Barry,
Thanks for the heads up, I want to go ahead and put this on the calendar. For those of you who haven't been to this show, it is first rate. The TV screen lets you see what the playes are doing just as if you were looking over their shoulder. And the sound provided by Bill Ferguson (an excellent steel player who knows what it needs to sound like!), is superb. Staff musicians...the best. Tell us what's up for Thursday night!

This is one of my favorite shows to play and I got my invitation to do it again back in the late summer. I'm looking forward to it and hope to see all of you there. Mark your calenders.

Barry, Mike and all, yes, this one is a great one and is as well run as you could ask for. There are several great steel shows now in the country and over seas, been a while since I've seen a bad one but this Chatanooga show is one of the very greatest, thanks to the great effort of Barry himself.

I am really looking forward to attending the Chattanooga show for the very first time in May! Gonna do what I can to get my cousin, Larry Self, to go with me since he resides in nearby Spring City, Tennessee. I am very new to the steel guitar community, and I've heard great things about this particular show, so I've got to be there! Please post a tentative line-up when you have the time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Your truly,
