I would like to thank "Herby Wallace" and all the steel players that showed up to make our Jam a success!! It was our very 1st one. The music was just out of this world! We learned a lot and will make some changes with all the suggestions that came forward that will help make the next event even better. These (13) Steel Players performed at the MASGA-JAM Joe & David Turner,Bryan Adams, Arnett Mills, Jerry Flemming,Mike Calaway,Deloris Simmons, Wayne Minter, Steve Leonard,Jimmy Brown,Eddie Shoemaker,Larry Jenkins,Skip Mertz. There were many other steel players in attendance to enjoy all the best music in the world.
Thanks Again Ken Latchum

I would just like to say that I really enjoyed being a part of this first show. I thought Ken and Skip did a great job putting it together. I got to jam with several players that I have known for years, but never had the chance to hear play and they did a great job. Also, I would like to mention Ken's wife who played violin. She is an excellent musician and it was a pleasure to hear her too.

Also, I think the building where the show was held was a very good setting for this type of event. I hope to be back in the future.

Thanks to Ken and Skip for a great show. It was a pleasure meeting some new steel playing friends and seeing some old friends again. It was a lot of fun getting to pick with all of them. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks again, Steve Leonard
