm very proud of him. A heartful of thanks to all of you
