I'll be there! I wouldn't miss this great show! Save me a slot.

Looks like I'll have to miss this one. Having back surgery next Monday (21 Apr). Hope to make the next one.

Hey Jerry, I'm looking forward to being with this great group of friends both Saturday and Sunday. Bill I'm so sorry that you have suffered so long, and I pray that your surgery will bring the relief that you need.
Sincerely, Bob Strum

I plan on being there.
Save me a spot and my normal table if you can.

Thanks

Jerry--What about calling me, after while?

It will be great to see all of you Steve Walker, Bob Strum and Bill Ferguson. look forward to it. I will call you Steve.
Sorry to here Bill Plemmons is having surgery. Hope all goes well. You are in our prayers.

Can I come out and play?

As always, really looking forward to this show. Lot's of good players, singers and friends. Not enough good things can be said for special guest Joe Wright. Masterful player, great entertainer and soon to be Hall of Famer. This will be a fun weekend.

Hate to hear that Bill Plemmons won't be with us. Mr Bill, let us know how your surgery went and how you're doing. See ya next time.

Surgery went well, working through a couple of post op issues which should clear up momentarily. It will take a lot of physical therapy to regain the strength that I've lost and will be a while before I can carry my push-pull. Best wishes for a super show and am looking forward to the Aug. show

Great to here you are doing well Bill. You are in our prayers for a quick recovery.

Ok everyone it's only two weeks to the show. Please let David Christmas know if you are on the playlist.
Thanks again Hope to see you soon.

if u intend to get in the line up I need to know by sunday as we have lots of things going on. thanks for your cooperation

See ya soon Roger. Ok everybody lets get ready for a great weekend of Steel Guitar and Fellowship. See YA there.

OK, David,
Roger and I will be there!

Looking forward to a great time

David, save me a spot on the bass. I'll be there Sat & Sun. Wayne

Thanks Wayne I look forward to seeing you. Always a pleasure.

Planning to be on the road to SC this afternoon, just last night found a problem with my truck brakes, but hopefully that will be resolved soon. Looking forward to a great time with old friends and making some new ones! Always one of my favorite shows----

I thought I was not going to be able to make this show, but all is good. Roger and I will be there as planned. Yippee

Sounds great Bill glad you can make it. Wendell hope you get your brakes fixed. Jerry

We had a great show, Joe Wright put in another amazing performance as only he can do! Thanks for letting me be there! JS

A great day it was. Everyone picked "super" and there was a larger than average crowd that stayed all day.

We had a jam at the end with Joe Turner, Roger Crawford, Joe Wright, Steve Walker and myself. That was fun.

Thanks to a terrific staff band and to Jerry Reese, David Christmas & Joe Turner for making this show possible.

And thank you Roger Crawford for letting me play that new BLACK Emmons. It is definately a keeper.

Another great weekend at The Southern Steel Guitar Convention. If weren't there you really missed it. The saturday night jam was so much fun. The players were wonderful. Bob Strum, Joe Turner, Joe Wright, Tron Standridge and Bill Morgan. Sunday all the players were superb. And as always Joe Wright put on a great show. His wife Connie did a great job on vocals. Thanks to Terry Rogers on vocals and our MC. The staff band, great job guys. Wayne Smith on bass, Johnny Thomas on lead guitar, Danny Jones on keys and Jerry Reece on drums. Thanks to Roger Crawford for giving me a hand on drums. Thanks to all the steel players. Bob Strum, Steve Alonzo Walker, Ernest Tuttle, Roger Crawford, Bill Ferguson, Duane Regan, John Swain, Joe Wright and Joe Turner. Thanks to Wendell Gurley on vocals and Milt Mounce, great job guys. Hope to see you all again in August. Thanks Bill.

That was a GREAT show! All the steel players played so well and the staff band just played their back ends off-- Joe Wright, as the featured player, was fantastic, and the sweet and talented Connie Wright was the topping on the cake with her angel voice! So many friends were there to share our time Saturday night and Sunday. Thank you Jerry and Joe and all the nice folks at Belvedere for each and every thing you did to make things right for the show. Come on August--
