The COPSGC meeting on the 23rd will start at 1:00 pm. A free beginner seminar will be held from 10:00 am to 12 Noon. If anybody has somebody to attend please email me so we can plan accordingly. Please bring your picks! tenstringin@wmconnect.com

Bob, thank you for offering this seminar.

New players should take advantage of this because so many of the older players had no one who knew anything about a steel guitar to help them when they first started to play.

It is my understanding this is open to all age groups---anyone who is curious. It is also my uderstanding that you DO NOT need to own a steel guitar to attend. (of course, if you DO own a steel guitar, please bring it!) All you need is a desire to learn more about the instrument, and this will be an opportunity to sit behind one, get a little "hands on", and learn a little and ask all the questions you like. If you bring your instrument, you can learn some answers to questions you may have and get a little help/encouragement so you can advance further, such as technique, song structure, ect.

Thanks guys for adding your comments! As usual I wear "ribbon of shame" for not adding ALL the particulars. I'm hoping alot of people take advantage of this free lesson chance and come out to our event. We are gonna open the Steel World up to people who still call it..."That thing on legs that sounds like a cat playing horns"? (not if it's done right)

Bob,

I don't know if I could make it to your seminar but if time constraints and cash flow allow I would like to come.

Do you allow visitors from places other then Oklahoma?

I see the date and time posted but no location, where are you going to be?

John...C'mon down, we welcome any picker from anywhere,(even Razorbacks)

we do not have a problem with any "drop ins" from out of state. As a matter of fact we have one member who is from Kansas, and another person from Arkansas might be comming. Hope you can make it. The directions are basically simple...go to OKC and head S on 44, at the last free exit (107) which is the Minco/Tuttle exit turn off go Right (west) for 12 miles to Tuttle Round-Up Club, which is on your Left across from the Football Field...Can't miss it. If you need any other info call at (405) 387-6063 or email myself or James and we'll hook you up in the right direction. tenstringin@wmconnect.com or saltydog@netcommander.com Hope to see ya there!

I should try and make it to the 10am deal, I have not played for many many years and thinking about buying another steel..!!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Bill Edwards on 11 September 2006 at 06:07 PM.]</p></FONT>

Actually Bob, that exit to Tuttle is 108. Unless John wants to exit at 107 and relieve himself of his money at the casino

Bob Belcher · Post by **Bob Belcher** » 12 Sep 2006 2:39 pm

Good call there Gerald...since I spend most of my life there at the "wrong" exit it was just a mind disengagement...Sorry all!

Joe, we are reserving a seat for you---a steel seat that is!

Jim Harper · Post by **Jim Harper** » 18 Sep 2006 6:59 pm

Yes James you are right about the seat and i want to set right next to Joe. We got lot,s to talk about and Gene might help==Jim Harper

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 18 Sep 2006 7:50 pm

Jim, I'd be glad to set up next to you and Gene. Don't mind me, I'll be saying little and listening a lot to YOU TWO!! If I knew one fifth of what you guys have forgotten, I could make a healthy living playing steel guitar!! Jim, I believe we could handcuff your hands to your pedal bar and make you play with your toes, and you could take me! Gene could, too, but he won't take his socks off!

Gosh, I didn't know playing steel was a contest. Ken

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 19 Sep 2006 4:47 am

Actually Ken, playing steel is a full contact sport. Two hands, two knees, two feet, then if you sing, too. It's also a weight lifting contest, too. Lift into the trunk, lift out of the trunk--repeat for 30 years.

Jim Harper · Post by **Jim Harper** » 19 Sep 2006 5:39 am

Dog-gone James you have sure got that right.I might not see very good but i know i will be listening to some good steel guitar music this Sat. You guy,s better park down the street cause i will be driving==Jim Harper

Gerald Cook · Post by **Gerald Cook** » 19 Sep 2006 8:48 am

Jim, you want us to turn the lights on so you can see the runway when you land?

I bet you can just follow your nose to Bob's good cookin'

Bob Belcher · Post by **Bob Belcher** » 19 Sep 2006 3:40 pm

Just a note for you members, Dixie Gilbert is in the Hospital with a staff infection from last weeks surgey. Let's give Joe and Dixie a quick prayer, Joe, hope to see you at the meeting if alls well.Don't forget Jim Harper as he's going in this week for eye work. By the way members, I think I got a drum set but may need a drummer for this meeting, so if ya can drum or know of one drop me a line. Until then...see ya at the meeting.

Joe W. Gilbert · Post by **Joe W. Gilbert** » 20 Sep 2006 9:10 am

Thanks Bob for the post. Everything is now semi-back to normal. She is not out of the woods yet but at least she is home. Will see you guys sat. I hope Jim doesn't miss Tuttle and wind up at Minco. I'll notify the local police in case he does and have them turn him around.lol
