The Steel Guitar Forum

The March 4 San Antonio Steel Guitar Jam Session was a great success. Roger Edgington, Dave Goodman, and Owen Barnes played pedal steels and Mark Mosely and Reggie Amos played non pedal steels.
Kenneth Piper played fiddle, guitar, bass, and vocals( he was one tired but happy man when this was over), Nancy Kozur on fiddle, Brian Folks on drums, with Mark Mosely filling in on rhythm guitar and Jim B. on lead guitar. Roger Edgington and Dave Goodman both filled in on bass. Owen Barnes and Kenneth Piper and Dave Goodman all performed the vocals. A big "Thank You" to the Converse American Legion for their facilities. The lunch sold was excellent hamburgers or brats.
Our next jam session will be April 1,2012(no foolin) again at the Converse American Legion in Converse, Texas...2 pm - 5 pm....Thanks go to Brian Folks and Kenneth Piper for their help in making the jams successful..jr

Thanks Joe for making these Jams in San Antonio, TX. bunches of fun to participate in. Also every out there on the Steel Guitar Forum say a "Big Prayer" for Joe Rouse as he just had Surgery today 03/19/2012 about 12:00 noon...I talked to his lovely wife Sylvia just after he went into Surgery and again this afternoon after he was recovering in his room, she said he was in a lot of pain and was going to have a rough night...he had Knee Surgery...Let's all Pray for Joe that he has a "Speedy Recovery"...

Me too, Joe!! Hope all is going well, and I appreciate all you've done to bring "like minded" people together.

Wish I'd known about these jams when I lived in Seguin a few yrs. back.

Well I swore I'd bring my stuff this time but I'm taking an exam the day before. My chores may need to shift to Sunday. If I miss it, I hope someone does Jail House Rock again...

Hi Everyone, well I did get to talk with Joe Rouse today and he is going to be released from his Rehab. tomorrow, Thursday 29th of March...Joe told me that he would be able to make it to the Jam on Sunday April 1st, he will be strolling in his wheel chair, but he said if the "good lord is willing and the creek don't rise" he will be there...Let's all try to make it if possible and support our "Great Jam in San Antonio"...We always have a "Great Time"...Hope to see all of you there...Brian Folks

I plan on attending for the first time.....just hope I don't embarrass myself real bad.

Sure hope Dave Goodman will have his ne Justice guitar ther!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I can't be there this time around guys. Leaving Sunday to take a round trip to New Orleans, and up to Memphis! I will definitely miss seeing all my great friends at the area jam. Maybe when I see ya'll next time around, I'll be able to play some "blues" or "dixieland" on the steel! (Dixie Land on the steel...now there's a thought)

Hey Mike and Owen,
Mike please do not worry about your playing level. The jam sessions are to help us play with others and learn from others. You're going to do just fine.
Owen, we hope you have a great trip and look forward to you being back in May...jr
