This is one of the best steel shows that I have ever been associated with. Jimmy Powell is a superb host and a great steel guitar player and he produces a first class show. There are many great players, example on this show, John Hughey and Russ and Laney Hicks and several super players from surrounding states plus a top notch band to work with them. Like Dana said "don't miss it".

I spoke to Jimmy the other day and told him, "Ole Ben and Ms Mickey will be there to see, and hear this one".

Like Roy said, they have a tremendous back up band, and with Roy and Paul in the mix, where could you go wrong.

Callahan's Restraunt serves some kinda great food. The atmosphere is just plain "HOME FOLKS", and we love it every trip we make to Jimmy Powell's shows.

If it ain't got steel in it, It Ain't

Here's a Mississippi BUMP,,,To the top !!!

The Callahan Restaurant is approximately one mile west of SR 71 on SR 20. If you're on highway 20, look for the sign, ( next door to Pizza Hut).
This show is a huge treat, as Jimmy Powell is a "class act" in his own right. Dana Flood will assuredly be playing some kind of vintage Emmons thru a Steel King, producing an enviable tone. Not to mention that John Hughey, Russ and Laney Hicks will be there, AND Roy Rosetta is well enough to return for this show!

Dana you have to stop stealing John Hugheys lick. You will be taking his job if you keep it up.Hey we enjoyed your playing at the Rhiode Island Steel Show this year and hope you make a return this comming show.
Sam White

Hey Jimmy....thanks for the invite....it'll be worth the trip to get to aggrevate Hughey, and of course to see Ben....I sure hope he renders us a song or two.
Hope to see you soon,
Russ

Jimmy we will be there with a car full or 2 with bells on.

ernie

On one condition Russ. If Laney, (you know,, the sweet lady you play steel for) sangs it with me. DEAL ???

Ben O'Dell

Jimmy.....I'm gonna try and make this one. Hope to see you and Ms Olean.....it's been a while......

I hope to be there.This should be a great show with all the great talents that will be there .Looking forward to seeing all of my Steel Guitar friends.Albert

You betcha...be sure to tell Wayne about that strawberry pie !!!! Hughey and Rosetta will be there to eat our weight in it, along with all the other great food that Wayne serves at "The Callahan" . The only thing's that are better than the strawberry pie are the great steel guitarist and musicians that will be playing for all of you that attend the show and with the addition of Russ and Laney along with, the one and only, John Hughey, heck it's the only way to spend a Saturday (February 25th) in Florida.
Jimmy amd Olean Powell are "class" individuals who put on a great show and I'm proud that they ask me and Barbara over each year to be a small part of it.
See yall in Blountstown...

Well Hey Roy !!!!!

I'll second that motion about Jimmy putting on a great show. None better !!!! Bet you didn't know that I call Jimmy, "SMOOTH 2" did you.

Well the reason for that is on account of his talent on the steel. He is "SMOOTH".

One of the greatest folks you'll ever want to meet. Course, Olean keeps the boy straight.

Really looking forward to the show and seeing you and Barb, along with all the other fine folks scheduled on the show. Hey,,,,, don't let Paul forget his clubs.

Ben O'Dell

Bump up this show.

Miss Lana

Jim, everything usually gets kicked off around noon. Remember Blountstown is in the Central time zone.(the time zone changes only 2 miles down the road) This is going to be great!!!!!

Bump to top

I can't hardly wait. I've seen steel players all accross the nation but never been to a steel show. I am very much looking forward to it. The very next day I'm going to the first super jam of ASGA in Montgomery. What a fun filled weekend!

See You'all Soon!
