Thanks Joe, Got reservations and ready to go. Looking forward to attending, Jim

We had a big jam yesterday and a board of directors meeting about the show.

Great news we have signed contracts for the seam location and same weekend through 2016.

We have lots of great players committed and several more that are checking or changing their schedules and are 99% committed.

Several siminars - Saturday there will be a non-pedal siminar followed by a non-pedal show going on at the same time the main stage is going on.

We go from 9 AM to Midnight all 3 days and more info will be coming out soon.

We also have lots of great raffle items plus silent action items and lots of great vendors committed.

Lookin' forward to it.

It was -58F with wind chill here a few days ago. Thank goodness the power didn't go out.

Count me as a tentative...need to find a good herd-sitter while I'm gone.

And you guys live there why????? I could not resist but it is cold here for us but 100 "warmer than Tom" 42 this AM but it will warm up soon.

Sorry they got me "up north once" and that was 3 1/2 long winters.

Happy to be in Phoenix

Joe

Joe,Is there some sorta shuttle bus from the airport that I can catch?

The short answer is YES but I will get back to you on the details.

Please email me your arrival info on my private email.

Thanks I will put more on the forum when details are all work out.

Joe,will do!Thanks my friend!

We can still use some sponsorships - if you know of anyone that might want to be a sponsor they can email me for the info.

If you want that is great. We have several levels and many levels come with tickets to the show.

my email is joe.naylor@att.net

Yes we have corporate sponsors like Gretsch. They have donated a lot of equipment and "swag" - and we have personal sponsors that make a donation in memory of someone - plus some that simply donate to help out. Remember we are an Arizona Not-for-profit organization so the donation is 100% deductible.

Thanks for your consideration

A bump for the SWSGA. Looking forward to another fun filled weekend in Phoenix!

It's going to be another great show. The SWSGA show is becoming one of the premier shows on the Steel Convention circuit. I have had the pleasure of attending the very first show when Hal Rugg, Jeff Newman and others kicked this thing off with the help of the folks who are keeping it going. I have not missed a show since. This show not only gets the best pickers from the rest of the USA but includes players from the west coast that are not seen too far east. I will be working with John Hench again this year doing monitor mixing for the stage. I get a ring side seat and enjoy every minute of it.

Looking forward to seeing YOU this year in Phoenix.

Doug, you are right on!! We appreciate all the help you have been to us since day 1. It will, indeed, be a great show. You will not want to miss this one!

I need some ideas for what to play in my part of the show. (something off the beaten path)

How about something exotic like King Paris plays.

King WHO?

Psychedelic!
