I really enjoyed the whole experience except the one thing you will hear alot, the elevators. The ballroom was very similar to the Westin, maybe a little bigger and I think the sound of the room was slighly better. I really enjoyed Dag Wolf and was very impressed by Larry Sasser. I liked his playing and his personality. This is just comment on the new players, the regulars all did their usual excellent jobs. Sasser just seems like a good ole boy. Albert and the crew did a very good job of filling the holes left by cancelling players. Backup musicians were great and Curtis Potter and The Barely Can Playboys did the stellar job of covering Tommy Morrels western swing dance. Beavers, Jernigan, Sasser, and Hicks did John Hughey proud on their tribute. It was hard to keep a dry eye and most didn't. Congradulations to Albert and Debbie Tally and crew for job well done. |

We had a ball. The music and new location were just the best. Ruth and I had so much fun we are booking rooms ASAP for next year. She is already shopping for a new hat!! Our dog insists on coming next year, she has a new hat.

I really enjoyed meeting old friends and new. It was a very fine show, and Albert and the crew's hard work was very evident, and it paid off BIG!! Like Ken, we, too, have next year's reservations made. You snooze, you lose, on the rooms for next year!! |

I think the height of the show was, and many people related this to me, the performance of the PRIDESMEN on saturday at noon. |

Ken,
You guys have a beautiful dog. I assume from the funnel collar that it's have a problem of some kind. I hope it's doing well. Hope you guys are doing well too! |

For a building of its size there were only 4 elevators. Saturdy night after the Joe Wright show we thought there would be a very long wait for the elavators but that was not the case. We waited about 3 minutes.
Its a good location for the show and as we get more use to the new site I believe most problems will be solved. |

Our dog,Cinamon is fine..She had surgery on her foot and to keep her from chewing on it we had to use the funnel hat.
We burned the midnight oil at the dance but did not dance. I wanted atmosphere, even though we loved the music..and to do that you have to have the lights turned down low...but no one knew how to do that. I think more people would have danced...something to think about for next year who ever is in charge. We'll see you all next year!!!! Now it's back to work..and it is stacking up. We love working at home...Hugs from South Georgia.....Ken and Ruth |

Ken, I saw you buzzing around the show. Never got a chance to say hi. All the work you've done for me on the Profex's is performing flawlessly. |
