Come on guys, lighten up on the sound. In most acts, the same musicians do the show. Very easy to mix. At a show like St. Louis, with 30 or 40 different steel players,each having a different touch and tone, it is probably a "nightmare" for the sound crew. I think they done good. Sure enjoyed the show. met a lot of nice people. Was sure nice talking with Neil Flanz and Johnny Farina. Thanks to Scotty and his family for once again putting on a great show. See you down the road, Jody. |

Just a comment on Larry Sasser's reply.
Buddy Charlton's set was also one of my favorites along with Larry's. Larry is playing better than ever and just sounded great. We are indeed fortunate to get to hear him play the Convention. |

I thought the sound was good. Everyone has
an opinion about tone. Just ask a Steel Player. |

I couldn't make this year's convention, but if anyone is interested, I have a couple of photos of Gonzalo and his daughter during the 2003 convention. It was a pleasure to meet him and talk to him and his family.

Mike, I wasn't in the ballroom all of the time and I'm sure that there were some sound problems. I apologize for this as it is part of my responsibility to make sure that the Golden Roads Production crew is providing the best mix possible. But, again, that room is hard to mix in. I take your input as the constructive kind. By the way, there was no delay being used in the room during the entire show. Also, it occurred to me that maybe it was partially because of somewhat smaller crowdsize? |

Hi Alan, I think the photos are great. Thank you for posting them. It looks like Buddy is playing an all pull and using a white bar of some type. Is this the famous "blade"? |

Mike, my input is in no way mean spirited and the variables mentioned could have played a part in this years difference in sound. In years past, the sound was booming and crystal clear all over the hall. This year was just a noticable change and if it were not meant to be, I feel you would want to know about it. |

Mike I thought the sound was very bad but I didn't like it last year. At least I thought there were more younger people there this year and we need them to keep this alive. We have a show in Benton,Il. and so far itlooks good hope to see you all there in april check our web site at www.southernilproductions.com thanks. ------------------

Here's how I look at it: I paid $60.00 for a weekend pass, and I was privileged enough to meet Vince Gill (unexpectedly). However, the highlight of the entire Convention was watching Mr. Jonathan Chandler do his thing! If the rest of you folks could just get over the little sound infractions, you, too, could admit that you had a wonderful time in St. Louis. For the record, it was great to see Mr. Hal Rugg alive and well, and it's always great to hear and see Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brumley, Mr. and Mrs. John Hughey, Mr. and Mrs. Don Helms, Mr. and Mrs. Herby Wallace, and countless others I have failed to mention. I met Mr. Larry Sasser for the first time this year, and I was blown away by his distinct laughter! I could hardly believe that this was the guy I used to see as a little kid on "Nashville Now". Well, it's getting late in Memphis, so I think I'll turn the radio on and the computer off. Long story short: ANYTIME SOMEBODY PLAYS A STEEL GUITAR, IT IS A PLEASANT SUCCESS!Yours truly,
