The Steel Guitar Forum

In exactly one month , June 23 and 24 , we will present

our annual Oklahoma Steel Guitar Convention Show . For

the last several years we've met at St James Presbyterian

Church , located at 11970 So. Elm , Jenks , Ok . Jenks is

a Tulsa suburb located just off Hwy 75.....this is a fabulous

facility that has everything needed to host a Steel Guitar

show.....i.e. a wonderful large stage , east access to load

in , lots of comfortable seating , a full service kitchen

a rehearsal room , necessary rooms {bathrooms} , plenty

of free parking . Plan on a weekend of great steel , also

vocals from Oleda Canida and Chasity Jones. There will be

venders , and, for you ladies , Chasity's beautiful table of

jewelry....very fairly priced I might add . Refreshments

available as well . Pres Beverly Harris is working hard

to make certain you have a great time .

The OSGA Executive director of public relations is at it again.

GO Larry

My oh my, who can resist that invitation? I'm locked, loaded and ready to go. My doctor says I should be fine to make the trip. Room booked, dog kennel set up, now all I need to do is drive.

Great news Larry. Looking forward to seeing you.

It will be great having the PR Director playing bass guitar on my set. How could I turn down my adopted cousin?

Paul, I believe that the bass is the most important member of any band. You can do without any other instrument, but try playing without a bass player.

And we have one of the BEST.

I sure agree with you on this Rick.

Kind words boys.....I appreciate it. A friend of mine .

a smart man I might add , pointed out that the Steel

Guitar is an icing instrument that requires a cake to

ice....the cake builders are guys like Mike McGee ,

Jeff Culver , Kevin Jones , bass players, drummers,

vocalists etc who build the foundation of support .

Now , we need your attendance....that's your part

in the support system . June 23/24

We will take back every nice thing we have said, if you ever call either of us Cupcake.

I am truly honored to have been invited to play in this year's show. Great staff band w/ some awesome steel players. Can't hear any better in Nashville (imo).

I'm excited to hear Rick Eaves' set . Thanks to Rick

I met Jeff Culver whom I call my newest best

friend . Those of you who were at the TSGA in

March heard an awesome rendition of Danny Boy

Played by Sarah Jory . Sarah excused the band

and kept only Jeff on keys and he did one heck

of a job backing her . I'll go on record saying

it was absolutely fantastic and could not have

been played better . So thank you Rick Eaves

for introducing Jeff to us . Now , back to Rick

he is an impeccable talent.....at ease on both

necks and plays flawlessly . Add to that Rick's

a believer and a mighty fine guy . Do not miss

hearing Rick Eaves , hands down one of the areas

finest....a finesse player and commander of his

instrument . Be there
