Our first ASGA was a huge success thanks to Bill Cook and our ASGA team plus all the talented players.

As we are planning our next event(s), we're asking our Alabama players to give us your thoughts on best days for the jams -- time of the jam -- what Alabama city would be the best for our next major ASAG Super Jam -- what players you suggest we schedule -- what type of special seminars would be a benefit -- would you like to have a Q & A time -- what vendors would be great to invite etc.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Bill, your Friday night/Saturday show idea is good. Try not to schedule it too close to a major show or a holiday. Perhaps the first week of May. As for the City, Montgomery is ok. Birmingham might be more convenient for all, as the drive from Nashville would not be as far.

If he can do it, then make Mike Johnson (he is from Alabama) the regular invited pro with a couple of other guest pros invited.

Thank you for the emails...your creative ideas are appreciated in helping Bill Cook and our ASGA team make our Alabama events the best possible. What type of seminars would benefit you?

Bill, anything would be a help to me!!!

I think seminars should be geared for all. If possible, a beginners, intermediate and advanced players seminar that are concurrent. It's very hard for everyone to fit into a "general" seminar for everyone. There are plenty of teachers/instructors that could participate. It allows them a chance to make some money and prepare for a specific level of ability. Consequently, I believe there would be a larger participation from the attendees.

Thanks Bill!
