Quad Cities Show , Davenport Iowa this year will headline Mike Sweeney. Anyone who hasn't heard Mike will be very impressed.
Had the pleasure to meet Mike at the Wisconsin Jam last year.
Our show will be held at the Col Ballroom on Sat. the 29th of April 2006 starting at 10;00 am will feature about 18 players from 6 states. Come join the fun and entertainment.
See you there Bruce

Thanks for the invitation Bruce... I played the Col Ballroom in 1993 with Shawn Camp and I found it to be a most beautifull place. Teresa and I are really looking forward to being there.
BTW, I'll have a NEW c.d. ready by then in case anyone is interested.

Bump two for Bruce and Mike! Looking forward to hearing you Mr. Sweeney. I was in Nashville over the Christmas holidays and picked up a CD by a young fella named Zack Neil with you on steel. What a treat.

Take care and see you in April.

Bruce, your set was great in Waterloo yesterday and we can't wait to hear you again at Your Quad Cities Show. Looks like you have compiled a good list of great players again.

For those of you who can make it, you will ALL enjoy Mike Sweeney! What a remarkable player and great guy! I am looking forward to seeing and hearing Mike on his new Zum.

Plan to attend the Quad Cities show this year! You will all have a good time!

It will be great to see Miss Lana again after the NE Iowa show along with the great Mike Sweeney. I saw him at The Palace a few years ago and he is truly a great player and person. See you there. Kirk

Can't wait for the Quad City Show. Really enjoyed it last year and we will be there this year with a CISGA booth.

Heard Mike Sweeney in Nashville and all I can say is you have a winner with him. What a player!! You guys don't want to miss this one.

Some of the local players I heard last year at this show were unreal to. Can't wait!!!

OK, the final show of the 3 big ones in our area, Iowa and Wisconsin. Looking forward to the Quad Cities show but I am a little sad that it is the last one for the year up here. What a great 3 months! Get the silos ready, we're coming to the Quads!

Hey Bruce, This is it. Lookin' forward to your show next month. The Col ballroom is the perfect setting for a GREAT! Steel guitar jam.
I have fond memories of the evolution of this show from Rock Island Ill. to Bluegrass Ia. then to the Col. And that time I hit the "stinkin'" deer and couldn't make it......Hmmmmmmmm.

Hey Mark- I heard you on that Bush Hog. You really get a great growl out of that!!! Do you have True Tones on it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Remember- Deer Crossing and silos don't mix. How is the fruit fly epidemic? I hope it is under control. In college, I did a biology project crossing red eyed and black eyed fruit flies. They were called "drasophila melanogastor flies" I am just a bundle of worthless knowledge.

See you there!

Hey Kirk I had that "gasrtogangliophnic" thing in my amp once. It knocked the "Pike" right off this guys fork at the fish fry I was playin' at the time. Also, did you notice the bananas around the waste of the cow on the jagwire strings wrapper?
Deer or no deer I gonna be there.....
It's always a great show.

Bruce,I am really looking forward to coming and playing at your show there in the Quads this year. I hope to see many of my friends there as well. I might even do the banana-bar thing unless Mark beats me to it. God bless, Albert Svenddal p.s. I have moved back to the Minneapolis, MN area recently, so I hope that won't disqualify me from your Iowa show. lol

Miss Lana, Yes The Western Justice Band will be there. They are an awesome bunch of people. Albert, Let me know what kind of bananas you need and ripeness level. I'll see what I can do. Really looking forward to this show, the last one for the Iowa / Wisconsin trio.
