John Ely is a great steel guitarist who will be playing daily at the convention. 
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.
It is now just a little over a month. Can't wait. It is always a great time.
Aloha,
Don
