| As a new kid on the block and only seeing names on the forum for the most part, may I suggest everyone wear name tags. I know this sounds kinda corny, but it would be nice to associate a name with a face. Maybe just the stick-on kind from a office supply store. Just have everyone write their name and hometown on it. Just a thought!! and a bump. |

A GOOD IDEA Tim! Larry's memory isn't what it used to be, and sometimes we have to remind him what his name is and which side of the steel to sit at  .
Joking aside, Today's the day! Hope to see a bunch of Steel Guitar lovers there!
(name tags ARE a good idea, Tim)

FANTASTIC SHOW! My personal thanks to John Lemaster, Lonnie Portwood, Royce Morgan, Jim Frable, and my Buddy, Blue, for being the greatest back-up band this pedal-pusher could ever want or need, to make him sound better than he deserves!

The back up band was so great, Royce Morgan, Jim Frable, Blue Grayson, John LeMaster, Lonnie Portwood, This group is the best any steel player could ever hope for, what a great job.
The players, so many, they are all listed above, special thanks to are South Carolina, players, Also Doug Jones from Oregon, and of course all the florida steel players, again named above.
A special thank you to all of the staff, that make this show a success, there were many.

FANTASTIC show indeed! Big thanks to Haywood and Larry for inviting me to perform. It was great to meet everyone. There's a ton of great players down in Florida. The backup band was top-notch. A whole bunch of tasty music was played and a whole bunch of great styles were appreciated by all. The audience got more than what they paid for!
It was good to meet Joe Wright in person and experience his steel guitar and comedic expertise. A highlight was sitting between Fred Thompson and Chet Gibson during the Jam portion. Boy was that fun!
Thanks for having me and maybe see ya next year.

I believe this was the 13th edition of The Florida Steel Jam presented by Haywood, and my fourth time appearing on the show. What a good turnout we had - the banquet room seemed to be full for pretty much the entire event. The audience sure was warm and responsive, too!
Although I enjoyed doing my steel playing segment, the real treat was getting to play bass behind so many fine guys and gals. It was nice to meet new friends and renew old friendships.
Thanks to Haywood Henson, Larry Danley, and all who helped put on the show. I hope to be back next year.

This being my first steel show, I could not have asked for anything better. The musicians and the back-up band were unbelievable. Everyone was so friendly. I got to meet and talk to other forum members and steel players, who offered up some great information to guide me along. Joe Wright was great. It was easy to have such a good time. Thanks to Haywood and Larry and everybody else for being so nice. I guess I should say we, as my wife Mimie enjoyed the show every bit as much as I did!!

Thank you Haywood and Larry for letting this old man enjoy your hard work for this show. The band was great and and the sound was balanced. So many players that showed how the steel could be enjoyed by anyone. Then there is Joe...a unique exciting and inovative guy. I had a great time, Thanks again,
