Gospel Steel Guitar Show Ends
Wed, January 2009, - Filed in: Steel guitar | Gospel music
It was our favorite music event of all time, but after 16 years it comes to an end. The following message was posted on the Steel Guitar Forum this morning.
"After 16 years of promoting a steel guitar show featuring gospel music, it’s time to give it a rest. We tried to do the best we could to put on a good show with great talent and super pickers. We’ve had some of the best regionally and nationally know talent around to be a part of the show. It would be impossible to name all of the names of those who have contributed to the show across the years, so I just want to say thanks to all of those who have given of themselves to help us make this the best show we knew how with the limited budget that we had to work with. Many have sacrificed greatly to help the show and for that we will be forever grateful. We have been blessed to get to know so many great people.
We will keep the web site (www.gospelsteel.com) for now and will continue to sell DVD’s from the past shows. You can order them on the web from us or on this forum from b0b. I will also hold on to the name (Gospel Steel Guitar Association).
We still plan to be at Scotties in St. Louis with a booth and continue to sell our products as long as we can afford to do it, plus there will always be free coffee as long as we are there.
There are no plans for a 2009 show but Rob McKeithen and Albert Svenddal are looking into the possibility of doing a show in 2010. They will keep you all updated as to their plans.
Again thanks to all who gave of their time and talents to make this the best show we could.

We had attended the last 11 shows and greatly enjoyed all of them. It will be impossible to replace this unique show.
