Sounds like you did a great job of putting that show together, Del! What brand is Footie playing? I can't make out the label in the photo.

Hello David,
Thank you,it was a lot of hard work and planning but I had great people around me that helped ease most of the pain.
We hope to make it a much better show for next August.
Footie is playing a 8 string Sierra, thanks again and have a great day. |

Great to see the steel in new places. After reading the gone home section in the forum you really the sense that we need new players all the time as so many of the old players are passing on. Keep on playing and good luck to you all.

That must be one of those Sierras with the fold up legs I've heard about. Capital idea...when you consider all the time we spend setting up and breaking down. Good luck with next year!
