Well done John, its looking Good.
Just a suggestion but how about formulating a list of songs for the round robin
so we (particulary us beginners) can have look at them before we get there and have an Idea of what to play ?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Sounds like a great idea Shaun, How about all you beginners pick 3 toons each that you like and feel comfortable having a go at AND GIVE ME THE KEY YOU PREFER TO PLAY IN........ and we will compile a list and tracks (if we can) that will allow you all to shine to the best of your ability ......OK?

[Shaun]

OK John,
Heres my suggestions
I Can see Clearly now Key C
Red River Valley Key C or E
Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain Key E

[Will C]

Should be OK for me.
I left it for a while before replying.
Got a chance of a Canada trip but it still isnt planned.
What time does the bar open so my Phavorite Photographer can buy me a pint?
I need new photos bob. With the new steel....
What time is the BBQ?
You will have to plan me in earlier in the evening John if it's a late one, might have plans also for the next day.
Can Texas, my dog come?
He plays a mean C6th!

I could take over the meetings if this is Johns' last one but need to ask you all if somewhere closer to me in Suffolk is ok.
There are lots of steel players in this neck of the woods who would support I know. I have close contacts with international players. There could be something I could plan. There is a possibility of Mike Johnson coming over. I am sure you would all like to be at a meeting with him there? I may bring some questionnaire forms to gather your thoughts and views. Maybe once a year with a pro player to attract you all. Questions and answers will be needed from you all.

Mines a bitter bob...
