Just confirmed that Tugboat Jerry will be on hand both days to help us show respect for the artists that have paid salaries to the players over the years.

Larry, this is a great show. Jean and I played it a few years ago and loved it. Have been trying to get back, but it just hasn't worked out. Mr. Stafford is a great host.

I want to get to this show if I can. Got a bunch of things going on right now so it's iffy. Thanks for the tip Larry Baker.
