Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the PSGA is the oldest formal steel guitar association in the world with the second longest running steel show being predated by Scotty's ISGC by only one year. Am I right? At any rate, it's no wonder they get it right.

I look forward to meeting and hearing you play one day.

Best to you

Sure will be good to play this show, the last Time I played it was when Jimmy Day and I went up together in 1987 or -- something.
Jody, HowardR, Pat Burns, and all you other hoodlums better get ready, I may really want to have a great time, at your expense!!!!!!!

Jeff DeMaio reports that in addition to the sleeping rooms the Ballroom has also had a complete re-do. They've honored the same contract terms as last year which helps us keep expenses down, but they warned us that next year the rates will escalate and we may not be able to afford it anymore. It would be nice to break even, just once this year, for a change.

As of this date we Have Fessenden, GFI, and perhaps Lamar Steel Guitars displaying as well as QwikStix from New Hampshire, who will have their steel guitar products on display. (See my QwikStix review in the August/Sept. Pedal Steel Newsletter)

Another important note: In addition to our excellent back-up musicians we will have 3 full bands backing their steel players, Lonnie Bennett's Gospel band on Sunday morning at 11 am, Jeff DeMaio with Scott Tyler and Gunsmoke on Saturday night and Terry Sutton with the Stone Canyon Band (day & time not yet determined). Darlene DeMaille will lend her vocals talents as well.

Thanks for all of your kind words regarding myself and all of the wonderful players (including yourself) and those great musicians. Saturday night should also be very special with Jeff DeMaio and Gunsmoke. WOW! I am really loooking forward to the event. I plan to do a "Swingin' West" show in early October as a tribute to the PSGA show with material by the musicians that will be there.

There are some factors that make the PSGA show special......:

The huge video screen.... you can watch the player's left & right hand at work, and sometimes the feet. This is great in that there's a learning process by observing this.....although one time during a fiddle break I saw the steel player scratching.....oh, never mind...

The PSGA show is an intimate show, both in physical size and in attitude. Very laid back and friendly. You can hang with your heros. And they won't talk about you until after the show...

The most important factor.....THERE'S A COSTCO RIGHT NEXT DOOR!!!!!! You can stock up on tuna fish and toilet paper until next year! Need 82 pounds of mixed nuts? You can score that and still not mis "A Way To Survive".......

You are right on point about Gunsmoke! Because they are hidden up here in the Northeast most people (with the exception of my "Swingin' West" listeners) in other parts of the country are not aware how good they are. Their love for the music and the lack of an ego come out in as you say a "relaxed" and class performance.
