The Steel Guitar Forum

From the lack of posts on the forum I guess everyone went to the convention. Amazing to see 5-8 posts on a topic on the 4th.

Also no pictures this year, bumer.

Here is hoping that Wayne Franco has a PP he bought at the convention.

Larry Behm

I'm home, no ISGC for me, due to other commitments.

I already have my Dallas reservations.

I didn't go because my wife doesn't give a **** about the steel guitar and wasn't about to turn me loose in St Louis by myself.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Billy Henderson on 05 September 2004 at 08:10 AM.]</p></FONT>

I'm down south visting the guys who stayed in Austin. But I'm watching

Hey Billy, I think that's one of the best I've heard in a long time.

I have not been since 1991. Lack of funds here as well. It just costs too much to support a family these days, however I do make some of the Texas Show. I have tried to listen in but the buffering takes too much time and keeps going on and off. I am sure everyone is having a great time and they should be.

I was going until a guy called "Francis" decided to pay us a visit. We can't move my 94 year Dad who is ill so we are riding it out. And it's a wild ride.

Billy Henderson,
How expensive would it be to just turn that wife loose permanently? <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Kip Kelly on 05 September 2004 at 04:04 PM.]</p></FONT>

I would like to see billy poteet play at convention next year people would really be impressed frank harris

Well divorce would be most expensive and the second option.

My friend Terry Wilson went through the same thing and wrote a song about it. It goes in part . . .

I just lost everything a man can lose
my wife my home and almost every dime

Janice - You may be "down south" in Austin, but you're still a 5 hour drive north of me!

Texas is a big ol' state!

Billy,
I had to work so I could not go, but my wife would be glad to get rid of me for a few days.

Have you'll had your show yet?

Mike

I just rolled back in home a few hours ago. We didn't stay for the Sunday wind-up, but it was a great show Friday and Saturday, and I'm sure my leaving didn't change anything. I don't think anyone went home disappointed. Attendance might have been slightly down, possibly due to weather and a couple of other factors, but the room was nearly packed several times through the weekend. Wouldn't take a forty dollar mule for the experience!

Mike Hoover: No show yet I have tried and tried but no takers in AR. They are planning one in LA for November but I understand it is for Lousiana folks only.

Sorry to have missed St. Louis myself, but I managed to break my own record, and joined and rehearsed with two new bands in one day today... so it was worth staying home!
