Glad to see this getting some attention here. I got to make it down and play with a group for last year's show in Memphis. It was a ton fun of fun, with a lot of great performers.

[Ted Smouse]

That's great Andy! Who were you playing with?

We're super excited to be a part of the event. Are you going to be there this year in Austin?

Thanks,

Ted

Hi Kerry,

Thanks for your post about pictures from the showcase. It was a whirlwind weekend, and the showcase was amazing, from the great playing, to the big crowd that turned out. It was the biggest crowd for any of the daytime showcases at the Wyndham hotel for the Ameripolitan weekend.

Over the coming days, we'll post photos and videos here on the forum.

The dust is still settling here at SteelRadio from the Ameripolitan Music Awards weekend, then followed by tabling at the Junior Brown show Fri. 2/23 at Gruene Hall, and now getting ready for the Texas Steel Guitar Assoc Jamboree in Dallas. There is a lot going on in the steel guitar world and we are excited.

We'll get those pics and videos up in the coming days, and thank you for asking!

Ted
