Time is drawing close for all trains to lead to Chattanooga, TN May 20 & 21, 2005
Choo Choo Holiday Inn

This will actually be 3 shows. Friday night, Saturday day and Saturday night. All 3 will be great.
I will be handing the sound as I have since the show's inception.
This show is one of the best in the country. The show staff and hotel staff are wonderful and will take good care of you.
Plus there are many attractions close by, with free shuttles, in case you want to stay a little longer.
The hotel has great restaurants and you are close to many other fine eating establishments in the area.
On Friday during the day, I will be playing NEW CD's from various artists over the sound system to give you a sampling of the fine music you will be hearing and can purchase.

Again, you don't want to miss this one as it is one of the finest shows in the Country. Larry Self is first class when doing a show and having Bill Ferguson working with him makes it even that much better. Bill will be doing the sound, and believe me, it makes a difference having a good steel player behind the board.
I hope to see all of you there.
