I too am really looking forward to this show. It has become one of my favorites. The folks with the Southern Illinois Productions have really learned what it takes to organize, and run, a great venue for steel guitar. The crowd loves it, the players love it, and the SIP donates a substantial amount of money at the end of the show to the Shriner's Hospital.
So, it looks like a WIN, WIN, WIN for everyone.

I hope you can make it to the show. You won't regret it.

Always a great show. We look forward to this show all year. Won't be long now...

Yes, there is a camp ground about 3 blocks west of the show, just across from tractor supply. Lynn and I will be back to Illinois by then, my last show for the season is the 13th, and then we are leaving for home and the great steel guitar show from S.I.P. can't wait to see ya all there.

This is my first year at this show. Looking forward to it. I will be on the show Friday at 10:35am.See you there. Paul

Thanks to all who have asked if we was going to the show. Due to an upcoming surgery on Jeans back, we didn't feel She could make the trip to Mt. Vernon, so we won't make it. Also, many thanks to Larry Dolan who asked me to share his set with me. Much appreciated Larry..also thanks to Roger Crawford. We will miss not being there. Hopefully next year will be a better year for us. Larry and Jean
