I'm looking forward to this great show! It will be my first time and surely not my last! I've always heard nothing but positive comments about the show and the fine people that attend. It's always good to meet new friends of the Steel Guitar! See you there!!!

Wow! Now that's a line-up of some great steel players right there! I sure want to come and hear all the great steel music. These guys always light up a crowd! If you have never attended one of these jams you will have a wonderful time especially if you like to hear a steel guitar!! Looking forward to seeing steel guitar friends and to the fellowship that goes with it! Arnett save me a sit beside you! I want another lesson like you gave me the last time I was beside you!!

looking forward to it, it's been a few years for me but I will come by and say hello for sure...

Thanks to ER and Kevin, looking fwd to being there, You steelers from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and all points come and join us, will be a great time.

Coming also - if you can put up with my playing! Maybe Ray will bail be out!

Hey Friends,

It's been awhile since I've done this show, really looking forward to getting back to NC. Plus, I get to work with Mitch Snow and one of my very favorite bass players, Steve Alonzo Walker. By the way folks, Mr Walker is one fine steel guitar player also, worked the road as steel player for a lot of years with several Nashville artists. Then on top of that, Arnett, Joe, Sid and all the other fine players scheduled, looks like we're in for a big time. Can hardly wait. See ya there.

Okay, time for all of you to plan on coming to join us for a day of "STEEL GUITAR" and fellowship. Thanks to ER for putting this jam on for all of us, he truly is a dedicated member that works hard for all of us. So do your part, come out and support this "LOVE" that we all share in music and steel guitar.

Come on guys, post it on here that you are coming, we want to know that you are coming to join us, we need each and every one of you to make it a success.

The last two jams I've either had a personal conflict or a health issue preventing me from attending at the last minute.

I plan on being there this time. I'm trying to encourage a couple of members of my band to come and listen.

It sure wouldn't hurt them to hear some real steel players for a change.

We welcome your band members to come and join with us. The more the merrier.

Everyone is welcome to come out and join in the fun.

Really wish I could make it to what would be my first PSG jam, but unfortunately I'll just be returning from South America on Saturday afternoon. Please keep having them and hopefully I can make the next one.

Just bumping this to the top in case anyone missed it.

Come on guys and gals, it don't get any better than this line up:

FEATURING ARNETT MILLS, JOE TURNER AND SID HUDSON at this Jam.

Be sure to come out and join in on all the music and excitement this coming weekend.

I believe you need to add an "S" to Arnett's last name. He's one of my favorite players and no matter where he plays he always get the best tone of anyone there with Joe Turner a very close second. Might be those old Marlen guitars they both play.......JH in Va.

Hope to see all the Steel Guitar players and enthusiasts out this Saturday to enjoy the great convention with the MASGA. So bring your steel guitar and lets play.

Just wanted to tell all how much I enjoyed the convention. Nice to see everybody and get to hear you guys play. A lot of great talent in that room to enjoy listening to and talk to. Thanks to all who made this event possible and I look forward to seeing you all another time. Arnett, it was great to see you on that stage. I enjoyed your playing and look forward to hearing some more of that Marlen again soon! You guys are awesome!! Thanks for a great time!!
