Kind of a weird title for a post huh? Well I'm still pickin' myself off the floor.
I'm listening to the closing minutes of the
ISGC on steelRadio.com and it has completely wiped me out!!!!!
This broadcast is nothing like I've ever heard in my 59 years. Better than CD quality, well most of it anyway. Man I could hardly tear myself away long enough to go to the bathroom. I thought I'd heard steel guitar before but there's no taking "NOTHIN'" away from any of these guys! They played their hearts out for their peers, the fans and themselves. And that back-up band, ( It's almost an insult to call them that ) should be the Nashville "A" team. I have yet to notice the first miskake in anything I've heard. Such precision and style, it was more like something done in the studio. I can't pick a favorite. No way! I only wish I could have been there.
I'm speechless. I can't say anymore.
So therefore, just "BUTTER MY BEHIND, AND CALL ME A BISCUIT"
THANKS GUYS !!!!

| Sure puts country radio to shame. I especially enjoyed the Canadian connection late last night. [This message was edited by Kenny Yates on 02 September 2001 at 05:03 PM.] [This message was edited by Kenny Yates on 02 September 2001 at 05:04 PM.] |

Towards the end, it was hard to believe that it was a live show, the musicianship and the mix were so good. Only the applause at the end of each tune gave it away - otherwise I would have thought it was a studio recording.
Jeff Newman was better than I've ever heard him. I almost decided to switch to a U-12 after hearing the smooth way he tied all of those "jazz chords" together. What a player.
It was all over way too soon! Just like when I go to St. Louis, I found myself wanting more, MORE!
Congratulations to the technical staff at steelradio.com for pulling off a fantastic live event!

| Not to take anything away from Jeff, but amongst all the rebuffering I thought I heard that he was sharing the last set with Hal Rugg. I'm sure I heard Hal's signature lick from "One's on the Way" at one point during Jeff's set. |
