Mike,

I plan on being there. Do I have to learn new songs? Just kidding!

I really hope to see all the past (and new) steel players and steel enthusiast at our Aug 3rd jam. E.R. Chandler, Kevin Robbins, Mike Calaway, and all the others that have worked so hard to provide us a place to play our music, socialize with our musical friends, and just have some good old Saturday fun together. Everyone come and bring a friend and lets fill the "house-up" with steel guitars, and steel guitar fellowship. Please add your name to the list (as Glen did), the more that sign up makes it even more appetizing for the others to come and join us.

Hello to all! I'm sorry I can't be at this jam. My wife's birthday and her grandson's birthday on Friday and Saturday so I need to be with them. I love all you guys and wish I could be there to personally thank you for all the prayers and support during the sickness and recent death of our Father. He always loved to go with us to this event as well as his wife Mrs. Beulah! Sure gonna miss them and miss being at this jam. Please continue to remember me and my family in your prayers. Please tell Mr. Arnett Mills that this does not mean I'm giving up my spot beside him at the next jam!! Maybe I will have time to learn a few new songs by then as well! Hope to see you all again soon!!

Only three days until the big event, hope everyone can make it. Drive safe, and lets have a great jam.

Just wanted to say thanks to E.R., Kevin, and all the great pickers that came out last Saturday to the MASGA jam. Also a great big thank you to all the "listeners" and "guest" that came out to support our cause, without you there would be no show or jam. What a great band we had with Bob, Jim, and Wayne. Don't forget to go out this coming weekend to Belvedere SC and enjoy these guys steel guitar jam as well. See everyone next time!

Allen
