Sunday, April 15th, Branson Community Center--Ozark Steel Guitar Association Jam/Meeting.
Like always, I'll not comment much here, Jerry Hanley is way better than I at it and he'll chime in with more details and so will others, I'm sure. Soooo---here's some of what my camera saw -----

Vice President, Charlie Steichen, welcomes the crowd at 1 PM.

As always, great back up band : Dino Strunk, Russ Burns and Buddy Lewis.

Steve Melchi

Larry Gerdeman (Larry come in here and tell everyone the story on that beautifully restored push/pull)

Jerry Smythe

Jim Kielblock

Jack Musgrave (A dyed in the wool Bud man playing a GFI ?) -

Like the guitar says --David Dean White

Association Chaplain and entertainer extraordinaire, Jeremiah Hanley

Dino tearing up "Working Man Blues"

Three visitors set in briefly at the start of the second half -- Don Ray on vocals, Danny O'Neal on drums and Joe Willis (nephew of the Willis Bros) on bass and vocals.

Larry and special girlfriend, Delores Lennox, enjoy a dance to the sounds of "Night Life"

Not for me to blab things that I know but---- that ain't a mickey mouse ring on Delores' finger -

looks like there may be one less "Lennox" before long.

Good crowd in spite of tornado warnings for the area.

Lots of comments and additions welcome as always -- Enjoy-

Good to see Dino Strunk. Haven't seen him since we jammed at Andy Acree's New Years Jam in Springfield Illinois in the early 80's

Dino has gotten plumb scarey on that guitar Lyle, no other way to say it --PLUMB SCAREY !!!!! -

If memory serves he was pretty scarey 30 years or so ago.

Hey guys... Sorry I couldn't make it this time. We had a big family get-together last Sunday. Looks like a good time as always.

Bill, I can't say anything better than your exhibit in pictures that you've taken. They are picture perfect and say a thousand or more adequate words! I don't think I've ever seen clearer pictures taken than the pictures you take. Keep up the good work!!
