Jam session with Ron Symak and friends.
Ron played the Super event last year and we had to get him back!!!

I was fortunate to get invited to a jam session with Ron at The Justice steel guitar factory. Let me tell you he is one great player. He's bringing his bass player and drummer with him that were at the jam session. They all play great and they want to jam so anyone that wants to pick after the show bring you steel and join them. They also played the Texas show and they were fantastic.The jam will start as soon as the regular show is over.
I'll be there will you??????

It looks like a hoot of a time in Branson Mo. at the steel guitar shows The 26th & 27th & 28th of July. I am really looking forward to seeing all my picking friends.see you There. Jerry & Dee F.

Really looking forward to this great show. It is always a great one. Want to thank Terry for including me again this year. AND of course, the very beautiful and talented Jean DeVore will be there with me. Larry Baker

I'm very excited about playing this year. I am honored to have Junior Knight joining me on my set.

This is gonna be ALOT of fun...so come on down and support this fine steel guitar club...I can't wait to see everyone and enjoy some GREAT God given talent on the steel guitar!! GREAT band..great fellowship sooooooooooooo...lets GET-UR-DONE!!

Its great to see Buck Grantham's name come up. I was getting worried..........Larry

Just another one of my screw ups,
He's on the list now,TWICED
Terry

ttt

For those of you that don't know, I had to go into the wittness program, and so I changed my name from Dave Flanagan to Mike Flanagan. Shhhhhhhhh Terry needs his sleep

Mike, glad you're coming in from Illinois to play for us . See you there. Larry

Well now you've done it. You have got me more confused than normal. Are you Mike or Dave??, either way bring that other Terry Guy With you. Because if I remember right that was not his stage name when we both lived in Las Vegas.

Terry Bethel
Pres OzSGA????????

Terry, I think it's Michael David????
Is it Tuesday yet!!!!!!!

Well I sure am looking forward to this weekend. It's a very good feeling to be surrounded by so much talent. Saw a clip of Terry Bethel playing his steel guitar at the Grand Ole Opry with Mel and it sure was an inspiration. Our association here in Branson is one of the greatest organizations I've ever belonged to and I've gotten more enjoyment out of it than any other. This weekend will prove to be no exception. Jerry and Venda Hanley and Charlie and Rosemary Steichen are tireless in their efforts to plan and put on a great show. Thanks guys! Bill Myrick is indispensible with his knowledge and camera. Thanks Bill! My hope is that everyone has as enjoyable time as I always do. I've got a feeling that this show will be one of the best. Don't miss it.

Buddy, will you have your upright with you Friday? My son wanted to know if you would let him play yours as we don't really have room to bring his.
Lee

Lee - I won't have it with me this weekend. No place to put it without damaging it. I'll be using my pickup and pulling the trailer with the PA and speakers and stuff. Those are pretty delicate instruments as you know and I don't have a hard case for it yet (expensive).

Thank you anyway Buddy. What time does the music start Friday?

Starts at 2pm Lee

Terry, what time is the show Sat and Sun

I have playing jobs Friday and Saturday nights so Terry is giving us a Sunday slot. (Thanks Terry). I have 5 new CD's that Jerry Newberry will have on his table starting Friday. Please buy one or two are more from Jerry. We are donating $2.00 from each CD sold to the Ozark Steel Guitar club so you will be helping a needy family (mine) and the club as well. Most of my songs on the CD's are using tracks I leased from Mike Headrick in Nashville done by Nashville musicians and backing on my CD's is first rate. Steel playing is just me....but I hope you like them.
Jerry

Looking forward to being there Saturday to hear some great playing! My plans for Sunday are totally up in the air. Been craving some Steel lately! My pastor and music mentor Lowell Lundstrom passed away last week and he is the one that introduced me to the sound of the steel guitar with his steel player Bill Simmons..So ya ive been thinking alot about the Steel lately..CANT WAIT!

Terry Bethel has done a lot of work lining this up and this is going to be a great show!

Thanks for letting me be a part of it. See ya'll Sunday afternoon.
