Please direct inquires to Marie Bell, as I don't have any more info at this time.

I would dearly love to be there. Would Joe and Steve consider coming to Alberta?

Hey, all you guys that are close to where Joe will be doing his seminar - you should make arrangements to attend. Joe is fast becoming one of the US most active players conducting seminars. Joe is certainly a master of the steel and everyone will learn and benefit from his teachings. One more thing, even if you are not close to the seminar it would be worth your while to make the long drive! Scotty

I've attended JW's seminars long ago (back at the turn of the century) at LT's Grand Rapids Shows. I still benifit from what I learned there.

Wow, having BOTH Joe and Steve on the bill is outstanding. Wish I could get there for it. I know when they play together, the fireworks are gonna be Hot!

Steve has a solo CD, produced by Joe.
Of course there's Steel on it, also by Joe.

Steve also has an instructional Tele DVD, five camera angles, also produced by JW.

Andy, Jeff Bradshaw had Joe out here a few years ago - regrettably I was out of town at the time. (Jeff has also had Doug Jernigan out a couple of times).

If you have a chance to attend these seminars, jams etc..., do so!

These guys are some of the best musicians around! Regards! Bob

Just heard about Joe and Steve doing their thing..What an oppertunity to learn from the best...I understand that only the choosen few will reap the rewards so get your name in P.D.Q. and enjoy

I'm making the trip from Newfoundland.

Joe, About how long a drive from NJ would it be? thanks bob

Nine Hours Bob. I can drive to NYC in about 8, the seminar is an hour from me.

Basically you take 81 North to the NY Sate Thruway West to Niagria Falls, cross into Canada and drive another hour and a half toward Toronto.

Thaks alot Joe, Maybe i can round up someone around here to make the trip with. Thanks again bob

Joey, how far is Whitby from Hamilton? Thanks. I'd drive up from the Pa. state line for this.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 28 October 2005 at 11:44 AM.]</p></FONT>

Try http://www.maps.google.com for details.
Search for Whitby, ON.

Hamilton, Toronto, and Whitby are all cities along Lake Ontario.

Hamilton to Toronto is about a 45 min drive.
Whitby is only about 10 minutes from Toronto's east border.

It sure would be great to see some of you folks there.

BUMP!

Are there any other forumites attending this seminar?

bump?

I'll be there.

Me too. I've studied with JW several times before.

Only a week away.

I'm really looking forward to this. I've got all my travel plans in place, getting into Pearson airport from Newfoundland @ 9:15 AM, renting a car and booting it to Whitby for the seminar....should be high adventure.
I'm looking forward to the Bob Lucier show in Waterdown Sunday as well. In Newfoundland, we don't get to hear and see many steel players, let alone study with a great one like Joe Wright. This will be my first time attending such an event.

3 Daze!

Hey Joey,

How far is Whitby from Pearson airport?

I'd figure an hour from Pearson, Chris, give or take 15 minutes. Just straight east on the 401. Wish I could be there with you guys.
