I forgot to mention this in my earlier post. I want to say that we enjoyed the church service Sunday with Carl Butler. I don't know him well, but the more I get to know about him, the more I like and respect him. I hope my two boys will look at the way he uses his musical talents to win souls for Jesus, and in turn, use their talents in the same way.

Dana you are so right, a great Sunday service to say the least!!
My thanks to all the staff for inviting me to play the show, thanks to all that bought my products and just stopped to chat.
A great turn out for this Show, I hope to be back next year.

Yes , the Sunday service by my friend Carl was wonderful and all that played were great too. Fred , thanks a million for the great deal on the rack case ! When I got home and really looked the case over I was blown away by how well built they are ! I was impressed that you even included the mounting screws ! Everything fit so well with my Midiverb II it was like it was made together !! I will definitely be doing more business with you. Justice Products are great !!

I am so glad you all enjoyed the show. We really worked hard to make the first Heartland Steel Guitar Festival a success but it took all you guys to make it happen.

I'm glad to see so many of you were moved by Carl Butler's musical Sunday morning service. He did an awesome job of testimony and Mike McGee was flat tearing up the C-6th on some of their numbers. That was every bit as good as the rest of the show.

I've gotten permission to put the whole recorded Sunday service on the net so everyone can see it. Look for our announcement as soon as Freddie "G" studios finishes his editing.

Oh yeah.... I forgot to mention that every player and band member on both days of the show will get a professional DVD of their performance. Compliments of the Heartland Steel Guitar Festival.

Glad you could make it Earl. A lot of the players were asking if you would make and you added a lot by being there.

Thank you Roger. It was a great time and privilege for me to just be there. Glad I could make it.

I am completely overwhelmed with the turnout to the show. I met many old friends and made several new ones.
The smiles on the faces of the performers and the audience spoke very loudly of the special memories to be recalled from this gathering. Every performer played their hearts out through their Steel Guitars.
Bill and Betty and Frankie, CONGRATULATIONS as you all are the most deserving no doubt. I want to thank Roger Hurst, who has been a true leader through this event, Jim Mathis, without his talents, our presence would not have been known, Hank Ruf, without your talents and knowledge this event would not have been possible, Ron Bailey, you were just an awesome asset to putting this together. We will do it all again next year too. Even better.
