It is such a wonderful show and great place to play. All the people are wonderful. It is one of my favorite shows to attend for many reasons.

Roger, I think Buck should have a teaching seminar on how to play cajun steel guitar. I would like to be his first student. Don't you think that would be a good idea?

One other thing: Don't miss the Hanley's on Sunday. Last year their program was the high point of the whole trip for me.

Hey Rog, Boy its about here already! I'll be down Saturday morning as I can't get off Friday nite. Count me in for helping in anyway that I can. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again and listening to them play. Lots of good talent. Bro Ray.

Roger, We are really looking forward to your show. Put me down for a camp site again this year. We plan to come down friday afternoon so let me know if we can help in any way.

Keith;Im sure we can get Buck to teach us some things.It would be wonderful to come away from our convention with some information to use.That's one of my pet-peaves with our monthly club meetings,is going home with nothing "NEW" to work on.I'll see if we can work something out with Buck.Ray your room will be ready when you arrive.Look me up when you get here Big Brother.Clovis,your camp-site will be ready for you too my friend.If anyone has a camper trailer or truck camper and would like to bring it to the convention,we have 6 full hook-up sites available at no charge for Friday,Saturday and Sunday nights.Just let me know so I can put you on the list.

Roger,
I am looking forward to the show...hope I don;t have the fiasco that I incurred last year, trying to get there...
Looking forward to seeing and hearing all the great pickers...

RP...'come on in'..

Roger -

Thanks for the invitation, the knee ought to be in good "working order by then" and ready to go. I'm looking foward to seeing everyone again in Siloam Springs. See you there.

John Buffington

Hey guys,, thanks for mentioning the Cajun music. I have to tell you all that I am not qualifyed to teach it as I am not a real cajun player. I just like the Cajun songs and I play them with a Cajun flavor and I have some very good Cajun friends. It's a fun music to play. aheeeeeeeeee

Buck likes that cajun food and music, see you the 23rd.Lavelle<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Lavelle Pierce on 15 March 2005 at 07:26 AM.]</p></FONT>

This is gonna be a great time. Bump to the top.

This is always one of my favorite events of the year. Roger and the gang are so nice and the location is one of my absolute favorites. I don't believe it gets much better than the Ozarks and steel guitar playing. I always look forward to seeing my old friends and making new ones.
