The Steel Guitar Forum

Just wanted to thank the players and organizers for a great show in Norwalk, CT this weekend. I could only attend Saturday but I heard some great music! The nighttime jam with Russ Hicks, Sid Hudson, and Mike Sweeney was fantastic! Hope someone puts up a few photos. Thanks again!

I had a great time playing in the staff band for this show. The sparse attendance made me think of all the steel players I know who weren't there for any of the three sessions and missed out on some fine music.

What a handsome fellow

Joe Wright's better half !!!!

The show was great this year, I had a great time and was fun meeting old friends and making some new ones.

All the players were great along with the A-list backing band.

I thought Mike Sweeney was at the top of his game, and was really impressed with Sid Hudson. Russ Hicks was his usual great self also.

I really liked Skip Krevens set with pretty much the whole Western Caravan backing him up, and Raphael MacGregor on Lap was really impressive also, glad we had him back again this year.

Fooch's Saturday Night Bluegrass band with Bill Keith was a real treat also, 8 guys altogether coming down from Woodstock to play for us with the great Fooch on pedal steel.

I have a bunch of good pictures to upload but they are way too big to send, does anyone know how to get them to a small enough file to upload. I took them on my Galaxy S4 phone which has 13 mp.

It was also nice having Joe at the show again and happy to see him being inducted in the Hall of Fame.

Hopefully everyone that could not attend will do so in the future, it takes a lot to put on a show of this quality and we are blessed up here to get players of this caliber so close to home. There needs to be a discussion on how to get more people out.

Thanks especially to Bob M. and Jeff DeMaio and the rest of the staff and volunteers at the PSGA for putting on such a great show again.

Yikes, I forgot to thank the band! These guys easily played 8 hours on Saturday and were top notch! Amazing how they could immediately pick up any tune called out.
Thanks!

Jay,
Glad you enjoyed the show and yes, the backup band was phenomenal !
