A couple of the distributors start early each day and continues to around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning! YOU may be able to play in one of these rooms. Depending on the brand of steel guitar you play.

Chouteau Room - We will also invite distributors to conduct short clinics in the Chouteau Room throughout the Convention. Only one extra activity is confirmed at this time. Chuck Lettes will demonstrate his C6 six string tuning. G-E-C-A-G-F. He is really great at the styles and chords he can get with this tuning!

We may have another function that will feature the non pedal steel in the Jefferson rooms A-B-C-D and most likely will be active every day of the Convention. As you can see there is a lot going on at the Convention other than the performances in the Main Ballroom.

One more thing. Country and Western singer, Barbara Mandrell will be present this year but as a non performing artist. You will be able to meet with her and get her autograph.

Meet me in St. Louis!

Astronaut, Steve Robinson, has come up with a unique idea.
He plans to have attendees at the Convention to sign their names at a special booth and he will carry those names into space with him on the Discovery shuttle in January.
If you get the chance, sign up at a special booth set up for this purpose at the International Steel Guitar Convention.

These three will most likey be broadcasted from the Chouteau Room and the actual day and times have to be decided as yet.

Barbara Mandrell will be present as a non performing artist.

Astronaught Steve Robinson will have a booth and will bring a banner to have as many signatures as the banner will accomodate and will take them into Outer Space when he departs this earth aboard the Discovery Shuttle in January. Note: we will need some voluteers to help Steve man the booth as he doesn't arrive until late Friday night. Anyone want to help him out?

We are exptecting more country and western singers to join us. They are just not confirmed as yet.
