Thanks to all who attended our 13th Annual Rocky Mountain Steel Guitar Show in July. It was a great success and we had an encouraging turnout. Rest assured, Steel Guitar is alive and well in the Rocky Mountain Region. Thanks also to our great roster of steel guitarists and their backing musicians who showed up to play. As always, we're looking forward to next year's show and any ideas on how we can make it even better.
Apart from that we've been very busy, playing and teaching and working on educational materials we sell on this website. It's hard to believe Fall is already here.
