MAN, I just want to thank ALL you guys! Jerry and I didn't have a boss (Charles is recuperating at home), but with a lot of folks' help, we made it! Rob, you did a super job playing, singing, and M'C-ing the show. The band--Woody, Johnny, Wayne, Jerry, and Jim---did a great job, as always, along with the guest pickers like Ken Fox, Jerry Burns, Bob Strickland, the guy with the PRS on Saturday night, and the fill-in bass dummy...
Thanks to the guys who helped carry equipment, especially for David Christmas, who's had some surgery, and for Herby Wallace. And thanks for coming and playing, Herby. Made a lot of us proud!
John Hughey---What can you say??? An absolute MASTER of the pedal steel guitar, and a class guy to boot. Miss Jean, thank you, too. And a special thanks to John for opening for Larry Danley...
The local guys---Jerry, David, Ernest, Clyde, Joe, Larry, Brett, Larry, and the folks who's names I can't remember---Thanks for playing.
The Shriners in the kitchen---Keeping good food hot and steady all day long. As Rob Parker so eloquently put it, if you missed this one, you missed a BARN-BURNER!!!
Thanks to those who asked about Charles, and we're sorry that some of you guys were sick. Just left more hot dogs for me(burp).
And thanks to all of those who came in support of the Shriners' Hospitals. They're the reason we're gonna keep this thing going.
Oh yeah, I scored a KILLER Super Reveerb from Ken Fox  !
May God bless you all. |

Hey Steve,
Jean & I just want to let you and the whole crew know what a great time we had. Everybody was so nice and helpful and we enjoyed our part of the eatin' too.
And it was a treat for me to get to open for Larry. 
We look forward to coming back sometime as it is one of our favorite shows.
Take care and don't work too hard.

Ruth and I had a ball! Thanks for letting this guitar old picker get up and play on jam night!
We had a great time meeting folks from the forum as well as folks we have done repairs and such for. It is fun to put the faces and names together.
It was great to get a chance to talk to Herby again. We had a great time talking about guitar amp and steel amp history.
Herby is sounding better and better each show I see him play. It was great to watch him and John H. both at work on stage. Their technique and musical knowledge is a real inspiration to me.
We look forward to the next show. You folks that missed it really missed out. Be sure to make plans for the next one!!
Hope to see some of you at Dallas in a few weeks.
Also thanks to the hard work to put this show together. My hat is off to Steve Gambrell for working so hard to take up the slack left by Charles needed absence. We pray he is recovering well (that applies to Steve as well!!) |

I Had a good time. It was good to see all my friends there. It was great to see Jack Molette there. I really enjoy it when he shows up. He's a great picker. We sure had the good guitar players this time. I missed most of the Georgia gang, they didn't show up. Enjoyed John Hughey as usual and that Time Jumper DVD I bought, is a keeper. Best I ever saw.

Hey Steve:
I really intended to try to make it there, but was in Lumberton, NC visiting the in laws and making a sweep through Rockingham. My brother is having some health troulbles and I needed to see him.
Hopefully next time. Sounds like it was a good turnout!

| Sorry I missed the show. I was sick all weekend. My wife kept feeding me Peter Pan peanut butter sandwiches and telling me it would make me better, but it didn't seem to help. She's so good to me. She made me a big plate of peanut butter fudge and some peanut butter cookies too. I'm lucky to have such a caring wife. |

I forgot to mention the great singers that were there, too. I'm not gonna try and list everybody's names, since I'll invariably leave somebody out  . Just two days of fun and fellowship! |

Amen Bob
There was standing room only so my bunch sat in the dining room. I could see John thru the door and hear very well. And, since I was in there I finnished up the hot dogs. Your were all right they were the best.
Who did the big bus belong to? Somebody came in style....

Stephen we are sad we missed this one, both cars broke down, crysler blew the motor, ordered a new engene from Mi, it is so cold up there they cannot ship yet, the Van blew on the way to the club jam Wen, 20 miles from home, only had 200000 miles on it, putting a new motor in both, may be ready for the next one.
My friend Larry Danley sure had a good time he is such a great guy and fun to watch play, I got him started by going to clinton Opra, created a monster. And what can you say about Ken Fox and Ruth, they are great also, and fun to be with.
ernie cause we were not there
cause you had a great show |

It was definitely a great show! I'm lookin' forward to May's show and I'm curious to find out what date it is in May. It's always wonderful to play at the Southern Steel Guitar Convention. "Redgold Beauty" and I are lookin' forward to the next one.
