For those of you who missed it, the Gospel Steel Show in Indianapolis this year was super with all the great players, but to me Jerry Roller stole the show with not only his great dobro and steel playing, but also his two numbers, "Ole Spring" and "Got 'er Done". Hats off to a great musician and friend. Blessings, Albert Svenddal

| Roller doesn't sing often, but when he does the crowd loves the songs he has written. Good job Roller. Donna |

Wow, What a great show in Indy this past weekend. Yes, Roller and all the gang put on a great show. I concur with Donna that everyone did a marvelous job. I was also knocked out by the playing of Austin. That "yougin'" keeps amazing me more each time I see and hear him.
None of this would not have been possible had it not been for the hard work and dedication of Doug & Stevee along with the
great group who helped put it all together.
They are truly amazing. The one ingredient that really puts it all into perspective is the best fellowship you would find anywhere.
We call folks in Texas friendly, but the Indy fellowship is as great as I have ever experienced. Thanks, and God Bless.

Albert,
I know what you mean about Mr. Roller. I knew he was a good player, but then I heard him at the Jam in Siloam springs they held on Friday night, he really let his hair down, and after hearing him I changed my feelings to a GREAT player. Jerry had the best tone, I thought, of anyone there.
He had just got his new Rains, and his tone and touch was sooooooooooo good.
I will get to hear him again on July 1st at the Marshfield show.
