Haaahaaa! thanks for the advice Roger! On the serious side, I am very much looking forward to the show this year. Bruce & Co. have lined up some awesome steel players and I will get one of the best seats in the house to watch and listen!

I am looking forward to the show again this year. One always sees old friends and makes new ones. I will take part in the Friday night jam again. Sometimes I think I am at my best when something strange gets thrown at me. See you all this Friday night. Ron

Is everybody ready for some R&R this weekend?

should be a hoot. i cant wait to see all my old friends, and make some new ones.
ya never know what russ hicks has up his sleve, and
russ wever just knocked me out last year in the jazz room at scottys..dont forget people this year we have a hall of famer, and the man who is responsible for it all. (SCOTTY) from st.louis coming.
he'll have plenty of learning meterial, and listening too.. see ya all soon

Bruce, Tom and Tom, scarey lineup this year! I feel like an Oreo sandwich cookie, 'cept I'm the cookie with the ham salad center. Mark on one side and Dale on the other. I'll locate the poop-a-seat and fill'er up.
Since I mention fill, is Phil bringing that knocked out Missouri band with him again? If so, Phil, don't forget to bring an extra box of those CD's this time! "ByGod" would have been at this one for sure.

Just a couple more days and I'll be heading that way...the cats out of the bag here in Knashville so I may as well let you know who my special guest is....he's a youngun' who plays a lot of steel (and fiddle)...his name is Robert Rogers and if you haven't heard him you're in for a treat...we've worked up a few duets; you know how I like the twin steels. I'm also excited about the 'boys in the band'...to coin a Charlie McCoy phrase 'them dawgs can hunt'.
See ya'll soon.

The Friday night jam sounds like it's going to be a hoot too.

I'm bringing my bender guitar to try and get a few licks in.

Is anyone attending that can do a little work on a steel? I've been struggling for several months to get the pedal/knee levers adjusted and tuned and perhaps my mechanical ability is not what it should be. The right skill set might take less than an hour to do what I've been trying for months and I wouldn't expect anyone to do this for free. E-mail me if interested (it's a Wilcox SD-10, 3 and 4).

We just got home and Susie and I want to thank the Pickett family and Bruce for the great time this weekend. The players were good and so was the house band. Also I might add that a young gal there by the name of Sarah Simmons was an awesome singer.

Lefty Schrage · Post by **Lefty Schrage** » 27 Apr 2009 7:26 am

Bruce, Tom Jr & Sr, and Jerry --
