This year's guest of honor John Ely of Asleep At The Wheel fame will hold a
non-pedal steel guitar seminar on Friday evening, October 4, 2002 at the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Association's (HSGA) convention
in Joliet, Illinois.

This Q & A seminar is free of charge for all convention attendees.

Here's your chance to ask John about tunings, picks, chords, repertoire, phrasing, Hawaiian vs. Western Swing technique etc. in a friendly, informal setting.

This year's HSGA convention will be held October 3-5, 2002 at the Holiday Inn Express in Joliet, Illinois (near Chicago).

Call the Joliet Holiday Inn direct (soon!) to get special room rates for the convention.
