John Ely is a great steel guitarist who will be playing daily at the convention. 8) John has a true Hawaiian touch and playing professionally in Hawaii for a number of years certainly helped. Living in the environment of Hawaiian music gives one a special feel for it.

Everyone who is within 500-1000 miles should be coming to this convention. It is a great opportunity to hear a master and hear him present at the seminar. :idea:

It is now just a little over a month. Can't wait. It is always a great time.

Aloha, :)
