I think it would be great if everyone who is planning on going would simply list your name here.
There are so many I want to meet, and I'm sure a lot of you feel the same.

I have to say Bill Ferguson and his lovely wife Linda are main stays at the ISGC. I have no idea how many years they have been there but it's always nice to walk in the hall and see them there. Bill is a great player and I would like to see him play on the show. Maybe we can work that out. Bill, Thanks to you and your lovely bride Linda, for all that you do for music and the steel guitar. You are a jewel. Loveya guys, Bobby PS, My Linda says "HI".

Thanks for the kind words Bobby. We feel the same about the two of you.

Regretfully, Linda will not be able to attend this year. Someone has to stay home and make us some $$ :roll:

Now to answer your question, I have not missed a year since I started in 1976. Joined the sound team with Hollis Calvert & Doc Stewart in 1979. Started handling the video in 1989 till we stopped videoing.

Now please email me with your current email address. I sent you an email and it bounced back.

Your pal,
Bill
PS: Yep, some day I would love to play the show. That to me would be better than playing the GOO which was always a dream of mine.
But I decided early on not to go professional. I wanted to keep my business and my wife :D

I'll be there with my brother Tom. This is his first ISGA but I bet it won't be his last. We're both looking forward to seeing some of our "Heros".
Bobby C is on top of our list. Bush & Buddy are up there too. I can't wait!

YES.. just re-confirmed the Milennium ROOM confirmation and just purchased two AIRLINES tickets which dropped by 50% from Charlotte to St Louis direct ! WOW ..!

Priceline.com , not the "you name your own price" section, was cheaper than Travelocity by $10 each as well...

Same exact flights, same Airline......

Count us in...
