I am already looking forward to this great show, as I've heard nothing but good things about it. One of the things I am looking forward to is the great backup band. Fred really knows how to do a first class show. I hope to see everyone there in January.

Hi Fred, CAN'T WAIT TILL JANUARY!!!!!! See you soon. I will be there.

Folks, to all of you that have never been to Arizona in January, You don't know what you are missing. It was about 10 degrees when I left Pueblo, Colorado last year for this show and about 80 degrees when I rolled into Mesa. You owe it to yourselves to get out of the COLD and come to a GREAT STEEL SHOW!!!!!

Lookin forward to this one, It'll be a swingin good time. I understand all the booths are sold out, which means there will be a lot of great Steel Guitar gear and recordings. I'm anxious to play with the "Rosetta" band again. Those cats can really swing. See you there. Al

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 21 Sep 2004 3:10 pm

Great show! Hope to be back there this time, too. Anyone within driving range (or cheap flights!) should really try to make it out. It's amazing how good the very first show was and it's only gonna get better from here on.

Great line-up....It's worth coming to this event just to meet the class guys that run the SWSGA!

Did I put in a plug to hear Danny at this years show?? (Maybe just wishful thinking.)

Fred Justice · Post by **Fred Justice** » 24 Sep 2004 7:33 am

Hey Jack,
To get to hear Danny Sneed at our show just aint gonna happen,I've tried everything short of black mail to get him to play and no matter what he aint gonna do it.Oh well,we tried.

Troy put on your dancing shoes, I'm a coming I"m a coming.

Fred tell Danny to get off his butt and get there. If he is afraid to play alone tell him I will play with him. Need to get the juices flowing.

It is going to be a GREAT SHOW!! Plans are under way to make this the biggest, best show for steel guitar West of Dallas!! A word to the wise....get your hotel reservations early, get your show tickets early, cause this one is gonna be a sellout. Much planning and work has gone into this to make it something that every member of the SWSGA and the steel guitar community at large will be proud of. Do yourself a favor and make your plans now!!!
