| Seems like everyone came away from this show with the same feeling I had--I can't recall enjoying any show more than I did this one. Jack and Charlie and their wives are to be congratulated for the efforts they made to make everyone feel so welcome. Great food, great fellowship. great music--that's a combo I really like. Thanks to each person who had a hand in making this Carolina show a success, looking forward to the next one!! And a special thanks to all the players that allowed me to share the stage with you. |

Jack and Charlie,
Thanks so much for all the effort, sure seems liked everybody had a great time.
Roger, I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the great set you played, or the much needed break you gave me on drums. Thanks so much for both.
See ya soon,
Jim |

| I also want to thank everyone who was involved in putting on another Carolina Steel Guitar Convention Jam. It would be great to have it every three or four months. The Venue and Stage is just right. Thanks to the Staff Band for backing Sandra and myself. Also, Thanks to the Ladies in the Canteen! |

Thank you Jack and Charlie for the hard work. Wow, the talent not only the music, but the murals that the artist did for the stage. Also thank you Tony Ledford for your backing and your great voice and delivery. Did anyone taste the great hamburgers the ladies made? Yum!
Thanks again, Bob |

I just want to add my thanks to Jack and all of his supporters for putting together a great little show. Maybe small in numbers but big in heart and talent.
I look forward to coming back again if you'll have me. |

Hi all: It was 900 miles from Canada to the Show but worth every mile to listen to the great Tommy Dodd & the other fine Steelers. We enjoyed singing with the Friday nite band & even with a sore voice on the Sat.Jam but on Sunday, even though we were nervous,just to have Bob Strickland,then Johnny Thomas, Tony Ledford & Jim Hartley playing behind us was like jaming with family.Our son, Bill,would have been so proud.
Our thanks to Jack Conyers for inviting us and Terry Rogers as MC.but a special thanks to Jack Burnside & Charley Mitchell & staff for making us feel so welcome & for the memories that we'll treasure.
