I know I can't make this show, but I would sure like to some year. For I was stationed at Fort Gordon just outside Augusta in the 60's. I made it into town a few times. I would like to see again some year, and now I have a reason to go. Maybe....  |

Sure hope I can make it.Having some health problems with my Fibrosis. When I move about with my O2 tank on, my oxygen levels drop to the low 70's,Heart rate up to 110 and 120's. and thats bad.Going to Medical University today for my 52nd week testing (study I am In) and hope the Doc can come up with something. Sure hope so, as this may be my last Steel show due to my age and health.
So you Guys wish me luck.

| Much as I hate to say it, we are going to miss this first one. We are in Maine on business now and when we get back it is off to Nashville for a test run of the 2X12" version of our new all tube steel amp. Hope to make the next one for sure and Ruth and I hope the show is a big success. |
