The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm proud to say that,on New Year's Eve,the 52nd anniv. of the death of Hank Williams,I'll be doin' the Grand Ole Opry w/ his daughter,Jett Williams. She is scheduled to be on the 7 to 8 (central time) portion. It is possible that this will be the televised portion. Dunno yet.

After that,we will be doing the "Midnight Jamboree" from the E.T. Record Shop.

This is quite an honor for me,since I was,& still am,a BIG Hank Williams fan. Even more of an honor is that,I'll be taking Don Helms' place as steeler for this show. <u>I CAN'T WAIT!!!</u> Wish me luck.

Having had the pleasure to hear Smiles-Alot play, the GOO is gettin as good as it gets. We'll have the vcr set just in case. Let us know if it's gonna be televised. Also don't forget to wear the mustache, nose and glasses so we'll recognize you. Good deal Smiley.

Smiles! Thats great! I'll try to stop by and...uh...er....not... .

Seriously, I'm really glad to hear it! I'm playing that night, but I'll definately toast your performance at some point in the evening.

They usually archieve those Midnight Jamboree performances on their website. I'll be sure to check it out when they do.

Smiley, I hope you bought some new pajamas to wear with the money I emailed you. I told you it was "pajama" money and I expect you to show up in the new PJs.
