Hi everybody,
Well I'm back in the trenches as I continue teaching high school English with the 9th and 11th graders. (BAWL!, SOB!) Anyway, I'm glad to be back on the Forum. Hope everyone had a great summer.

Stop crying, Chuck !! Wasn't it a beautiful summer ? And just think, next year you can do it all over again. We once asked our singer/band leader why he did the same songs all the time.... He replied: We do 'em till you get them right !!

Regards, Paul

Hey Paul,
Nice to hear from you. Are you going to the St. Louis Convention? If so, I hope to get to meet you. I've enjoyed your articles for Frets Magazine. Hope all is well.

Nice to hear from you guys. Hey Leroy, how are the minor chords coming along? Rick, are you going to St. Louis. I hope to get a chance to talk with you there. Hey Wayne (Get Rowdy), give me a call and let's do dinner this week or next.

Hi Chuck, I am really glad I got to meet you and hear you play at the Steel Jam #5 in Golden Co. this summer. You were great!

Hello Doug,
I enjoyed meeting you, also. I'm glad that you enjoyed the Denver Jam. They are fun showcases for the steel guitar. Be sure to get on Dick Meis' mailing list so you will know of any future events. How is the steel guitar in your area?

Chuck, There's not a lot of steelers in this part of Wyoming any more but the instrument, and country music, are still pretty popular around here. I've was offered a couple of jobs this summer but I wasn't ready to play. I got a couple more months of woodshedding to do.

I can't make St. Louis this year but I am counting on Dick Meis' mailing list and this forum to keep me posted on your whereabouts.

Chuck,

Actually , no I wont be in St. Louis this year do to my work. I will try to make it to Dallas though in Spring and St. Louis next year. My wife loves going too.

Good luck on your teaching year. My wife returned to the classroom today as well. Hard to get back in the swing of things, right?
