Just confirmed that Tugboat Jerry will be on hand both days to help us show respect for the artists that have paid salaries to the players over the years. Lynn Owsley, Billy Robinson, to name just two, will be on stage to really assist in this appreciation weekend tour. Much more to come, stay tuned.

Do you need for me to make room reservations? Let me know. Bring your fiddle too. We just might do "Faded Love" properly too. Anxious to hear that Sierra Steel Guitar you mentioned.

Larry, this is a great show. Jean and I played it a few years ago and loved it. Have been trying to get back, but it just hasn't worked out. Mr. Stafford is a great host.
