Sorry to keep you waiting I'm going as fast as I can!

Great music! You all have such a fantastic tone!

Just watched them all 3 times over. Every single one has got absolutely superb steel playing. Fantastic "highlights". Brings it all back as to what a great day it was. Thanks JD for the show and to BA for the videos. (now off to watch them again!) Regards Graham

So glad you are enjoying the videos Graham, great to see you as ever, a couple just on and more to come, it was a great day was it not! As DH would say!! Sorry JD but my ‘head was a shed’ by the time my spot came along, folks contacted me via the site, came along wanting to buy steels or get repairs done so some networking was being done in the background quite apart from the camera work! I think you and I are the only ‘Tubers’ that give it straight from the camera as a rule! Everybody else goes in ‘sound from the desk’ I applied it this time as I want the wider world to be proud of us, that's all! As they should be, me excluded, there is such talent not least your good self and I would cheerfully overdub your playing anytime and well you know it! I so wish the other ‘players’ would join us, life is not a rehearsal and we need to keep this psg live! We need to see or even have them grace us with their presence! Pete Hayward, Sarah Jory, Kenny Byng, Dave Nutt, Barry Gaskell, Gerrry Hogan, Dave Hayward, Uncle Roy to name but a few! and while I’m on a role we must get Eric to the next one even if we have to dope him to get him there! He ripped us all off and its pay back time!! We may have to get our buddy Frank over here to cuff and drag him, he still has a few torturous artefacts around him I believe! Wouldn't that be something! Frank and Lin would just love it!

John, Well done mate, the steel fraternity in the UK should be chuffed that they have JD, its great that the 'new lads' Thurlby & Kirk where able to get there, their contribution should be valued, together with all the other talent on display.
Most of all, what an experience for the newer guys to be able to witness first hand what can be done with a bit of passion and a lot of practice.
JD your a star. (my mate Bob Adams twinkkles a bit also.lol)

As I said over on the 'other forum', many thanks to Bob for his videos, he worked at it non-stop all day, and of course thank you to John for organising the day

Got some great ideas for players, JD, but not sponsers! Oh well, here's hoping!
