All the players did a fantastic job and the crowd

I was glad to be able to attend this show. I had met Don Helms when he appeared at the Midwest Country Theater with Jett Williams, in Sandstone, MN. I took this time to sit down with him and did an interview, which I will post on the Minnesota Steel Guitar website as soon as I transcribe it. I will post a notice when this is done.
Friday night at The Tavern, was really great. I was sitting about 4 feet to the right of Joe Wright as he played some great steel licks. He did all of this without the use of picks as well. Just watching his right hand move along the strings is a lesson in itself. Always a great entertainer, and a great person.
A great time was had by all. Thanks Craig and Susie for doing a great job.
Dennis

| I had a good time at the Dairy State show this year. My set went pretty well with the help of Roger, Glenn, Mark, and Harry. Thanks guys!! Don Helms is a great guy to talk to and having supper with Joe Wright and Steve Nelson is a riot. |

I have just returned from the Dairy Jam in Wisconsin Rapids,Wisconsin..
Such a great time, and a great show..The great Don Helms and I travelled together..that in itself was a treat and a great show...he is a class act, and a walking history book of information, and country music history.
All the artists played great, and brought to the fans, and supporters,a very entertaining show..and the staff band was superb..backing up the artists with, no rehearsal,nor run-throughs..thanks guys..looking forward to working with you again sometime..The sound crew did an outstanding job of making us all sound better..kudos to all of you.. and thank you Michael Cutsforth, for your expertise, and knowlege, and for putting together this sound crew. Outstanding job....
My thanks ,and appreciation to the officers, staff, and volunteers,who worked long and hard to present this show to the audience...and my deepest thanks to the fans and supporters who came and showed their support..without them we would have been,as Merle Haggard sings," just playing for the band"...
I want to thank each of you, on behalf on Don and I, for your courtesies, your help and support..Thank you again for the invite, and I hope to be invited back..
RP...'come on in'...
