Between Russ Hicks' playing and Bill Simmons' good looks, we should have a good turn out!  But, on a serious note, I do look better than Bill! And my Fessenden plays better! Especially the 1'st pedal and the LKR! Just Kidding!D-10 Fessenden, Nashville 112, Session 500, Goodrich LDR |

Folks, the emails and phone calls have been cookin' up some stuff. I'm waiting on an OK from Bill Cook, but do we have another suprise in store for this show. We started looking into the strong heritage this state has for "The Best" steel players in the world. Please forgive me for not including everyone, but this will give you a good idea: Jimmy Day, Curly Chalker, Don Helms, Julian Tharpe, Lloyd Green and so many others. This is the "ice breaker". Bill, thanks again for getting this thing started. It was way overdue. I know the people I've talked to are really excited about what you've started. It's been great seeing the energy that everybody is putting into it. That's what it takes. I'm glad to be a small part of it! I sure wish I could spill the beans on WHAT I KNOW!!! |

I would be remiss not to include Don Davis in the list of GREAT PLAYERS from our state. I have such a finite knowledge of our states heritage with steel players. I will continue to recognize players as they are brought to my attention. And plaese, let me know! |

Good DR., Try to get there on Saturday for the jam session at the hotel. Otherwise, I think it starts at 10 am on Sunday. I look forward to meeting you. I'll send you a flyer on a separate email. [This message was edited by Tim Bridges on 31 January 2006 at 10:27 AM.] |

Dr. Rickles, Show starts promptly at 10.00 Sunday Morning. We will need you there about 0945 to kick off the event with a prayer. The Saturday night Jam will start around 5.00 at the Guest House Hotel, 120 Madison Ave, just a couple of blocks from the Museum. The admissions to the show will be $10.00. This is a bargain since the regular admission for the Museum is $8.00. People will be able to tour the Museum from 1.00 till 4.00. included with the $10.00 show ticket. Now some of the players who are confirmed Don Helms with Chris Malpass These are confirmed. The times are not. We will also have a person inducted into the ASGA Hall of Fame, along with some other awards. Rooms are availiable at $50.57, walking out price at The Guest House Hotel & Suites. There will be a Warm Up, informal Jam at the Hotel at 5.00 Saturday night. Every one, Come On Down. This is really going to be a great show. |

Clyde, The pattern is full, in fact over full for Sunday. We have had many many players that would like to play. Saturday night Jam is still wide open if you can attend it. We definitely will have you a playing slot for our next function. I want all the gang to hear you pick on that C6th neck. Will see you Sunday in Atlanta.

They say it's best to cook the young pigs first, to see if the fire is right for the hogs! I gotta strange feelin' Tyler will be just fine! I know one thing, I wouldn't want to be in line behind him; maybe with a real long delay (time, not digital). |
