Hey Lefty, just to let you know, Gail and I have made our reservation for your show. Will see you at the end of February. I know you will have a great lineup, and for those of you who have never attended this show, you owe it to yourself to take a trip to Waterloo, and see some of the best players in the upper midwest.

I believe Keith Hilton will be here this year representing Hilton Electronics and also scheduled to play? I haven't seen a final schedule, but this event seems to be getting bigger at a quick rate. I might add that the house backup band is excellent and the sound system was great last year.

I was raised In Clarion...five miles west of old 69 on highway 3...and they've been having some baaaaad weather back there. Hope It cooperates for you guys. But then we've got around four feet here In Flagstaff Arizona and more coming. But what we got Is about gone on the south side of everything. No wind though and hasn't been below 0 yet. 16 months and 17 days we're moving to Phoenix....but who's counting.

| I am looking forward to having a booth and playing on this show. These are really nice people. I found out from some music friends in Ottumwa that it is 10 hours from Branson. I played in Waterloo with the Clay Campbell Show Band in 1978. As I remember, it was a big place called the Starlite. Have I got that mixed up with some other place? We played so many places up north it is hard to remember them all. There was this really nice place called "Porky's". I know that was in Iowa some place. Maybe that is the one I am thinking about? I've been thinking about what I should play on the Show. I've made up my mind to just wing it. Just play what I feel like playing as we get into it. I think that makes it more exciting. |

Hi Keith...
Good to hear you can make it to Waterloo. There is a Starlite ballroom. Can't remember where it is? I think Northwest of Wateroo? This is the Electric Park Ballroom. Grand old ballroom! Many of the old ballrooms from the 30s and 40s have been torn down. It is kind of a nostalgic treat to play one of these big places.
You'll find the back up band VERY capable. You'll enjoy having Roger Miller (lead guitar) working with you.
You'll have a good and enjoyable weekend. I know Lefty and I are using a Hilton pedal. Not sure how many others? It will be some good area exposure for a pedal I wouldn't be without.

| Dennis, it will be good to get out of Branson. I need a break! Hope the weather is OK. This time of year anything can happen. We are going to leave Friday morning and should arrive late Friday evening. I'm not bringing my two Nashville 400 amps, as Lefty said he would have a couple to use. |
