How come you have Tommy's name before mine?

Sorry Bill, I fixed it.
Bill Ferguson doesn't receive nowhere near enough credit for what he has done for The Southern Steel Guitar Convention over the years. I'm relatively new at Saluda, and don't have the benefit of knowing what took place in the early years to make Saluda what it is today. I'm sure there are others who have contributed to the sucess of Saluda and I wish there were archives that I could go back to and find out, so I could give credit where credit is due. This is not just a hand full of Shriners putting this event on, there are a great number of volunteers outside the Shrine Organization who volunteer time after time to make this the best Small Steel Guitar Convention around. To all those folks who have volunteered over the years and especially Mr Bill Ferguson, my Heartfelt Thanks and I am sure Buddy Walker and Charles Reece feel the same way.

There is a possibility that if you are listening to the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree this coming sat night, you may just hear something about The Southern Steel Guitar convention. We are trying to get the word out any way we can so Come early and claim your seat, I expect to see a record setting crowd again.

Gonna be some Great Vocalists, The Beautiful and very Talented Laney Hicks, Rob Parker, The Steel Guitarists best Friend, Jerry Braswell,One of Atlanta's and Georgia's Finest,and I hope Bill Ferguson's Band, Country River and Tommy Dodd's Band, Timeless Highway. Will be lots of singers to mix with some terrific Steel Guitar. There will be some Super Entertainment at This Show.

If you are anyplace other than the Saluda County Shrine Club on August 15th, You will be missing one of the best Southern Steel Guitar Conventions ever.
John

Thanks for the Heads up. I really hope they can make it. We should have a big audience for them to perform for and they deserve that. These guys need to be heard and appreciated by a lot of folks. They do a Great Job.

Dancing is ok during their show and Remember, Whooping and Hollering and whistling is ok too and makes everybody play their best.

Tell me real slow, cause, I don't catch on real fast, but HOW did Buddy's post about a classy event, featuring some of the best regional AND national steel guitar talent, turn into a discussion of cross-dressing?

Happy Birthday Stephen
