This will be my 4th year attending. I absolutely love the show as well as getting to hang with old and new friends. And it looks like I may even get to play some chromatic harmonica on stage (again) with a couple of my steel guitar heroes.

Really looking forward to it!

Hello All;
Slim, will be great to see you & hear you on the chromatic harmonica - looking forward to it.

Oh man Dick - we will sure miss seeing you & your wife there. Sorry you will not be able to make it.

Hi Jim - I saw where you have a short but very important show to do in NYC on Saturday night -
I am hearing GREAT things about the Ronstadt Revue you are doing - we will miss seeing you but show 'em how it's done !!

Oh yeah... the old I've got a previous, important gig with my Ronstadt Revue band excuse. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that one... well.. I'd have a nickel.
We'll miss you Jim.. best of luck with the NY gig.

For the first time since I guess 2006 or 2007 I am not going to make this one. I am staying home to take care of Audra who is recovering from some foot surgery. Troy promised to save my spot for 2021 though. I am already looking forward to that one since this event is one of the highlights of my year.

It would be an honor Stu! Looking forward to seeing you again, I think the last time I saw you play was in Austin back in the 70's (missed your set 4 years ago)! Just replied to your PM....

I enjoy looking at the pics of the Mesa event. Wish I could get out there and visit, but Ky is a fur piece from Arizony.

Ya'll have fun and post some photos of the event if you please.

Looking forward to meeting new friends.

Wanted to come back this year but at the time I was called I couldn't confirm do to my day job. As it turned out I could have. Maybe next year. I sure had a blast last year.
