I'm totally geeked about John Ely being at Joliet. His performances and presence at the 2002 show have gone down in history as one of the BEST HSGA Joliet shows ever!

| John really made the 2002 HSGA convention special. He's a great player with a deep understanding of chords and theory and really makes use of that in his playing. He's also an excellent communicator and teacher with a real passion for the instrument and the music and an all-around great guy to hang with and learn from. |

Great news Gerald!
Not only is John an excellent musician, but also a fine gentleman and a tremendous contributor in so many ways to the world of Steel Guitar.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing John in Joliet.

You guys are all excited about John being our special guest but the only registrations I have received so far are from Gerald & Terry.
We need a lot more registrations to make this convention go.
Get them in. October will be here before we know it.
