I assume that tickets can be purchased at the door, rather than purchasing them in advance?

Jack, looks like a winner, very good line up, wish I could come, got that Saturday night gig, If it was Sunday I'd be there with bells on. By the way Phillip is back with us at the VFW in Phenix, city. He's feeling good and enjoying being back into music. Tell Martha hello, and you all have fun, be thinking about you that night, Shorty

Jack...I see one of my favorites is gonna be on the show....Jimmy Powell....man what a smooth player he is, and a great guy, too. Wish I could be there, but it's a long way to come.....have fun and tell Jimmy that Hal sent him a big "Howdy" from LA.

Jim Hartley · Post by **Jim Hartley** » 21 Apr 2010 9:14 am

Hal,

When I saw that you had posted on this thread, I was hoping you were letting us know you would be there. From what I hear about your playing, it would make any show even better. Anyway, what's a few hundred mile amongst friends.

Jim

hal: i will tell mr.powell hi for you, sure would be nice if you and mr.bill stafford could make it. and of course mr. jim hartley makes even me sound good and we are glad that he will be there. also i would like to thank b0b for listing the local newspaper writeup which was front page news in the enterprise ledger in enterprise, alabama.....thanks jack

Hey Ken,

I missed your get together at Jeff's, so I'll just let you buy me a pizza (maybe we'll make it bbq samich) in Opp. Hope everything works out, I'll be looking for ya.

And Jack, looking forward to working with you again.

See ya there,
Jim

Hal Higgins · Post by **Hal Higgins** » 22 Apr 2010 3:46 pm

Jim....thank-you so much for the compliment....I'm humbled by it. Jimmy Powell is a dear friend...and one of the best players around. wish I could make it.....alas....finances just won't allow that at this time....hopefully...in the near future that's gonna change.

Jack....it would certainly be an honor to be there with you and Martha.....I'd love to hear you both again....Maybe sometime soon. Have a great show....and play one for me.

glad to announce that bill and betty stafford will be in opp may 1/st. always great to hear him play and once in a while he lets me play fiddle...thanks jack

Bill Stafford · Post by **Bill Stafford** » 23 Apr 2010 2:25 pm

Sure excited to be invited on this show. These guys really know how to treat everyone. Thanks for the opportunity to be on stage with all the great musicians you have there. My special treat to have Jack Goodson on violin and perhaps Martha would sing a few on my set........This is a good show and for a good cause. Give them all the support possible.

Looking forward to the show and serving that pizza for Jim. We have sold all of the first run of steel amps as well as all of the 4 x10" tweed era amps we have produced. Will be ordering next week and starting production in about 8 weeks on the next run of amps. Will be doing at least 6 of the new 2-12" model as well in that run of amps.

Working on a new tube reverb unit as well. I hope to make in in both a head cab to match the amps and as an add-on for any non-reverb amps.

Look forward to seeing all of you there. We will bring some of the newer kits for N112 and N1000 amps ($49.00 installed at the show). The kit is $25.00 carry out price, you install. Also will have some of the battery-less mod kits. Come on over and we can talk amps and such.

Ken Fox · Post by **Ken Fox** » 28 Apr 2010 5:06 am

Got a N-400 for sale and will bring it to the show as well.

Jim Hartley · Post by **Jim Hartley** » 29 Apr 2010 4:02 pm

Got the car all loaded up, ready to head out in the morning. See ya'll there.
