KSGA 2023 show - Baxter Springs KS - cancellation notice

[Michael McGee]

I had a very recent phone conversation with my dear friend Lee Ogle, president of the Kansas Steel Guitar Association. He is currently having computer problems and is unable to log onto the forum.

He granted me permission to post that, with sadness, after much deliberation, due to multiple factors, the October 2023 KSGA show in Baxter Springs, Kansas has been cancelled. Future shows are an uncertainty as of this date.

I am posting this at Lee's request as a favor to my friend. I was not involved in this decision and cannot answer any questions.

Lee stated to me that he would be glad to answer any questions by forum members regarding this cancellation by using this forum's Private Message system to "pm" Lee. He expects to be back on line soon.

That's sad to hear. We looked forward to this show and seeing it terminated is a big loss to me and the steel guitar community. Sadly these shows are drying up too often. Thanks Mike for passing this along.

I sure hate the show has been cancelled as well. I had been there the last two years and sure enjoyed the music and fellowship. Maybe next year it will back on schedule.

[Tony Tipton]

I’ll miss getting to hang around with Lee and the guys and gals.

Oh man, that’s heartbreaking! It’s always such a great group of pickers and friends that get together in Baxter Springs. We’ve always had such an amazing time down there!

Hey y’all! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I’m new here. Is the Kansas Steel Guitar Association defunct? It’d be a real shame if I found out about the party a year too late.

Bradley, Yes unfortunately the KSGA is no longer an active
organization. Sorry about the late response.
