Benton, Il at the Civic Center, April 20 - 22. Maybe even 4/23. It's the Southern Il SG show. Don Helms and Ron Elliot will be in the house among other great players. Come on down! You'll be able to pick up Ron's new CD - Most Requested and I believe Don may have his new one - Don Helms Tribute to Hank Williams - ready then too.

Hope to see you there!

Miss Lana

We will have the Nashville guys up here again to back the featured players. As soon as it is known who they will be, I'll let you know. Don Curtis will be joining us again this year as well. This show is really shaping up to be a "really great shew".

I love this show. I never miss it now. This year it's on my 40th birthday and that's where I'm gonna be to celebrate. I sure hope more people come to Benton, IL to check out this show. Real cool, spacious room, good sound, great band, great players, very relaxed environment, tons of fun. It's pretty easy to get to as well. Right there off I-57 in Southern Illinois. Don't miss it.
