Play times subject to change.

Thanks Ray for my time slots, that will work perfect for me. we are really looking forward to seeing everyone, take care & God Bless. Jerry & Dee F.

Wow I follow the other old gummer!!! Can't wait to see my buddy Jerry F.

Ray that is a very well rounded schedule, kinda like me, "well rounded"
Seriously, I know how much work it is to put a show together and I just want to thank you buddy for all your hard work.

Its gonna be a great weekend, all the way from the river party on Thursday to the last note Marty Neer hits on Sunday afternoon.

I encourage everyone that can, to make it to this show, its a goodern. God bless and drive careful.

Ray I forgot to mention, you'll need to reserve a place out front for the Paramedics to park their truck.
When Keith and Mike lock horns I'm afraid ole Keith is going to need lots of bandages and some looken after.

Fred, the police station is only a block from the show and my nephew is a policeman. I've got the duel covered and I view history being made in Baxter Springs. Ray

Thriller in Manilla, Rope A Dope, Fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee! If I do win this contest Mike, may I call you Mikey Boy? Fred, have a little confidence in me,the songs will be about divorce,cheating,drinking,and she done me wrong.

This is gonna be a show to remember!!! Can't wait!!!

Hey Keith, which one of these is yours buddy?

Jerry, I know you wanted me to work with you on your set but I've decided since I wasn't invited this year, It's just not feasible for me to come. Thanks for your confidence in me. You have a great time and tell everyone hi.

Ray, Lee, and everyone connected to this great Show. We are so happy to be here, Can't wait to see the battle of the E9th tunings...Thank the powers that be that they have put me on much earlier. Granny and I are looking forward to a great playoff.....Sorry Keith, but I have been a Mike McGee fan since I heard him play the Lord's Prayer in KC 3 years ago...
No one will lose at this because what we do, there can't be any losers....Too much fun....See you there!!

Keith, be sure to get a good Ben-Gay rubdown before the rumble. You want to be loose and mentally acute so try and get a power-nap in the parking lot at least an hour before your match. Try to keep Mike off the C6th neck and if he gets you tied up against the ropes, slip some "Mooney and Emmons" styles in to get the crowd and judges on your side. I doubt if you win this one but I would like to see it go to a decision if you are able to go a couple of rounds without throwing in the towel.

We will be leavin AZ a week from today.

This is a great show ---- lots of great players --- great friends ------ great fellowship ---- great food.

Just a great time all the way around.

Fred, I would like the gold one on the left. When Mike and I lock horns--I am not expecting to get any of my horns torn off. Dick, Mike and I have been the best of friends for many years. But as they say--In love and war! It will be a war when we lock horns--I guarantee it. Now Ricky boy, I figured you would put your money on Mikey boy. Instead of Ben Gay I may bring some Preparation H, just in case someone needs it. This is all E9th Rick, I already know Mike can eat me alive on C6th. You said to resort to Mooney and Emmons. Emmons was Mike's hero, so that won't work. Throwing in some Mooney might work. Rick, I guarantee I won't be going down in a couple of rounds. I will be upright picking my steel for a solid 30 minutes. Rick, you heard that pecan colored Emmons Guitar I played at the Branson Show. Mike will need to strap on a seat belt.

Keith I don't know if either one of those will fit Mike, he has so much hair.

On a serious note, its getting close folks.
Joe Naylor is going to pick me up at 5:00 AM Monday morning and we'll be on our way.
I get a break from driving on this trip and that's gonna feel rather strange since I'm used to driving on all the trips I been on.
Were coming back a day early this year to spend a little quality time with Mike & Mary McGee.
I don't get to see my buddy as often as I have in the past, so were gonna fix that.

I've had several people email me about the river party on Thursday afternoon.
Looks like were gonna have just a great time down by the river side. everyone is welcome.

Well you all drive safe getten there, see ya soon.

Maybe I will be way over there Fred at 5 or so - more than likely or so with my record

I think that is about half way to Baxter

Joe

Wasn't planning on coming but we haven't seen our Baxter friends in a while so thought we would stop by and say howdy......

You and Teresa are always welcome. Glad you are going to be here.
Lee

Looking forward to seeing you two!!!

steelseats has a new product (two posts on Joe Naylor facebook )

Tube Preamp - This unit is handmade and hand-wired. The low noise circuit utilizes a Darlington preamp to push cascaded triode vacuum tubes into distortion. This unit utilizes dual triode vacuum tubes, which provides a warm bloom sound. Tubes can be swapped to create a wide range of tones. A boost switch provides an additional layer of flexibility with added gain and a little extra bottom end. An LED indicator lights up when the pedal is engaged and not in true bypass mode. 9VDC Power Supply included (no battery option included due to the considerable current required)
Available in different configurations vertical Knob and switch for Steel-Amp or horizontal conventional switch and Knobs on top for floor / effects box.










size 4.6 length x 3.6 wide x 1.3 high weight 0.9 lbs

This is of course the prototype.

Looks interesting Joe, I can't wait to try one out at the show.

By the time we get to the show I will have some memory sticks with some samples on them to allow people to hear the difference.

I have tried it with guitars and steel guitar, etc.

It gives you that warm tube sound and it is adjustable.

Fred, I heard though the grapevine Mike Magee is getting really nervious about locking horns with me. I hope he doesn't resort to drinking "tuning fluid" to settle his nerves. Someone told me when my name was mentioned, he saw Mike pump his 2nd pedal 15 times in a row quickly. I guess he is trying to learn some Ralph Mooney stuff before the show down! He also said Mike was talking real fast in a high pitched voice when a guy ask him about him locking horns in Baxter Springs.

Ray, I have been having health issues for about three months and just learned today that I will be having surgery next Thursday morning. Because of this it is necessary that I cancel my appearance on your show. I am sorry to have to do this and I hope you will understand and let me come next year.
Jerry

Jerry, sorry that you can;t make it to the show. Wishing you the best with your health issues. See you next year. Ray
