Hello Everyone,
It's that time again for another great show. Please let David know for the players lineup. Also Mike Sweeney has posted a topic about the seminar on Sat. 14th. So please let him know if you are to attend. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. We are working on our 25th Year in Feb. of 2012. It will be our 100th show.

Thanks, Jerry Reece

I regret to say that I will be unable to make this show. Be sure to come out and hear Mike Sweeney as he is an excellent steel player. Also, be sure to come to his seminar on Saturday. Of course, there will be many other good steel players on the show too, so it will well be worth making.

Herby Wallace

I just wanted to say how much Teresa and I are looking forward to being in Saluda again this year. These folks put on a great show and they really know how to make you feel welcome! We're sorry to hear that Herby won't be able to be there. We always look forward to seeing him and his lovely wife, Bunny.

Come on out and have a great weekend with us!

Thanks Jim, It is alway a pleasure to get to work with at Saluda and many of the other shows.

Herby Wallace

Me and Sweeney worked together, years ago. He's a good guy, good steel player, and I'm sure he's a good teacher. Help the Shriners help others, and plan to attend.

So glad that Mr. Herby will be there! Couldn't imagine not hearing him and seeing him in Saluda!

Can't wait guys and gals and i'll have a treat for you with "Mandy Addy" and "The Diving Horses" picken a few for ya!

See ya there!.....km

It's almost time to start packing up. Teresa and I are really looking forward to being in Saluda again. I'm glad to see that Herby will be there as well. Thanks for all the kind words guys.

The seminar will be starting at noon on Saturday so bring your guitars and join in!

Jerry, Roger C and I plan on being there.

I sent David an email, but have yet to hear back from him confirming me a spot to play.

Bill Ferguson

Yep, I'll be on the bus headed for Saluda! David, let me know if you have a slot for me. It's always good to catch up with all the friends that show up to have a good time.

David, I can't make it Sat. but I'll be there Sunday. Please plug me into the schedule somewhere if you can.

Bill

David, I can't make it Sat. but I'll be there Sunday. Please plug me into the schedule somewhere if you can.

Bill

I planned on being there but a previous family committment means I'll probably have to wait until November. I was going to attend Mike Sweeneys seminar on Saturday but I guess I lose out again. Have a great time.

Bill Nicholson here. Roger Crawford, Bill Ferguson and I plan to carpool over this Sunday. Bill F. is driving so hopefully we will get there relatively early ....Bill F. likes to leave Ga. before 7:30am. Long day for us after Sat. nite but we always enjoy seeing our friends in Saluda.

It looks like a great lineup shaping up for Sunday, with some of the hot pickers from Hot-lanta coming. Now, if we can just get Bill Cunningham and Tommy Dodd...

Roger, you always have a slot at Saluda. I have recieved everyone's response and I really appreciate all of the players coming out and helping support this event that Charlie and Buddy worked so long and hard to keep it going. Thanks again and looking forward for another great show, David

Hmm David,
Only a slot for Roger? How about the 2 Bill's from Atlanta? hehe

Cya Sunday

Hey Jerry/David

As you would figure with bands there is always issues!

Sorry but the guys i pick with can't make it sunday!
The singer has a family issue in Charleston and the bass player has to finish a construction job this weekend!

Oh well, that's "Show Biz"!!!

If you still want me there i'll come but if you need my space for some other players that's fine!!!!

Thx....kenny

It's great to see all the support for the Shriner's and the Southern Steel Guitar Convention. Thank You so much. We always have a spot for everyone. It's going to be a great time and don't forget the seminar on Sat. See you there.
