I got there late and only got to see Mr. Sweeney's set and the "jam" at the end. I heard some excellent steel guitar.

Mr. Sweeney...one of the best I have ever heard.

Ms Hammit,

You are one of the best. Have been a fan since your days with Bill Anderson.

I only use my Zum, Volume Pedal, and Nashville 112 amp.

Doug,
Tommy White was playing steel, and I believe it was his Show-Pro.

If I am not mistaken, that was the great Paul Franklin. Incredible playing.

The National Anthem was lip-synched. I was watching for it and saw it.
