I've just moved to NW Fl and met many steelers here. No mention of any association.
Jack Stoner would probably be the best person to ask. _________________ AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables, Goodrich Baby Bloomer and Peavey Nashville 112.

I live within the Hurricane Michael Cone of Destruction, Southport, Fl. Is that close to you? I saw the name of the convention on a You Tube video featuring Joe Wright and that prompted me to ask. _________________ I am currently running a Simmons SD10, Peavey Nashville 400 that's packing a 15" BW, Peavey Delta Fex effects processor, and a Match Box.

It's about 150 miles. I am in the far NW corner of the panhandle, NW of Pensacola. _________________ AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps.

Johnny, Bill Lawson and Myself started the assoc. in 2007 here in Jacksonville, Fl. and had to disband in Jan 2014 for lack of support. We had some great musical experiences over 7 years, and some of the best of the best musicians graced our stage! One of those players was Bill Ferguson! Bill, I can't believe you forgot where and who we were down here in N.E. Fl! By the way, welcome to Florida, currently lending credence to the claim of "global warming" (which I don't believe this doomsday talk)
Johnny, You can email me thru the Forum if you have any questions about the NFSGA. Thanks, Lonnie Portwood _________________ Music is probably the most "spiritual of mankinds emotions, and when practised with a pure heart, can lead one into the presence of God, who invented it. Lonnie Portwood |

Thanks Lonnie,
I did not forget. I did not know that was the name of the Jacksonville show.
Wish it were still going on. _________________ AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps.

Southport is located about 10 miles North of Panama City, on Hwy 77. I actually know the area, where you live pretty well also, having lived a spell in Ferry Pass and attending school there. I was hoping against hope that it was still in existence and it was close enough to participate in, when I have time. LOL. It's very hard, in my area to even find anyone who will admit that they have and/or play a steel guitar. Mine is currently sitting in a closet, in it's case and hasn't been touched in about 3 or so years. Thanks for the info guys and I'll be in touch. _________________ I am currently running a Simmons SD10, Peavey Nashville 400 that's packing a 15" BW, Peavey Delta Fex effects processor, and a Match Box.
