We can't promise to bring Austin to every meeting, but we would try to make every one that was at all possible. Austin (and us as well) would just love that. The third Sunday is perfect for us, since our local Kansas club meets on the 1st. Sunday of the month.

Thank you Bill and Dana for responding. Dana Terry and I know your local association meets on the first Sunday, that's one of the reasons why we are looking at the 3rd Sunday.
We need to hear from others. Come on LETS HEAR fom you guys so we can set this up right. |

Thanks Hank and Terry. We appreciate your consideration. We will do our best to have Austin there as often as possible.
Terry, I have to confess, I went to sleep too early last night to catch your show. Austin stayed up and listened in though and he said you had a good show. Keep up the good work.

Hank,
If Austin is there... I'm there!!! It's worth it just to see what he comes up with every month. I also have attended the KSGA about 6 times now and sure love the way Ray Qualls runs the agenda. Do you have plans on what the format will be? Also happy that your looking at the 3rd Sunday so it doesn't conflict with KSGA or Siloam Springs.

Hank, that's a great idea. I'm working on some things for our newsletter at the present. I'll do my best to be there. I didn't see you at our steel jam on July 30, I may not have recognized you with so many people there. Anyway, I think that's a very good step in the right direction for OSGA.

Hank, this sounds like fun! Do we bring our instruments and jam? Will there be something to eat or should our wives bring the food? Where is Hwy 65 and Buisness 65 in relation to Hwy 76 and 65? Will you have a bass player and a drummer? Will there be a sign..no fiddles, banjos, etc...?(just kidding) I'm full of questions, aren't I? This is a great idea and we thank you, Hank, for your help! Terry came by the house the other day and told us of your willingness to get involved. Count us in!!

I am sure Jerry and I would come as often as we could. It is about a 3 hour drive for us, but I know it would be fun. The 3rd Sunday sounds good. Donna & Jerry |

Hank & Terry,
Sorry I won't be able to make the meetings, but can I still join the club? I signed the list at the Branson Jam, and I'm still waiting for an application. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon. |

Hey Hank, I hope I haven't overstepped my worthiness here. I have a bass player coming Oct. 15. His name is Jackie Wilson. But I can't find a drummer. What have you got on that end? Thanks a heap for what you're doing! We've been calling people in this area. I even talked to Robby Springfield. He's only a couple hours away from Branson. Terry said to canvas about 150 miles radius around Branson to see how many would be interested. Keith Hilton and Mike McGee sound interested and Dave Musgrave is really glad you're doing this. Others said they would try to be there. But you never know who's going to be there until they walk through the door. Hey, you all, if you're planning on coming to the club meeting and jam, please let Hank and Terry know!
